There is upgrade read me in the zip file and all need was fix few problems and added the lang in the mod_install xml file but not alot changed from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5 just fixed few issues that found that it.

[Doppelgaenger]

alright. I have a suggestion to this modification. I dont know whether it was fixed in 1.0.5.

The suggested feature is TO NOT INCLUDE the topics in the "similar topics" field which are IN THE IPBs trash bin.

I have a trash can set up in the IPB, and there are LOTS of topics, and quite often similar topics mod links to those topics which are in the trashbin. I think you get my idea, right?

[civgroup]

I took a look at the code and it appears to check for similar topics in forums only where the viewer has access.  So only those who have access to your trashcan should be seeing topics from it.  I suppose that could still spoil the experience for you and your mods, but that should be it.

is this working with IPB 2.3.6 ? - I ran the installer did the file edits, and uploaded everything and then re cached my skin templates.. even after the installer was supposed to rebuild them - but still don't see this new section at the bottom of any topics :/

It should work but must look this also added list do.

It works for me (and very well), but how do I decide the max number of topic links to show?

I have one complaint that really bothers me, though. It's bulky looking. I just want maybe a box that says similar topics with links, not all that information and category like bar. Any help with that?

It should do can't see why not.

[LahoriMunda]

Great.. i was looking for that. But thats a great version and also easy way..

[LahoriMunda]

I have a question that how i can enable or disable this mod. And its not showing properly in whole forum.

Any help

[Pete T]

Its alway enabled there is no setting turn on or off.

[tdsii]

this mod is nice, but lacks too many options!!!
at least how i can disable some forums as, i have a trash forum for example that shouldn't be searched.

+ the similar topics are not similar at all, not even near.

I'v seen this panel in a lot of sites, is this the only one around?

Running IPB 2.2.2 - I ran the installer did the file edits, and uploaded everything and then re cached my skin templates.. even after the installer was supposed to rebuild them - but still don't see this new section at the bottom of any topics

[Jura]

[Dec]
