[Ajax] Check for similar thread before posting a new one
![]() Developer Last Online: Sep 2010 ![]() ![]()
You love the 'similar threads' function and you are sick of duplicate threads just because your users don't use the search function?
Why not just combine them? This Add-on will grab the thread title the user typed in and it will load a small box (using Ajax magic ![]() The box also tells the user to search through the similar threads first BEFORE starting a new one. Features: - no edits whatsoever needed, just import the product file, enable the Add-on and it works (well, it should ![]() - you can turn it off for certain forums or - you can turn it off completely without leaving any code that messes your templates/files - it can be translated - don't like it anymore? Remove the product and you'll never see that Add-on again Known issues: - none Things to consider: It uses jQuery to get the information from ajax.php. jQuery is great and you can do many great things with it and unlike the vBulletin method it's quite easy to understand. ![]() The jQuery file is compressed and only 20kb large. To download the file, visit the homepage at http://jquery.com/ The link to download the file is on the right hand side. Here's the version I use: http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/do....1.3.1.pack.js Just download it and put it into the 'clientscript' folder without renaming the file. Installation: Download jQuery as described above. Import the attached file using the Product Manager. Go to your vBulletin settings and search for 'Check for similar threads?'. Enable it. ![]() Important: It adds 2 new templates, it changes 1 template and it edits 2 files. I highly doubt that it will break you vBulletin but do a back-up and be on the safe side. Version history: 1. initial release 2. current release *** fixed some browser issues. The attached file is up to date. How to fix the Opera problems in the first release: The first release of this Add-on didn't work on Opera. To fix the problems, please follow these steps: Open the template 'mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header' and REPLACE the content with this code: HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $("#inputthreadtitle").bind("blur", function(){ var value =$(this).val(); $('td#similarthreadcheckcontent').html('<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/13x13progress.gif" />'); $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "ajax.php", data: "do=getsimilarthreads&title="+value, success: function(msg){ $('td#similarthreadcheckcontent').html(msg); } }); }); }); </script> ![]() Support will only given to those who have clicked 'install'. ![]() Show Your Support

Is the error I posted part of another hack I have or is it something to do with yours?

Since it's working for 99% of the users, it must be something wrong with your files or with another plugin.
![]() From what I see, there's an error in a vB file that isn't touched by this Add-on. ![]() |

Works great for me
![]() For the people that it doesn't work for: 1) Upload/install product 2) upload jQuery to clientscript folder (found in first post) 3) Make sure the "Check for similar threads?" Option is set to "On" in vBulletin Options. I missed some of these when i first read the post, so if anyone missed anything i hope this helps... Also, about other browsers, it's most probably jQuery ![]() |

Installed....
![]() Thanks .... :up: Question: I assume that when it displays similar posts in forums, it considers the user's access rights? In other words, it's not going to display a list of posts in forums that he doesn't have permissions for? Regards, Badger |
