Question Suggestions before posting new topic

The JomSocial website uses Kunena as forum solution, and when you try to add new topic the system sometimes trows notification:

Take a look at these topic
Perhaps, some of these existing topic might help. Click the link below will open a new window. Have a look at them

I found what I am looking for It didn't help. Submit my topic

anyone has idea what are they using to have the suggestions when starting new topic?

I don't know anything about this. Have you posted this question to the JomSocial forum and what is their response?

That does sound like an interesting option, but I agree with sozzled that jomsocial is the place to ask.

But please let us know here if you find out.

Hello,

That is custom built plugin developed "in the house" for our own needs.
You dont get this feature with default Kunena installation.
You might be interested in posting this suggestion to Kunena devs to implement it if possible, or simply, hire a freelancer developer to get the same customization for your site as well.

Cheers

The way it's done, when you click post it calls modal box with search of top5 similar threads, list is done the way when you click on topic it takes you to new window (simple target=_blank) and it shows the two buttons, one to cancel new topic (it returns the users to previous page) and the other one to publish the post (the normal post button). So it doesn't seems complicated, but i'm not sure the normal search option would do the trick, on my forum i have thousands of topics and search querry takes some time so it's not suitable to be used in modal box... anyone has better idea?

The search logic is clearly the important factor. It probably needs to be limited to topic titles only to be practical.

As I suspected, the facility at the JomSocial forum is accomplished with a custom Joomla plugin. This idea would be useful in any technical self-help forum. I will mention this to the development team.
