Anybody knows how to add similar threads plugin after first post?

[MadK]

I have tried the following:

<if condition="$post['postcount'] % $vboptions['maxposts'] == 1">

$similarthreads

</if> 

Result: The similar threads box disappears.

I have also tried this:

[...]

</if>

$similarthreads
<!-- end content table -->
$spacer_close
<!-- / end content table -->

[...] 

Result: The similar threads appears above the first post, obviously.



So my question is, does anybody knows how to make it so that the similar threads function can appear after every first post on every page?

Thanks people!

What if you try:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">

What if you try:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1"> 

Not working.

if you do this:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions["maxposts"] == 1">
<div style="padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #33; background: #ccc;">SIMILAR THREADS</div>
</if>

do you get the box?

If you do, cances are, the similar threads variable isn't available yet that early on in processing...

I think you need a modification for that as i tried the same for thread tags and that didnt work.

If you figure this out, please post it. I've been wanting to do this for so long and I ended up with the same thing you ended up with...nothing showing up.

Yeah, it's probably like i said.. not availble yet that early on in processing, since the similar threads gets called AFTER the thread is built.

I would do something like this--

put a spacer div in the content where you want it to show:

<div id="mysimilarthreadswrap" style="width: 100%; height: 150px;><table id="mysimilarthreads"></table></div>

Then, make a new client script that does something like

function populatesimthreads() {
document.getElementById("mysimilarthreads").innerHTML = document.getElementById("collapseobj_similarthreads").innerHTML;

document.getElementById("collapseobj_similarthreads").style.display = "none";

}

window.onload = populatesimthreads;

its a hack job at best...

Did anyone test ?

[jbartle]

I would try, I just don't know where to go with that information :(

[briansol]

put the top block in the template where you want them to show
and put the 2nd code block in the head include, or in a new script.js file, and link it from headinclude.

Not working for me...

Is there a simpler way of doing this?
