vB Spell

[Tabasco]

So which version is best to use with 3.6.4?

Regular Install:

* Unzip dictionary-reg.zip.
* Upload DICTIONARY.DIC to your forum home directory.

or

Alternate Install

* Unzip dictionary-alt.zip.
* Import the SQL files to your database.

Has the XML template or the MySQL issue been fixed? or do I need to follow change instructions?

Thanks

[HAVOK USA]

Installed without problems - set permissions - the icon shows in the post box, when I press it, nothing happens (no pop up box)

I have pop ups cleared for the website. Any ideas? I's love to use this hack.

[NeoGTavern]

Okay I go it installed and it is catching misspelled words, however it will offer no suggestions. When I click on the "suggestions" box I get the error

Line: 397
Char: 1
Error: Object does not support this property or method
Code:0

I am using vB 3.6.4

The regular install is much easier. Only use the alternate if the regular fails.

As of today (version 0.10.2b), the XML file has not been updated.

Before you attempt to install this product, you should open the product-spellvb.xml file and...

find:
// Create vB Spell Table
$db->query_write("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vbspell (
word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY word (word),
KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM");

// Remove Old vB Spell Table
$db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell");

and replace with:
// Remove Old vB Spell Table
$db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell");

// Create vB Spell Table
$db->query_write("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vbspell (
word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY word (word),
KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM");

Otherwise it will drop the vbspell table right after it creates it, before importing the dictionary!

[Big Kahuna]

I had everything set up and was one click away from installing product -- and then read all of this.

I've got very cold feet now and won't do it.

I have MKPortal, Photopostphp, Photopost Classifieds, and a large forum. I can't afford the problems.

That said -- what irritates me is that Vbulletin doesn't have a spell check integrated in the product. I have one Vbulletin board at www.moparstyle.com and two FREE SMF forums at www.oldhippie.com and www.forums.diamondbackengines.com -- and amazingly, the free forums have a INCLUDED spell check that you can either use or disable. I've paid five years of dues at vBulletin after buying a perpetual license and don't have that benefit.

I'd spell check this post -- but there isn't one installed here lol

[Ski-Whiz]

Is it me, but in the product you tell it to create "vbspell" tables, and you next tell it to remove the old "vbspell" tables?

// Create vB Spell Table
$db->query_write("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vbspell (
word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY word (word),
KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM");
// Remove Old vB Spell Table
$db->query_write("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell");


They are the same tables. I was wondering why I first got an error saying this table was already there.. So I removed it. Then when it installed, it never created it. Also the alternate way didn't install for me either at the time, as those SQL files insert data into the table it removed.

Not a biggie. I have it working now. Just a heads up. :D

[Ski-Whiz]

^^^^^^Never mind, I see this was already notice..

[Goat Boy]

Sure,

Go to Plugin Manager in your admin control panel and edit the plugin 'vB Spell Template Changes'.

Add the following line at the very top before anything else:

if ( VB3_INTEGRATION != "on" ) {

and the following after the very last line:

}

Because the VB3_INTEGRATION variable should be defined when the WYSIWIG editor is being called from photopost, it'll fail that condition and the code to include the spell check won't be called.

You won't get spell check in the gallery, but you can still use it in the forums without messing up the gallery.

Works for me anyway ;)

I did this mod and Photopost Reply works but in the forums I get a Pop Up message about ieSpell is a spell checking tool for Internet Explorer and gives me a link to download it now?


Any Idea how to overcome that?

ROFL, i don't know who made this error, whether it was me or cynix2. What it was meant to do, was removed the old table, then create the new one, instead it went opposite!

[B3y0nd]

This is a mod that I would love to have on my boards, but it STILL seems to have major issues. Too bad. :(

I'll keep checkin' in from time to time to see if it ever becomes a reliable hack.

Can someone help me PLEASE.. .Author where are you man?

[bada_bing]

Boy for this to be a 3.6.0 hack the support sucks!!! Can someone assist on getting around the errors im having

[bada_bing]

Never mind got it working.. For anyone else having problems running the plugin, I would right off the bat import the dictonary queries manually then run the plugin. VERY IMPORTANT & NOT DOCUMENTED. If you manually run the database queries you MUST remove the DOCTONARY file you originally uploaded to the Forums directory so that the plugin does not detect this file and try to run the queries again..

