Show Similar Threads On Thread Creation [Paid] [Deleted]

[Brent W]

How do we get the new files?

 

[Brent W]

Thanks to @Code Monkey I found the files. I am still not seeing Similar Threads appearing at the bottom with this update. Rebuilt Thread Caches and nothing. I know some of the threads I am going to have similar type threads around the same forum. Some even on the same first page.

Are you showing threads from all forums?

Are you showing threads from all forums?

No, just same forum.

This thread has one: http://www.fordforumsonline.com/threads/98-3-8l-windstar.10250/

but other threads that seem like they should come up empty.

Search this forum: http://www.fordforumsonline.com/forums/ford-mustang.23/

Can't find one that has similar threads on the first page.

I haven't updated yet. I'll see how it goes.

Elastic Search seems to have improved the results drastically. Now getting much more similar threads on threads.

 

[Code Monkey]

I don't have that installed. Seems to be working better since I changed it to show only the current forum. That site is ten years old so it shows too many old threads if I have it on all forums. I'll have to ponder the elastic search.

Hi!

How can I sort similar threads in descending published date order?

 

[Brandon Sheley]

works great, thanks!

From what I can tell, there's a missing </span> tag in the similar_threads template?

                            <div class="posterDate muted">
                                <xen:username user="$thread" title="{xen:phrase thread_starter}" /><span class="startDate">,
                                <a{xen:if {$visitor.user_id}, ' href="{xen:link threads, $thread}"'} class=""><xen:datetime time="$thread.post_date" title="{xen:if {$visitor.user_id}, '{xen:phrase go_to_first_message_in_thread}'}" /></a></span><span class="containerName">, {xen:phrase in_forum}: <a href="{xen:link forums, $thread.forum}" class="forumLink">{$thread.forum.title}</a>****</span>***
                            </div>

Look in @nrep and you will see both open and close correctly. You're not looking at that code correctly.

 

[nrep]

Are you sure? I count two open <span> tags and one </span>. The last bit marked as "***</span>***" is the bit I've added to highlight where it should go.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

If the last span in asterisk isn't there, then yes, you are correct. My apologies.

Hi!

Any help on this, please?

 

[maxicep]

Any way to rebuild similar threads of all threads in forum ? Because, similar threads in bottom of thread just after install this plugin.

 

[Stuart Wright]

Doesn't work for me. There are valid matching threads and the system seems to be searching after I tab out of the title.
But nothing is displayed.

Hi!

Still need help here. Anyone?

EDIT: or better sort it by last post descending! @Lior. , can you help please?

 

[Volion]

Is this add-on still supported/developed?

So far really liking this. It's something we've been missing since moving from phpBB3 as we had a similar add-on installed then.
