Similar Topics in New Topic Creation |
This code allows the users to see a list of similar topics while they are writing the title. It is ideal for support forums in which almost all answers are already solved. Here's an example of how it looks like: Everyone can adapt the code according to his/her forum. It can also be possible to adapt the code to any other version, although this would be up to the user, and this adaptation is not supported. By default the code works for phpBB3 InstallationACP(Admin Control Panel) > Modules > HTML & JAVASCRIPT > Javascript codes management > Javascript codes management Position: All pages
Now add this CSS code to your forum
At the beginning of the code there are several lines between brackets in the const settings definition. This is where you will be able to add several configuration lines (the lines that are already in the code are ones by default I have added). Next I will add a bit of a documentation to know what settings can you add. DocumentationHere are all the settings you can add to the script. Please note all the options have the same format:
That means if you wanna add several options, the beginning of the script should look (more or less) like this:
WARNING: To add an option with its default value it's the same as not to add it. The options are the following:
Default value:
searchInThe forum or category where the search will be done. To identify which forum or category will be done, an ID will be used which is added after a "c" for categories or a "f" for forums (between quote marks). For example, to search in the category with id 3, it would be:
There are special values: Value by default:
maxTopicsNumber of topics what will show. The minimum value is 3: Example:
Value by default:
autocompleteDefault value: Turn on or off the autocomplete of the field of the title (the suggestions of the browser). That is, to put the attribute autocomplete of the element input to on or off You can use the value "true" to be on, or "false" to not be. Example:
Default value:
wordMinLengthA minimum number of characters of a word to be taken into account in the search. Please note that because of the Forumotions limitations, it isn't possible to put less than 3. The value is a full number that can be between 4 to the maximum numbers of characters allowed by Forumotion. Example:
Default value:
There also exists options for advanced users. To use them it is neccesary to have JS and HTML knowledge.