[lazserus]

I've followed the instructions and installed this mod but I am not seeing a vBSpell option in my AdminCP, nor does it show on my forums.


I've imported the xml file using vBulletin's "Add Products" option.
I've uploaded the vbspell files.
I've uploaded the DICTIONARY.DIC file


I received no errors when importing this mod, yet it does not show anywhere on my forums. Any suggestions?

[Knightmane]

I am a little leery to install this hack, but I wanted to mention that Mozilla Seamonkey Suite version 1.1 has a built in spell checking dictionary that checks your spelling as you type in posting fields. You can even add words to the browser's dictionary... this is very handy for getting around words that are used in TV shows that simply do not appear in the dictionary (i.e. zords, etc.)

[melbo]

Otherwise it will drop the vbspell table right after it creates it, before importing the dictionary!

That should be bumped to the first post in this thread. After a few pages, we new installers try all the junk that is reccomended post by post. Was just about to toss this laptop out the sunroof when I read this one. THanks!!!

[parabat]

Is it at all possible to select your language of choice, dictionary you want to spell check with?
My board has multiple languages and it would be ideal if the users could select the dictionary of choice when they doing the spell check.
Is that possible, or do I have to integrate the various language dictionaries into one??

Cool plugin, thanks.


The problem I ran into is that, under my vBulletin 3.6.5 installation, it stalled when I tried to Import the Product .xml file. Does this require doing that hack on it first or what?

Please let me know before I make another attempt.

Peace,

[valdet]

I think that alt install should be safer, because regular install may cause timeouts during product import..

But I would like to be sure before i Install this.

Is it OK to run the SQL queries, and then import the product, so the product will already have the necessary tables set?

Thanks.

[SloppyGoat]

Ok, I give up. Maybe better instructions are in order? It tells me there is no vbspell table. I guess I'm supposed to know how to create it and the number of fields? Not everyone knows how to create tables and import SQL files, and it sure didn't work the "regular" way. In fact, I don't think it did anything. I'm hoping it didn't now.

After modifying the xml file, I tried this again. The last thing it says is "Processing: 54249... (28%)", then the horizontal scroll just keeps growing for eternity. I'm not sure it's even doing anything. However, it did appear to create the table this time.

[edit] I managed to get it installed, and added the quick_edit changes, but in either edit mode it does not offer any suggestions, ever. What's wrong? Sure the box pops up, but it never has any suggestions, no matter how badly you misspell.

How would I change the grey color in this, without messing with all my other settings?

[mbkerk]

Install goes well until I try to import "product-spellvb.xml" from my computer. I did edit the HTML code as specified in post 267 ... but when it is importing I get up to between 66% and 69% (many attempts) and the install just stalls... no messages what so ever.

Please advise.

So when one types some profane word and the dictionary database doesn't recognize it, what it to stop a malicious user from jamming full the dictionary database with all sorts of undesirable words?

Works fine on Apple's Safari by the way.

This mod corrupts PhotoPost Pro integrated into vB by making it so that users cannot reply or comment on photos in the Photopost Gallery.

I turned it off and the ability to reply and comment with the integrated PhotoPost Pro gallery reappears.

I have it working with 3.6.7 PL1 right now. I had to modify the product-spellvb.xml file as mentioned elsewhere to keep it from dropping the vbspell table after creating it. After that, it works like a charm.

My guess is that you both failed to modify the product-spellvb.xml file as mentioned in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1171094&postcount=267). The new table gets created and then the old table gets dropped. Unfortunately, if the new table and old table are named the same thing (because of the was the install script works) you end up deleting the vbspell table right after you create it.

This mod seems to be a bit problematic on vBulletin 3.5.4. In particular, the install stops at about 97%. In order to fix this, you have to edit the following line in the product-spellvb.xml file:


<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

change to this:

<plugin active="1">


(vB 3.5 has no idea of 'executionorder' for plugins)

Even with this change, it doesn't show up in the advanced editor, only the quick editor and the edit post editor (and you have to make a template mod for the quick editor). To get it into the advanced post editor, you have to edit the 'editor_toolbar_on' template, and make the change mentioned in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1050042&postcount=386).

