Similar Forums

At Admin Panel -> Settings -> Switches, you have an option labeled "similar forums". When activated, this displays (in the 'show topics in forum' template above the subforum list) a list of forums which resemble the one being viewed. The matches are generated by a MySQL fulltext title comparison, and the _forums table will have to be MyISAM or the MySQL version at least 5.6 to use InnoDB (don't worry, WSN defaults to MyISAM).

To display similar forums in other spots you can use this template code in any template area that's within the scope of a forum (this includes forum toplists):

<IF {CATNUMSIMILAR}>
<div id="similar">
{CATNUMSIMILAR} {LANG_DISPLAYLINKS_SIMILARCATS}:<br >

{CATNAV[0 <,> 0 <,> 1]} <IF {SWITCH_COUNTS} and not {CATACTASLINKBOOL}>({CATNUMLINKSFORMAT})</IF><br >

</div>
</IF>
