Probably have a big chance of nothing appearing at all.

[Laibeus Lord]

Curious, any chance to use the "Custom Index" instead??

Thanks!

I don't think so. It would require whole different start point.

[lupus]

see Display.template.php and find related it should be at bottom.

For different themes just get code from messageindex and replace

foreach ($context['topics'] as $topic) with $context['related'] as $topic edit header and footer so it works put whole code in if (count($context['related']) > 0)
{
... code ...
}

Sorry where should i be looking for this bit??  Here's the bottam bit of my Display.template.php.  What should i be adding and where??

The only think Iam missing is Related topic text.

I can see window filled with related topics but above it, I would need some txt so users would know that bellow are related topics.

If someone could tell me where to add it I would realy appriciate it.

[L.G.S]

So when are my related topics going to appear.. it's been over a week now

So when are my related topics going to appear.. it's been over a week now

I'm wondering the same thing...

Like I said there needs to be posts that have few same words that are not usual (in 50% messages/subjects).
This cannot be affected by me, its MySQL thing.

[L.G.S]

Well what can we do to change it.. why cant we have an admin panel which we can select a % of the same topic to show or something.. I tried the IPB mod for this and it starts straight away.

[IKShadow]

hehe we would realy need some expanation how this FTI related thing works.

I dont belive we can set % how much related topic should be to show.

My forum is quite new ( Idid not transfer 150K of posts and 1.5K of users from the old phpbb one, we needed one fresh start ) but related topics worked immediately , and I have only 2K of posts and 100 users now.

I guess the problems you have its completly MYSQL FTI related, try to do manual FTI QUERY for related topics thingy. ( dunno sql statement, but someone will post it )

Is there a limit how many related topics will show, I dont want after few months to have list of 50 topics bellow.

p.s. Niko: The Related Topic text worked perfectly .

[mgaidia]

would this mod work with a non english forum correctly
im using french

[IKShadow]

off course , its uses mysql full text index function that looks for similar words.

p.s. Iam using it on non english forum.

Hi

I´m very interested in this mod and installed it first locally and then on my webserver. Unfortunately it doesen´t work on both.

I have at both servers SMF 1.1 with approx. 2900 topic and 27000 posts.
DB is mysql. Server Version: 4.1.21-standard
the table type is MyISAM, and the collation is "latin1_swedish_ci" (I don´t know why - tried to convert it to UTF-8, but made problems with äöü and recent topic function did not work also)

I tried it with the standard theme (english) and with my adapted customized theme (english & german).

I was not quite sure if I have to switch before installing to the "fulltext search" and create an index (it´s a creation only on the "subject" i have seen). but then the index is created 2 times and the DB is quite large.

or

if I have to leave it on "no index", install the mod. during installation, an index on "subject" and "body" is created.

with both versions I have had no luck.
I was wondering, why for the standard fulltext search creates only an index on the "subject" but works with the body text as well!?

=> is there a way to test the query manually e.g. in phpmyadmin?

this mod seems really quite interesting, but if it doesn´t work....hmm

=> what can be the reason/problem?

thanks for infos and help,

Patxi

[Enc0der]

will it work on forums with the "Custom index" method ?

[Laibeus Lord]

will it work on forums with the "Custom index" method ?

Maybe not, coz when my other forum was setup to the other two options, the mod was looking for the full text index function, so I ended up with 2 indexes.  I decided to delete the one I'm not going to use in favor of the full-text index, since this is what the mod is looking for.

But then again I am not sure, that's just what I noticed.

[wudzzy]

great mod , i just install it on my forum , the installation is ok , but the mod doesn't works , is it possible to install it manually ?

p.s.
sorry for my english.

[L.G.S]

The mod probably will never show up then..

[mgaidia]

it will work automatically, you dont need to cofigure anything

[L.G.S]

Been just about a month for me, still nothing. Don't expect it to come if its going to take this long..

[wudzzy]

mod installed fine but it doesn't show related topics , what i should fix ? should i enable it from admin cp ?
