.Ian Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Very nice :) However would it be possible for the similar topics to be below the fast reply box. I would get complaints if people had to scroll even further for the quick reply ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I thought about it. But user can collapse this tab if he doesn't need it. If it will be under Fast Reply then i think it won't be good. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Craven Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've been waiting for this major Kudos DawPi, I agree though similar topics would be better after the fast reply, I was only using Icelabs SEO script for this alone and it works out better after the shoutbox for my 'already confused' members :lol: - How would we go about editing this to have it after?

DawPi Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I will think about setting for this. :) [ + ] In 1.0.1 version. Edited January 12, 2010 by DawPi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Is it advisable to use this mod on shared hosting? Does it uses to much queries? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well, i think additional 2 on topic view.. But you must check it.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhana Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well, i think additional 2 on topic view.. But you must check it.. :) Would it increase the load on the server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Every mod which grab data from database increase load.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Just one more question. If I enable this mod for only one category on our fourms then it will increase the SQL query for the topics present in that category only right? So, say suppose when I click on category and it has 100 topic and takes 100 queries to display. Will this take like 200 queries? Trying to figure out how and when it will increase the load. Basically I am planning to enable this mod in our help section of forums. Thanks for answering my questions. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Wohoo. :D :D No no, this load will increase when you open TOPIC not CATEGORY. :D AlexJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvisionHQ Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I agree nice mod! I want inform u that "Same Forum" search settings dont work. thx for your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll4ever Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 nice mod. I think IPB in general using way too many queries. noticed if you set memberData for fetchSearchableForumIds, it adds yet another query. if you leave it null, it doesn't. idk whats up with that. isn't there a way to grab the topic title/description from somewhere else instead of another query? with all the stuff ipb does before it gets to your hook, it has to be there somewhere. again, great mod. just need to remove some of the excess stuff.

AtariAge Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Glad to see this, thanks! Had such a mod on my 2.x forum, but my 3.x forum has been without. I also would like to see placement of the hook below the Quick Reply box. :) ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Wers Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Good hook :) Does it respect forum permissions? If generated similar topics are generated only from categories where members have access (not from staff categories etc.). I think yes, yes?

Olivier Turbis Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Crap I can't get this to work Dawpi. Any skin changes we have to do? Won't display on Skinbox.Never mind :D haven't selected groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAge Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Crap I can't get this to work Dawpi. Any skin changes we have to do? Won't display on Skinbox. I'm glad you brought this up, as I have not been able to get this to work at all. It installs fine, I have recached everything, it appears I have the appropriate template "if" statements in the skin, I have it enabled in the ACP, but it does not show up. Would love to get this working. :) ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
