I have installed this mod and I am using it with version 3.8.1 with no problems at all. Here is how I got it working:
- Install the original script from the first post in this thread.
- Go to Admin > vBulletin Options > Messaging Posting and Editing Options > Check for similar threads?. Set this to YES.
- Go to Admin > VBulletin Options > Message Searching Options > Search Engine Enabled. Set this to YES.
- Go to Admin > VBulletin Options > Message Searching Options > Automatic Similar Thread Search. Set this to YES.
- If you have used a version of jquery other than 1.2.6, you will need to make a change to the mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header template within ALL styles installed on your forum. jQuery is now up to version 1.3.x so this change will apply to almost everyone. Please refer below for the specific changes.
I downloaded the latest version of jQuery before installing this mod, which was version 1.3.2. However, the mod was originally written to use jQuery version 1.2.6. This meant I needed to change the following code in the template called
mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header.
Original code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
Code you need to use:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
After making this one tiny change, it all worked perfectly.
