MyBB Community Forums

Hi I am trying to show similar threads after first post and I use this thread as a reference but it makes no sense: http://community.mybb.com/thread-110877.html

I think you should be working with postbit template not showthread anyways anyone have a solution?

<?=str_replace('<!-- SIMILAR_THREADS -->', $similarthreads, $posts)?>

will template conditionals recognize this?

It will require a PHP in templates I believe. Any other solutions that works with template conditionals?

It was recommended in the linked thread by plugin author, so obviously yes...

Step by step as requested (follow it carefully):
1. In showthread template replace:

	<div id="posts">
		{$posts}
	</div>

with:

	<div id="posts">
		<?=str_replace('<!--SIMILAR_THREADS-->', $similarthreads, $posts)?>
	</div>

2. In postbit and/or postbit_classic template(s) add at the end, below last line:

<if $postcounter == 1 then>
    <!--SIMILAR_THREADS-->
</if>

3. Make sure that similar threads are enabled in Configuration -> Show Thread Options.

Just tested and it hides all the posts!!!

Doesn't work?

Can anybody build a simple plugin out of this:

	$similarthreads = '';
	if($mybb->settings['showsimilarthreads'] != 0)
	{
		switch($db->type)
		{
			case "pgsql":
				$query = $db->query("
					SELECT t.*, t.username AS threadusername, u.username
					FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t
					LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."users u ON (u.uid = t.uid), plainto_tsquery ('".$db->escape_string($thread['subject'])."') AS query
					WHERE t.fid='{$thread['fid']}' AND t.tid!='{$thread['tid']}' AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%' AND t.subject @@ query
					ORDER BY t.lastpost DESC
					OFFSET 0 LIMIT {$mybb->settings['similarlimit']}
				");
				break;
			default:
				$query = $db->query("
					SELECT t.*, t.username AS threadusername, u.username, MATCH (t.subject) AGAINST ('".$db->escape_string($thread['subject'])."') AS relevance
					FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads t
					LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."users u ON (u.uid = t.uid)
					WHERE t.fid='{$thread['fid']}' AND t.tid!='{$thread['tid']}' AND t.visible='1' AND t.closed NOT LIKE 'moved|%' AND MATCH (t.subject) AGAINST ('".$db->escape_string($thread['subject'])."') >= '{$mybb->settings['similarityrating']}'
					ORDER BY t.lastpost DESC
					LIMIT 0, {$mybb->settings['similarlimit']}
				");
		}

		$count = 0;
		$similarthreadbits = '';
		$icon_cache = $cache->read("posticons");
		while($similar_thread = $db->fetch_array($query))
		{
			++$count;
			$trow = alt_trow();
			if($similar_thread['icon'] > 0 && $icon_cache[$similar_thread['icon']])
			{
				$icon = $icon_cache[$similar_thread['icon']];
				$icon = "<img src=\"{$icon['path']}\" alt=\"{$icon['name']}\" />";
			}
			else
			{
				$icon = "&nbsp;";
			}				
			if(!$similar_thread['username'])
			{
				$similar_thread['username'] = $similar_thread['threadusername'];
				$similar_thread['profilelink'] = $similar_thread['threadusername'];
			}
			else
			{
				$similar_thread['profilelink'] = build_profile_link($similar_thread['username'], $similar_thread['uid']);
			}
			
			// If this thread has a prefix, insert a space between prefix and subject
			if($similar_thread['prefix'] != 0)
			{
				$prefix = build_prefixes($similar_thread['prefix']);
				$similar_thread['threadprefix'] = $prefix['displaystyle'].'&nbsp;';
			}
			
			$similar_thread['subject'] = $parser->parse_badwords($similar_thread['subject']);
			$similar_thread['subject'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($similar_thread['subject']);
			$similar_thread['threadlink'] = get_thread_link($similar_thread['tid']);
			$similar_thread['lastpostlink'] = get_thread_link($similar_thread['tid'], 0, "lastpost");

			$lastpostdate = my_date($mybb->settings['dateformat'], $similar_thread['lastpost']);
			$lastposttime = my_date($mybb->settings['timeformat'], $similar_thread['lastpost']);
			$lastposter = $similar_thread['lastposter'];
			$lastposteruid = $similar_thread['lastposteruid'];

			// Don't link to guest's profiles (they have no profile).
			if($lastposteruid == 0)
			{
				$lastposterlink = $lastposter;
			}
			else
			{
				$lastposterlink = build_profile_link($lastposter, $lastposteruid);
			}
			$similar_thread['replies'] = my_number_format($similar_thread['replies']);
			$similar_thread['views'] = my_number_format($similar_thread['views']);
			eval("\$similarthreadbits .= \"".$templates->get("showthread_similarthreads_bit")."\";");
		}
		if($count)
		{
			eval("\$similarthreads = \"".$templates->get("showthread_similarthreads")."\";");
		}
	}

D666 baby thanks very much but it doesn't work please take a look at snapshots

<?=str_replace('<!--SIMILAR_THREADS-->', $similarthreads, $posts)?>

This is PHP not conditional!!!!!!!!!
