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

[RMS-Chef]

Thanks for adding the forum exclude option. I will do an install on my test board to try it out.

Now all your mods works great, how it is possible that?
Is possible that do after the servers owners have removed the cache, I've asked and they answer haven't do nithing, but I untrust

When I try to open a new thread:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/mhd-01/www.lottosqueeze.org/htdocs/forums/newthread.php(70) : eval()'d code(14) : eval()'d code on line 1

This happen only if I translate the phrase from English to Italian

*INSTALLED* Very nice feature... this will help the eager beavers that don't look before posting news threads! Thanks!

[RMS-Chef]

Another feature request/question.
Would it be possible to add an ACP option "Forum Specific Search" Yes/No?

I would like the ability to have the search only be run in the forum that the thread is being created in. I think that would be a usefull option to this nice hack.

[ForumDog]

There are a few validation issues with the code for the plugin...

To solve them, move the opening <td> tag above the beginning of the javascript, add "type="text/javascript" to the opening javascript tag and add a "/" to the end of the input tag to self close it.

I think that was it.

for those using vB 3.6.2 AND are using the updated templates,

Replace "85" (maxlength="85") with "$vboptions[titlemaxchars]". This is a new option to set how long thread and posts titles may be.
