At last check, it's a feature.  It may be disabled on some forums, but it's a implemented.

yep, found it. It was disabled on my board. But it says "This can have an effect on performance.". Hopefully this mod for smf wont do so, exept for the better

Being it sifts through the database searching for related topics, it will.

Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list
Ficheiro: /home/cmspt/public_html/smf/Sources/Display.php
Linha: 184

After this, in portuguese (because my board is in portuguese), it tells me that I'm using smf 1.0.5 buf the database is in version 1.0.2... Not possible, because I found out about SMF a few months ago, I never used anything else besides 1.0.5.

I've applied only the changes manually on SMF 1.0.5 and Aqua Soft ported theme, double checked (never did understand that "search after" thingy, so I tried after and before ), the changes on Display.Template.php give no errors, only the ones on Display.php.

On line 184 I have this (part of the mod):

Code Select Expand

$related = db_query("SELECT *, MATCH (ms.subject,ms.body) AGAINST ('{$mssub}') As Score  FROM {$db_prefix}messages As ms WHERE MATCH (ms.subject,ms.body) AGAINST ('{$mssub}') ORDER BY Score DESC LIMIT 0,10",__FILE__,__LINE__); //

This is a great mod, even if it slows the forum a bit.

PS: I should say I'm using the Global Announcement mod, don't know if that has any influence...

[Ivan Minic]

I posted the idea for this.
And Niko made it really neat 

[Tony Reid]

Great mod - Im looking forward to adding it

It would be nice to be able to limit it to specific boards as well.

Ive got that error  - and so decided to redownload the display.template.php file from simplemachines ... and I still get the error with it... Ive attached it.

Also I guess this needs full text indexing on - which I have... but I would just like to warn other members considering this - if its needed then it could double your forum db size! Well worth it though

[Ivan Minic]

Just please make it for 1.0.5 since it is the last stable version and much of us still use it.

[Harelin]

[Klauser]

Hi,

I added this mod manual in 1.1.beta3 and it´s working fine, but this script is not using the board permissions, so anyone could see all topics  from hidden boards, where they are not members. Any plans in the future to exclude such postings ?

Thx and Regards

[gh0stw4lk3r]

i also get a test failed on the display template. i use 1.1 beta3 default theme
