Modify Simliar Threads Table

[Guest]

Hi all

I wish to modify my Simliar Threads Table so that ONLY the Thread Titles show in a comma seperated list.

There is no function to do this. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

Ok, will do. Thanks.

Sorted this out myself. For anyone else wanting the same this is how;
Replace all code is showthread_similarthreads with below;

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
 <tr>
  <td class="tcat" width="100%" colspan="5">
   <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('similarthreads')"><img id="collapseimg_similarthreads" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_similarthreads].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
   $vbphrase[similar_threads]<a name="similarthreads"></a> For: $thread[title]
  </td>
 </tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_similarthreads" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_similarthreads]">
</tr>
$similarthreadbits
</tbody>
</table>
<br /> 

Replace all code is showthread_similarthreadbit with below;

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]"><span class="smallfont"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$simthread[threadid]" title="$simthread[preview]">$simthread[title]</a></span></td> 

This results in a 5 column X 1 row table showing only Thread Title with links.

Is that what I see at the top of thread in your forum? If so, it is a quick way to get answers since most people do not bother scrolling to bottom of thread. Now, to choose what is shown in Simular Threads would be a nice addition to it.

Yep, I figured the same as you, that is, most users wont scroll. Our forum is also right on top of Thread Titles being meaningful. As such I have skewed the vBullentin search heavliy toward Thread Titles.

I also have also had great success using Google Custom search for the forum.
