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

Any Idea why it has spaces instead of like the others without any spaces?

Hi I||usi0nz,

When you expand setting groups it shown only options titles, not descriptions, and some options in my hacks haven't titles defined. Then it shows only empty rows for those options. I put several options under one title to save page space and another reason is that I personally think it's unneded to define title for every single option.

This can be changed if anyone really need it.

[lolo?]

excellent hack thanks a lot

If you could build some kind of cut down search page, instead of the regular one, then I'd definitely use this. Not sure how hard that would be to do, it's just that I don't like horizontal scrollbars on the search results, and there's no point displaying my advertising, logo, etc in a popup window. If you could find a way to have 'cybsearch.php' file that only displays the search results, then I think this would be a 10/10 product

Mod Version: 1.2 = minor description error...

description="This will count new posts and threads since your last visit."

I know I could write a very long conditional but it would be great to have an ACP option as to which forums to display this in.

Thanks for the hack.

Try version 1.3 and be sure that pop-ups are not blocked by some "pop-up blocker" or firewall, if such programs are installed on your PC.