First of all., if your using 3.5.x you should get this from HERE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92202) and not from the 3.6.x mod forum. Pretty stupid to expect 3.6.x mods to work on 3.5.x board.

Same here. When I re-import the XML it stops at 98% then I get a database error.

[cynix2]

for all those who get stuck at 98% or something like that

it is clearly stated in the instructions that if you have problems with the regular install use the alternate install

photopost issues:
photopost might use it's own editor templates (it shouldnt, but it might) in which case the mod is not told to edit those templates, if this is the case i might release a separate plugin for photopost compatibility specifically however i dont have a copy of photopost to test on anymore

i might recommend undoing any template changes you made manually and uninstalling the hack entirely before installing the new version

Install using the alternative method, you will need phpmyadmin access, and be able to import sql files in your database. The reason it stops after so long is because your website host only allows a specific number of queries at one time. It's your host's fault, not this mod's.

This works with Safari, but regardless of the browser, it interferes with integrated PhotoPost pro insofar as it completely removes the ability for any Gallery replies within the integrated PhotoPost Pro.

don't know if this is too late. i had the same problem after upgrading to the latest version of vbspell today. apparently, it's an error in the templates. if you actually check the source code for the page "newreply.php", you would notice that the form action calls for "/vbspell.php", which is wrong.

i checked the coding under plugin manager, and found that "$vboptions[bburl]" didnt work for me. i just removed it, and changed it to "/community/vbspell.php". by the way, that error has to be corrected twice. once for "vbspell.js", and another for "vbspell.php".

Now I do not get the error message anymore, but when the vbspell pop up comes up, I am first asked to log in within that screen (the first time I try it, afterwards it doesn't ask for it again... I believe it is a problem with the chestnut style being not compatible with this version of vbulletin), and then I get a "vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster."

My problem is that when importing the XML file, my browser 'stops' at 50-60%.
I tried importing it with:

IE7
FireFox
Opera
Safari
via upload & import from ./includes/xmlThis was my problem with the 3.5 version as well.

As far as the SQL, I imported each of the 10 SQL segments to my DB.

I'm just stuck on this XML.

Can anyone help?? :(

[Poppet]

don't know if this is too late. i had the same problem after upgrading to the latest version of vbspell today. apparently, it's an error in the templates. if you actually check the source code for the page "newreply.php", you would notice that the form action calls for "/vbspell.php", which is wrong.

i checked the coding under plugin manager, and found that "$vboptions[bburl]" didnt work for me. i just removed it, and changed it to "/community/vbspell.php". by the way, that error has to be corrected twice. once for "vbspell.js", and another for "vbspell.php".

Thank you JirQUEST :up:

[FireFish]

Install using the alternative method, you will need phpmyadmin access, and be able to import sql files in your database. The reason it stops after so long is because your website host only allows a specific number of queries at one time. It's your host's fault, not this mod's.
This is the problem I'm having; my XML import dies at 60%.
But aren't the 10 manual SQL files a replacement to dictionary.dic? Are you saying that if I ran the 10 SQL queries (manual install) that I don't need to import the XML into my Products?

How will my board be setup to administrate this feature then?

Please advise.

When installing, do not upload the DICTIONARY.DOC at all, just import the product, then run the sql files in phpmyadmin and you will be set.

[FireFish]

Thanks Replicators; that worked.

Next struggle: After installing & configuring, I noticed that the Spell Check icon is only on my Quick Reply postbit, not full postbit.

Even on the QuickReply, it doesn't do anything when clicked.

[Gareth-AWD]

JirQUEST, thank you so much for your help! This is a step in the right direction. Now I do not get the error message anymore, but when the vbspell pop up comes up, I am first asked to log in within that screen (the first time I try it, afterwards it doesn't ask for it again... I believe it is a problem with the chestnut style being not compatible with this version of vbulletin), and then I get a "vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster." Has anyone experienced this problem?

And JirQUEST, is there anythign I need to do to the newreply.php page? I did a find on it, and could not find /vbspell.php anywhere on it... is this needed? Thanks agian. :)

I have the exact same problem. When the new window appears, it says there was an installation problem.

[Yellow-06-GT]

Help,

I followed the install as shown. I never see any import of the dictionary as others have taked about freezing. The icon is on the editor screen in vbulletin and the vspell option is in my admin setup, but clicking the spell check icon does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Note: I'm a rookie, take it easy on me :)

Thanks,

Bob

[Gareth-AWD]

Any information, i'm still getting the problem?

