Similar Threads 5.3

No permission to download
The Similar Threads add-on uses default XenForo CSS classes. That way any style that is used will make the add-on look great.

In you case if you're not happy with the heading background color of the dark style you are using, I suggest adding an override in the EXTRA.css template. The class you want to change is:

Code:
.dataRow {
    background:#ffffff;
}

Change #ffffff to any color you like.

this change work not for me.
 
Hello,
thank you for this nice add-on. I turned on the "same forum" option as without this limitation the loading time of the tread-view was much higher. It might be useful to have the "same forum" limitation seperately for the create thread dialogue and the view thread template as a higher loading time is not so critical when you create a thread IMHO.

Another thing I noticed was that similiar threads from Waindigo`s social groups have been listed despite the fact that the viewing user had no viewing access to those groups. I have to re-check this as I might have made a mistake in my permission set-up.

all the best,
Sacha
 
I just installed this tonight and so far it is really looking good.

One question for now: Is it possible to sort the results by date descending so that the threads with the most recent activity are shown first?

Correction.... I see in Model.php that the sort order is xf_thread.thread_id desc -- the problem I'm running into is that after merging forums the imported threads that are old will end up with a thread_id greater than more recent content.

Perhaps a new ACP option for the sort?

Great add-on. Just curious if it is possible to not change the tab focus sequence on creation of a new thread. Right now, the focus switches from the title to the similar thread box instead of the thread message box. Thanks!
 
Not sure if I'm doing this right, but my settings are as followed;

http://d.pr/i/2WPc

And I don't see any "Similar Threads" after or while typing in the thread title. It looks the same without the addon installed.

- Updated -

After speaking with Andy, I've come to conclusion that this was a problem on my behalf. When creating threads, I was using words smaller than 5 characters, and ones not within actual thread titles. So all is well now!

AndyB updated Similar Threads with a new update entry:

See description.

Similar Threads v3.1 changes:

Added User Group Permissions. This will allow showing or not showing Similar Threads based on the user group viewing the thread.

Normally this will be set to Allow for each user group, but it's possible to not show Similar Threads to any specific user group by leaving the permission set to Not set (No) for that group.

Read the rest of this update entry...
