Re: Fancy Similar Topics

  • In lang files for each language exists array $stop_list_fancy_simtopics with stop words - words that exclude from subject before search. (Maybe add '[Release]' for this forum?)

  • Need testing for query speed - extension may or not may cause load on db. On my big forum (200 000 posts) with optimized DB ext not add load.

Yes good idea...
like this?
[code=php]
$stop_list_fancy_simtopics = array(
    '[Release]',
);
[/code]

even though in some cases there may be several extensions/releases that would interest the reader of the topic...

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

KeyDog, yes - like this. I think without [Release] relevance will be better, but need test.

I forget, each user in profile may disable Similar Topics list.

@Slavok:  let us know if you notice any load issues

@dimkalinux:  Is it possible to set so that guests also see similiar topics?

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

KeyDog, no problem. In next version will do.

Version 0.6

  • options for enable similar topics for guests - default off

  • per forum stopwords list (read the lang files)

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

really awesome!

Nice!

Btw: I noticed today, if someone writes "facebook" in the 'PunBB 1.3 extensions" forum it doesn't show the threads in 'PunBB feature requests' (for example) .... so I wonder if it would be a good idea to have the similar topics shown for the WHOLE PunBB site?   OR
as there is a lot of space to the right of similar topics in forum, to have rest of website similar topics on right hand side ....

Just something that might be useful....

Thanks again for your effort / sharing !

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

KeyDog, just uncheck options "Search only in current forum"

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

Style standard Oxygen?
Can you disable some ext? maybe it cause errors?

Can u give me link for this forum?

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

Thanks Dimka,
You can see my viewtopic here:
http://www.eroyton.co.uk/forum/viewtopi … 78#p183578

I've disabled the "easy upload image" extension, or whatever it is called as it seemed to occupy the same space. I'm going to try and disable quick reply now and see if that helps

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

The conflict seems to be with quick reply
I notice there is no quick reply on the official punbb forum... has that been changed to accommodate the Fancy Similar Topics extension?

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

Quick reply ext? Give me a link for it.

Or standard quick reply form? it work normal on this forum too...

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

Oops, ah yes quick reply is activated on this forum, I didn't spot it earlier sorry.
Yes I just meant the standard quick reply form.
That seems to be causing a conflict on my forum

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

Not sure whether this is some problem with my forum settings or what... but this extension does not seem to work unless the users are logged in.

Any clarification on this would be appreciated.

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

Not working for logged users or not working for guest?

Default simtopics for guest disabled - u can turn it on in settings.

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

I have configured all the relevant settings and this feature is still not working for guests  sad

Edit: could it be some conflict with another extension?

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Hello,
I have not tested this extension, but I install it tonight, I will give my feedback if nobody did it wink

I don't speak English, but Google Translate is doing pretty good.

Re: Fancy Similar Topics

other people must have this problem but they probably don't notice it because they're always logged in