[Serafim]

I am stuck on this install. I am using vb3.6.4 I have all the populated tables in my database I have imported the product file and the icon appears To be in my template problem is nothing happens when you click the spell check icon. I do recieve an error at the bottom of the page. I am viewing through IE

[ericgtr]

Installed but disabled until the popunder issue is resolved. It's a great mod but it's ruined when people don't realize the window is opened up in the background.

[jeriddian]

Hi, relative newbie here. I've installed this mod into my database directly adding the ten alternate SQL files directly into the SQL database through MYPHPADMIN software. They went thorugh just fine and successfully loaded. I then added the mod as per adminCP. I can see the vBspell option now in the vBulletin options and can alter them and save them as should be expected. It seems to have loaded into the vBulletin software just fine. Yet when I try and click on the icon, nothing happens. If I am using IE7, all I get is a small "error on page" message on the footbar in the lower left corner. This is the same problem Serafim described above. I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Using version 3.6.8. So if the issue is the popunder, has anyone addressed this yet then?

Jeriddian

[tidefans]

I have this installed in 3.6.8. It works on all pages except it does not work in quick reply, quick edit, and in the new project tools.

I have checked the html source code of these and the vbspell code looks exactly like that on showthread, etc.

I've made the changes suggested earlier in this thread (i.e. changing from "$vbforum[url]" to /forums/vbspell.php, etc) but nothing happens when i click the icon on the quickreply, quickedit, and project pages.

Thanks for any new suggestions anyone might have.

Same problem here.

Ive instaled this fine uploaded both folders and imported xml, the button shows but when I click it nothing happens ??? And the status bar reads error on page after clicking it??

I am running ver vB 3.6.8 and this mod wasn't working until I made your change.

Thanks!

My forums are under the /forums subdirectory so I made the link "/forums/sbspell.js" and "/forums/vbspell.php" by editing the templates under the plugin manager.

It seems to be working great now :up:

[buyinflatables]

I also get the icons.. but they do nothing when clicked.

JirQuest... can you please go through the process, step by step of what ever changes to make that will get this working for all of us who are having promblems on 3.6.8?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Yeah I am getting the same problem with vb 3.6.7PL1 and 3.6.8

The problem only appears to be under Internet Explorer. Under firefox the spell checker appears to work correctly.

Maybe this might help in starting to track the problem down.

Regards

[Yellow-06-GT]

Not sure how, but my son got it working. Works great in VBulletin. However, it had disabled the comment option in PhotoPost.

Anyone else run into this and fond the fix for it>

Bob

[Hawaiian-TV]

"vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster." is the message I get in the top box whenever trying to use VBSpell. The server my copy of VBulletin is on is Apache Red Hat Linux. Not sure what other debugging data you'd need. I even added the postbit_quickedit code and saved it, but all that did was add the spell check button to the quick editor. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling VBSpell to no avail. I've tried this in both Firefox 2.0.0.6 and IE 6.0.2800 and it doesn't work in either browser.
I'm using VBSpell 10.3 .. which I notice in the Edit box for the product, says "3.5.0" for compatibility, even though your data here indicates it works with 3.6.x versions also.

[tidefans]

i checked the coding under plugin manager, and found that "$vboptions[bburl]" didnt work for me. i just removed it, and changed it to "/community/vbspell.php". by the way, that error has to be corrected twice. once for "vbspell.js", and another for "vbspell.php".

This worked for me. I actually had to change it in the vbspell template.

Thanks.

[Megatr0n]

Like someone already said. A fix is needed for this so it doesn't interfere with the PhotoPost comment option.

[daveman1000]

This worked for me. I actually had to change it in the vbspell template.

Thanks.

This worked for me as well... asfter spending 2 hours going through posts and trying to figure out what went wrong.

The instructions should state explicityly that users of the older versions should remove the old code from their templates.

The plugin should also be updated with the fix decribed above.

hey. sorry about getting back so late. i hardly visit these boards, so if anything that you need help with, email me.

steps:

1. admincp - plugins & products - plugin manager.
2. look for "vB Spell Template Changes".
3. click EDIT.
4. find "/vbspell.js". Change to "/forumsdirectory/vbspell.js".
5. do the same for "/vbspell.php".

it's right at the top. you can't miss it. i am also getting the problem with the "VBSpell installation problem" after changing webhosts. Will try and see how i can fix that.

