New Posting Features - Cyb - Check If Already Posted

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

This will be better if can control which USERGROUP can use the option and VIEW it . We have few sections forbidden for other user if they try use that option might able view sum of the content that forbidden for them .

Plus if posible make Check URL options too..Which have option tick to check URL if been post or not .

Thank you for the mod

When I hilight the button "Check if already posted" it shows directly the drop down choices
How can I adjust it so it shows it only when I click the that button

I have one problem. We use žćšč. letters.

This come up when we search with this letters included koko??injca and must be kokošinjca, so then cant make a good search. Can be fixed.

Thanks
