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

[christon26]

kh99 thank you so much for the help you give in this thread, after much searching to find what I wanted I used your coding (with changes for vb3 lol) on my board, example here: http://www.digiscrapforum.com/showthread.php?t=2287 I think it looks much nicer than the old display :P

This is for vBulletin 4 if you look at the forum name. However, you should create your own thread for this.

Thanks for a worthless response

You could try using this in your postbit or postbit_legacy template:

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

then it seems like the same plugin code should work.

OK if I enable the plugin the similar threads dont show up at all. Can you help me identify what in the plugin isnt working ?

[kh99]

Hmm...seems like it should work. The reason it doesn't show at all is because the plugin unsets the $similarthreads variable so that it won't show in the usual place. So the str_replace isn't working - are you sure you put it in the same template you're using (postbit or postbit_legacy), and in the same style that you're viewing? Try doing something like this:

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

and see if the x shows up at all.

Thank you so so much after you mentioned if I was putting the code in postbit or postbit_legacy I noticed I was placing it in postbit legacy rather that postbit. testing and working now..

If I wanted to move this above the first post what do I need to change or is that not recommended from a SEO prospective.

[kh99]

If you wanted it above the first post you could just move the part you inserted to be at the top of the postbot template. Or you could probably just edit the SHOWTHREAD template and move the similarthreads code, then you wouldn't need the plugin. I have no idea about SEO.