Now the only problem I have is the window is a pop-under - it pops under the open browser window instead of in front. I used the fix from post 214:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1104129&postcount=214
but that is just a workaround since it initially pops under, then on top.

Where can I get dictionary brazilian portuguese for it?Here you go.

If anyone else wants any other language dictionaries, simply go to:

English (Australia) Dictionary
English (Canada) Dictionary

English (UK) Dictionary
English (USA) Dictionary
French Dictionary

[perfphysio]

mine has stopped working since 3.6.8. Is there a problem?

[Chy]

I've installed 3 times.. last time was a charm worked just fine for all of 10 minutes.. now getting this error any suggestions.. the vbspell.php file is in fact there on my server. Also running 3.6.8.

The requested URL /vbspell.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[gobears20]

Are any of you having trouble with Quick Reply? I have people saying they have Fire Fox and they say... 'After I post in a thread, I get stuck on a blank page and it stalls. I have to use the back button to get back to the forum.'

Any idea?

[triplemoons]

So is their a WORKING spell check for v3.6.8?
I've tried installing this and it doesn't work.

[ludachris]

Is there any way to modify this hack so that it utilizes a button that shows up next to the "Submit/Preview" and "Go Advanced" buttons? I think my users are not seeing the little graphic and I want to make it more prominent.

[ludachris]

Oh wait, I just tested it and now that I've upgraded to 3.6.8 it seems to be spitting out db errors:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:

Is this a known problem after upgrading?

[R@V3N]

works for me with 3.6.8

I take that back.. It worked with 1.0.2b but when I upgraded to 1.0.3b it died

[AtoZ]

never mind

[SBlueman]

Any word on if this mod still works?

[Doug Nelson]

We need a version for 3.6.8 . Preferably one with no template edits.

I'm running VBulletin 3.6.8 new install.

Ditto! Running on vB 3.6.8 w/vbPortal and I tried using the code stated but it didn't do anything?!?!

Anyone know how to stop the Spell Check windown from pop-ing up under the browser and to make it pop-up on top of all other windows???
Thanks!

[Chimpie]

Has anyone else had success on installing this for vB 3.6.8? I'd like to install it but I don't want to do any heavy editing.

[ludachris]

No luck. I haven't been able to get it to work and it seems like plenty of others running 3.6.8 can't either. Oh well, it was a nice hack while it worked.

[danando]

vBspell on 3.6.8 doesnt work for me, it installs fine, but when i go to use the spell checker, the window pops up and then this message appears: "vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster." Any ideas?

[valdet]

Mine is working perfectly well on vB 3.6.8 PL2. Mind that I had vBSpell installed since vB 3.6.2 and it hasn't stopped working after any upgrades.

Val.

[st.charles]

Just installed with success. Make sure you read this post before you start to give yourself a headache...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1336204&postcount=351

Also you'll need to read back on the threads. I didn't install the database, rather used the dictionary file upload. You have to change the variable in the files described in the post above:

1. admincp - plugins & products - plugin manager.
2. look for "vB Spell Template Changes".
3. click EDIT.
4. find "/vbspell.js". Change to "/forumsdirectory/vbspell.js".
5. do the same for "/vbspell.php".

Just reposted it. Then import the xml file and you should do fine. You MUST upload the dictionary text based file to the forum root (meaning if your forum is installed on http://yoursite.com/forums, then you have to put it in the forums folder. Etc. Read backwards or start from the beginning of this post and read the process.

[zendiver]

Check this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1086550&postcount=155)
Cured it for me
Same here...now just to fix the 'pop-under' issue. This problem is only existing with FireFox.

[zendiver]

The previous posted "work-around" didn't work for me:
<body class="wysiwyg" onLoad="assignSelf(); window.parent.startsp();" onBlur="window.focus()"; id="theBody">

I have however found a work around that works well. A little clunky but it works:

In the vbspell_iframe.php
FIND:

function assignSelf() {
window.parent.iFrameBody = window.document.getElementById("theBody");
}
REPLACE WITH:

function assignSelf() {
window.parent.iFrameBody = window.document.getElementById("theBody");
alert("Click OK to view your spelling results.");
}

In the alert box, put what ever text works best for you.

