Placing SIMILAR THREADS Box under First Post or somewhere else instead of LAST

[kh99]

OK, you did say you wanted step by step. Thing is I haven't tried it so I could step by step you into something that doesn't actually work. But here goes:

1) Edit postbit_legacy, and where you want the similar threads to appear (at the end I suppose), insert this:

<vb:if condition="$post['isfirstshown']"><!-- similar threads --></vb:if>

2) In the adminCP go to Products & Plugins > Add New Plugin, and find "showthread_complete" in the Hook Location dropdown.

3) Enter a title, something so that later you'll remember what this plugin is for.

4) In the large "Plugin PHP Code" box, enter this:

if (isset($similarthreads))
{
    $postbits = str_replace('<!-- similar threads -->', $similarthreads, $postbits);
    unset($similarthreads);
}

5) Select the Yes radio button next to Plugin is Active at the bottom, and click Save.


There's a chance it won't work. If it doesn't, post here and maybe I'll have to actually try it.
