Hi there!

I decided to give my old Add-on a little update.

You love the 'similar threads' function and you are sick of duplicate threads just because your users don't use the search function?

Why not just combine them?

This Add-on will grab the thread title the user typed in and it will load a small box (using Ajax magic ) with 5 similar threads just like the 'similar threads' function that you can normally find under an already posted thread.

The box also tells the user to search through the similar threads first BEFORE starting a new one.


Features:
- indicated if you already subscribed to one or more similar threads
- hover over the title and it gives a little preview of the thread's content
- no edits whatsoever needed, just import the product file, enable the Add-on and it works (well, it should )
- you can turn it off for certain forums or
- you can turn it off completely without leaving any code that messes your templates/files
- it can be translated
- don't like it anymore? Remove the product and you'll never see that Add-on again


Known issues:
- none


Things to consider:

It uses jQuery to get the information from ajax.php. jQuery is great and you can do many great things with it and unlike the vBulletin method it's quite easy to understand.
Here's the version I use: http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/do...s&downloadBtn=

Just download the file from the location and put it into the 'clientscript' folder on your server without renaming the file.

jQuery 1.3 is out, read this if you would like to update: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=27



Installation:
  1. Download jQuery as described above.
  2. Import the attached file using the Product Manager. Go to your vBulletin settings and search for 'Check for similar threads?'.
  3. Enable it.


Important:
It adds 2 new templates, it changes 1 template and it edits 2 files. I highly doubt that it will break you vBulletin but do a back-up and be on the safe side.



Version history:
2.0 -> this release
1.0 -> outdated (made for vB 3.6.*)

Maybe we all have so mod conflict you don't because no matter what version I try it doesn't work.

I like to see a demo of this working for real because I don't believe it works at all!

My board's forums can only be seen by members only. Does that make a different? Guests can't see the forums at all.

I tried this template edit and it still doesn't work.

I had the auto tagger mod installed and disabled it because someone reported a possible conflict and it still doesnt work.

The mod here has bugs! Look at how many are reporting it does't work!

TRY TO DO WHAT FIX?

The template edit that was already suggested didn't work for me. You didn't suggest any edit in your reply but just gave two screen shots.

So lets go people how about some real step by step instructions or even better how about the developer of this mode make a real fix for the many people this doesn't work for please!

Would it matter that now all my usergroups can see all forums but only certain selected?

Any coder/developer out there willing to take a look at my board and lend a hand to get this to work?

I can make a admin account for you so please PM me if you can help me out.

I'm on vb3.8 with vBa installed.

THANKS!

So are there any other setting in the vb adminCP that need to be on or off for this to begin to work?

I using the default template, on vb3.8.0 with latest vba installed, the board is not open to guests. I did the template edit as suggested. It still won't work. So I don't see what I am missing.

Because I did the template edit, I have tried also uploading a few different version of the script and nothing works!

I am getting very close to UNINSTALLING!

HELP PLEASE!

Thanks!

So here is my template after I did the edit:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function(){
                $("#inputthreadtitle").bind("blur", function(){
                    var value =$(this).val(); 
                    $('td#similarthreadcheckcontent').html('<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/13x13progress.gif" />');
                    $.ajax({
                        type: "GET",
                        url: "ajax.php",
                        data: "do=getsimilarthreads&title="+value,
                        success: function(msg){
                            $('td#similarthreadcheckcontent').html(msg);
                             }
                    });
                });
            });
        </script>
This mod still doesn't load the similar threads. So what could be the problem???

So I installed this mod on one of my 3.7x sites and it works perfectly even without the template edit.

On my 3.8x board I still can't get it to work. So there is obviously a conflict somewhere that I have found!

ANY IDEAS???