When the pop-up window first appears I am getting this:

[RWerksman]

Installed on 3.6.8 by doing this. :)
This correction *almost* made it work for me. There's an additional place that you have to put the forumdirectory in, but it's pretty self explanitory.

I still would prefer Googiespell if someone would make it work on VB, but this will sufice for now. :(

[danando]

im still having problems as my forum directory is in my home directory.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated as this is the only thing that my forum is lacking.

[inciarco]

I have upgraded my vbspell to the new version, but now I can no longer use it. When I click on the spell check button, nothing happens (except for a "error on the page" message on the bottom bar of explorer). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do I fix it? I am using 3.6.7. Thanks!

I'm Getting This Same Error on the Same Version (3.6.7 PL1) with the File "vBSpell 0.10.3b.zip" Version 0.10.3b!! :( :confused:

Is there a Way to Get the Previous Version that Was Working Fine?? :confused:

Looks Like The JavaScript (js) File Isn't Working Fine, the "Page Error" Received (on the Browser Status Bar) usually Indicates that, so You Should Check that File!! ;)

:)

[Eq4bits]

Bump!! :rolleyes:

Any Chance for the Author or Some User that has the Previous Version to Upload it here, Please?? :confused: ;)

Checking the Author's Profile, it seems that the Author hasn't accessed vB.org since September of 2007, so Could some Person Please Upload (Attach) the File to a Message in this Thread, Please!! ;)

Would be Nice to Test that Working Version!! :rolleyes:

My Best Regards!! :up:

:)

[Eq4bits]

I have the old one will attempt to attach to this post
I haven't tried going back to it tho, so don't know if that will work or not
would the other three files (vbspell.js, vbspell.php and vbspell_iframe.php) have to be overwritten as well?

[Eq4bits]

I reuploaded the older version js and php files as well as imported the old xml (overwrote all) and it works now.
attaching the 'old' js and php files to this post
urp, forum won't let me attach the js file
if anyone wants it pm me with your email addy and I'll be glad to send it to you that way

Guau!! Thank You Very Much Eq4bits!! :up::up::up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[inciarco]

Version 10.2b Works OK in vB 3.6.7 PL1!! :up:

Some Things to Consider:

1. When Installing the Product, the Information (Words) DICTIONARY.DIC file that comes with the Product is copied into some place in the Database (should be a Table created by the Mod), so the Percentage of Advance that is seen corresponds to the Upload of the Words into the Table.

2. When I Used the DICTIONARY.DIC in Spanish Downloaded in the Web Site specified in other Posts, (is neccesary to rename it to DICTIONARY, with extension .DIC, and to Uploaded to the Forum Root), the Words in Spanish (or in the Language you Download), are Added to the Existing Table in the Database, to the Resulting Dictionary is an English and Spanish Dictionary (Mixed).

3. If you want the Product Only to Work with a specific Language, you should use the File of the Language you want to Work with Initial Installation of the Mod, otherwise is neccesary to Uninstall and Reinstall the Product; I noticed that the Words Added to the Dictionary with the Button "Learn", (keep that Button Away from regular users), for some reason those Words weren't Deleted from the Original Installation, so I guess is another Table in the Database that wasn't uninstalled and Deleted.

Definitely doesn't Work in the Quick Reply, there should be something in the Code (Plugin) that is Wrong, because in the "editor_toolbar_on" (Reply in a Thread), the "showthread_quickreply" (Quick Reply), works Fine, but not with the "postbit_quickedit" (Quick Edit).

My Best Regards!! And Thanks Again to Eq4bits for sharing the Previous Version of this Mod!! ;)

:)

[inciarco]

Would be Great that a Addon can be Made to interact with this Mod in the Following way:

1. To List the Tabe of Words Installed with the DICTIONARY.DIC Files, as well as to see the Ones Stored in the Customized Words Table!!

2. To Add/Delete/Edit the Words Stored in Both Dictionary and Customized, Words.

Other Options to Manage those Tables in the Database.

