Thanks for your replies guys

I've made a plugin out of this code from showthread.php

PHP Code:

    }

    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('showthread_similarthread_query')) ? eval($hook) : false;

}
else
{

} 


I placed it at postbit_display_start, postbit_display_complete, global_start.
Tried all 3 with no results.

Same thing with the templates

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array(
    'showthread_similarthreadbit',
    'showthread_similarthreads',
); 


This is how I tried to call the templates from POSTBIT

$similarthreads
$similarthreadbit

but nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?
