New Posting Features - Cyb - Check If Already Posted

vB 3.7 VERSION HERE:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177936

=======

Info:
User can check if the same/similar thread already exist when posting new one. Button is shown right after the thread title field in newthread form. When button is clicked then javascript code opens popup window with search results. Entered thread title is used as search query. Additionaly you can choose to search thread titles only or entire posts, to show results as threads or posts, to search current forum only or all. You can also exclude forums in ACP, set default pop-up window dimensions,...

All search permissions (by usergroups, forums) will be applied here too.


Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

2. OPTIONAL (for very customized styles - if button not shown):
In newthread template find: <td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>
Below it add: $cybcheckifposted


To set options go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Cyb - Check If Already Posted

Cyb,

Thanks for the hack. A question:

It seems to me that when you do the search you take the string entered for the title and throw it in the search here: &query='+document.vbform.subject.value+'.

If I understood this right, and from the hack's behavior in my forums, it's looking for a complete, closed string, not for individual words. It's searching for ALL words. What I'm seeing happening is lots of topics with similar titles not being found because of this, when IMHO it should be looking for ANY of the words in the topic title.

Please let me know if I understood this wrong. Thanks!

Great hack Cybernetec :up:, but unfortunately I don't know how to exclude certain forums (like the Publicity ones) from the hack's search. Is there any template editing involved or is there an option in the ACP that I'm missing?

All permissions set for regular searching are applied to this too.

It does exactly the same as regular search. I have improved codes a bit in the latest version. Please upgrade and check if problem is gone.
