[Ajax] Check for similar thread before posting a new one
Developer Last Online: Sep 2010 
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: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...1&postcount=27 Installation:
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 outdated (made for vB 3.6.*) Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information. Screenshots Show Your Support

I tried - 1.2.6 JS file - product and - 1.3.2 JS file - a template edit in mrxxxx something - product still now luck. I'm running 3.8.2 EDIT: I confirm this mod works on 3.8.2! since many people posted not working replies, I'll share what I did: - download just the XML file - click INSTALL - import the XML file - Go do the template edit - Go enable the product in vB settings (it's under Message Interface and Editing Options, at very bottom) - Rebuil Similar Threads in Maintenance - Done and it'll work. Thank you MrNase. It's really great to have something do LIVE quick search before posting the same thread lol But there is a small problem. When I enabled this product in vB settings, my newthread.php changes the look. IE. The editor box and my thread description box including the smilies move to the left. Only the Prefix box and thread title box stayed same as where they were before product is enabled. PS: How may I add a scroll bar allowing me to search more than 5 and the scroll bar is as high as 5 results? No members have liked this post.

I'm now super confused. I installed this on one of my boards & it's working perfectly.
Now I'm trying to install it on a new board (with only 2 test posts) and it won't work! It appears & then says nothing can be found.... The two test posts are both called test & test test - then I try to create a new topic called test (so it should appear in the similar topics right?) it doesn't!! The default vbulletin (fulltext) search engine finds both topics from a search of 'test' & I've rebuilt the similar threads a million times (they're also enabled in the admincp) ... I'm totally lost with this one! No members have liked this post.

Thanks, still not working perfectly but it is now working for some posts. I presume the post index just has to build up & then it'll work.
Many thanks No members have liked this post.
