vB 3.7 VERSION HERE:
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

Cyb, is this hack using the vB search algorithm or the fulltext search? I'm using fulltext and that might the cause of the trouble, because it's still there.

Awesome hack!! .. I was wanting to use this but everytime i install it, it comflicts badly with this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=EXTRA+THREAD
hack. Anybody know how i would go about getting these two to work together.. If i install the "Has this been posted" hack... the extra fields in the other simply disappear. I unstall the "Has this been posted" and everything from the other mod comes back.. weird.. I cant seem to figure out what the problem is.....

Is it possible to add an option whether to show the little menu (it's annoying to some of my forum members).

Otherwise please attach a copy that has the "Search Button" alone .. so that options are set to defaults for all members.
