Cyb - Check If Already Posted · **Released**: 05-02-2008

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

Agreed. I'd like it to check similar threads on submit then either post the new thread or return with a list of similar threads above the subject and the body of the new thread ready for a c&p.

No! This was on a big board - they don't seem to have any problems.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
