Similar Threads 5.3

You need PHP version >= 4.2.0 for mb_split()
What version do you have?

PHP 5.5.10. But I already resolved the problem with a tip from Andy. PHP has to be compiled with the option mb_string. I was using php without it.

For the people just like me who want to show similar threads only for guests under the last post of a thread just change the template andy_similarthreads_below_quick_reply

and then change the first line into:

<xen:if is="{$similarThreads} AND {$showBelowQuickReply} AND !{$visitor.user_id}">

This will make it only visible for guests (because you want to reduce the bounce rate for traffic coming from search engines but this is to much information for your regulars).

@AndyB any chance of you adding a forum whitelist instead of blacklist, ie: only in these forum IDs. I'll happily throw you a few bucks to do so.

 

[woei]

@md_5 you can change it yourself also for now.

Add to the template in the first line into: AND in_array({$thread.node_id}, array(y, z)) where y and z are the nodes id's

<xen:if is="{$similarThreads} AND {$showBelowQuickReply} AND in_array({$thread.node_id}, array(y, z))">

You need to change the correct template corresponding, if you use the position under the quick reply it's andy_similarthreads_below_quick_reply
For more info see the conditional statements. If you need help and/or want to throw some bucks to me, just start a conversation with me

The only issue I am having is that it breaks autocomplete for thread titles.

I have my introduction forum excluded but it is still showing in the Similar Thread box

Great addon!

For my needs, I extended this addon to make it work with XenZine Articles so that it'll search for similar articles as they type the title in the overlay. Here are the results:

Update: Would be great if we can omit the keywords from displaying

Can you help me, I can't get it to show below post and quick reply, but it works great when I create a new thread.

Looks like this guy had the same error.

Aw really? But it's so nice what made you uninstall it? What did you do to make it work anyways?

I need more customisation options. I've mentioned them in this thread earlier.

I am getting the same error as Barbossa and I have php version 5. Any idea?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_split() in /home/freefrag/public_html/library/Andy/SimilarThreads/ControllerPublic/Thread.php on line 75

Similar Threads v3.0 changes:

Added Multibyte to Options page. By default Multibyte PHP code will not be used. This is done because some PHP installations are not compiled with Multibyte and fail if MB code is used. Those forums which require Multibyte will need to check this option.

This is right?

 

[Anthony Parsons]

I'm currently using the other one of these on my forums, does this one work with Elastic Search?

 

[Mian Shahid]

Kindly also add "exclude forum" option

Hi, the add-on just manages to show the similar threads under the quick reply field - not under the first post. Does anyone have a similar problem and solution? Thanks!
