Just curious if anyone knows what mod DP uses for their 'Similar Threads' section. What I'm referring to is when you're viewing a posted thread and scroll all the way to the bottom you see 5 'Similar Threads". I'm pretty new to vBulletin and not sure if that may just be in the admincp and I have to enable it somewhere... If that's the case where would I locate that option? Thanks!
The option is built into vBulletin. For the underlying method of determining which threads are similar, we use the Sphinx search system we built: http://products.digitalpoint.com/vbulletin-sphinx-search.php
There are 2 settings that you have to configure. 1 is 'Thread Display Options (showthread)' and the other 1 is 'Message Searching Options'. After you set both of these settings to Yes, update the counter. - Dynashox -
Thanks for your reply. I have done this and the similar threads actually show inside the first post of the thread. How do I get them to show in their own box like on DP please?
It should display in its own box by default. Probably you have installed a mod which display similar threads under the first post. - Dynashox -
