Related Post Mod

[algert]

I need a Related Post Mod which shows something which relate with the thread title/post

I have something which shows below Quick Reply, I seriously do not remember when I have installed that, cause it looks crappy and not useful at all, screenshot:-



------------

I need something more similar to what we have in vB, but instead of similar mod, i'd like similar threads, like this:-

To show threads like that below postbox, go to vBulletin Options > Thread Display Options > Show Similar Threads and select 'yes' as the option.

If you just turned it on, you also need to go to maintenance > update counters > rebuild similar threads. You also need to turn on vboptions > message searching options > automatic similar thread search

Thanks btw, this Similar Thread, where will it show in the threads?? Cause I tried Updating it when i switched it off and updating the rebuild similar threads when i switched it on, but still no difference. :S

Edited:- can you tell me what makes that thing in red on the screenshot below shows?

If there are Similar Threads then they will show up below Quick Reply by default assuming your style did not remove them.

The thing in red is just the Previous Thread | Next Thread thingie like here, only the one here is above the Quick Reply box, not below like in your picture (your's is in the default location; the one here was moved).

So basically the next/previous threads, is the "Similar Threads Options Set to Yes"? And how do I move it to the top of the quick reply?

And is there a mod/add-on that works like this, but instead of Similar Mod, it shows Similar Threads?:-

You are talking about two different things.

Similar Threads is the same as Similar Mod except the title of that section was changed (probably just a phrase change). I told you how to turn it on and how to get it working in my previous posts.

Next/Previous is totally different. If you want to move it, find this code in SHOWTHREAD and move it to where you want:

<if condition="$show['next_prev_links']">
<!-- next / previous links -->
bunch of stuff
<!-- / next / previous links -->
</if>

Ok, first I'll just need the similar thread thing, so how is it possible to move similar thread above quick reply, which one is the code?


Thanks again!

Edited:- I got it worked out, thanks, you can close this thread!

If you look in the SHOWTHREAD template, you'll see the similar threads are just a variable, $similarthreads