This could add Functionallity and also Help Manage the Words; The Administrators/Moderatores are Blind (Cannot See) Every Change Made (Customized Words Added) to the Dictionary, and Cannot Modify those Words in case of Errors (Add a Word that is Wrong Spelled)!! ;)

I Hope Some Coder and/or the Developer of this Great Hack can Add this Functionality!! :rolleyes:

Also would be Great to Add the Quick Edit Use of this Mod!! :(

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[inciarco]

For anyone that would like the spell check button added, edit your newreply, and newthread templetes:

newreply
find:
<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="{$editorid}_save" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />

under it add this:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

newthread
find:

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="{$editorid}_save" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />

under this add:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

Best of all, no more hidding windows, it pops up as it should :D

To add the spell check button to the quick reply, simply search for this phrase in..

showthread templete find:
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" />


Below this add:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qrform', '$editorid', '2');" />

You now have a spell check button on quickreply that works as it should.

Hope that helps

To also add the spell check button to your go advanced options, edit your postbit_quickedit templete.

Find:
<input type="button" class="button" tabindex="1" accesskey="r" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" id="{$editorid}_adv" />

Below add:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

If you would like to have a spell check button for your users to use with their PMs, simply edit your pm_newpm templete.

Find:
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="r" name="preview" tabindex="1" />

Below this add:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

Now you and your users can check the spelling in your PM's

Very Useful Tips!! :up:

When I tried the Quick Edit, you have to be Careful because on Normal Mode (Not WYSIWYG), it Erases the Content of the Message, so is needed to Cancel the Edit; but when the WYSIWYG editor is On, the it works Fine!! ;) :rolleyes:

Playing around, I found a workaround for it popping under. In the vbspell_iframe.php file:

find this:
<body class="wysiwyg" onLoad="assignSelf(); window.parent.startsp();" id="theBody">

replace with:
<body class="wysiwyg" onLoad="assignSelf(); window.parent.startsp(); window.focus();" onblur="window.focus();" id="theBody">

It still pops under initially but then comes back to the top. Like I said, it's a workaround.

baze

I tried this but had to change back to the Original Version of the File, becasuse this Affects the Text Field where you can Change the Proposed Word to a Custom one; simply don't allow the Selection of that Text Field!! :(

My Best Regards!! ;)

One Perhaps Bug this Mod has, is that doesn't Check the Text Between the QUOTE BB Codes!! :( :confused:

I also noticed that with Large Texts with BB Codes the Spell don't Work!! :(

Perhaps the Mod has Limitations with certain BB Codes that causes the Mod Not to Detect the Words?? :confused:

Here you go.

If anyone else wants any other language dictionaries, simply go to:
http://www.aspnetspell.com/Downloads.aspxand download the dictionary of your choice, and rename the extension to all caps, (from .dic to .DIC). They have the following dictionaries available:
English (Australia) Dictionary
English (Canada) Dictionary
English (International) Dictionary
English (UK) Dictionary
English (USA) Dictionary
French Dictionary
German Dictionary
Italian Dictionary
Dutch Dictionary
Danish Dictionary
Swedish Dictionary
Portuguese Dictionary
Spanish Dictionary

Portuguese isn't the same as Brazilian Portuguese. Where can i find a Brazilian Portuguese dictionary?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think that's a bug, I would think that's intentional. Generally, when your quoting someone, your not correcting or otherwise modifying their comments. Imagine if it tried correcting every persons User Name in the quote tag.

I don't think that's a bug, I would think that's intentional. Generally, when your quoting someone, your not correcting or otherwise modifying their comments. Imagine if it tried correcting every persons User Name in the quote tag.

But the price is that is you Quote a Message inside your Post, you would'nt be able to Spell Check it; and I also verified that this Problem not only happens with the QUOTE BB Code, but with I think All the BB Codes; so imagine if you've set your Message with , , and all Tags, and when you check it appears that "Spell Check is Complete" without even checked all the Wrong Words in your Text; I think that the Option to Check or Not Check the BB Code Tags should be to the User; personally I'd prefer to Check ALL the Text inside the BB Code Tags, and if After me if I change or Not the Text Inside the QUOTES; besides, I Can Change that Text if I Want To, Cut It, Copy It, and Edit It, so is the Choice of the Person that Writes the Message if He/She Changes the Words inside the BB Code Tags!! :rolleyes:

I Think is a [B][U]Bug that the Coder and/or Coders that wish to Enhance this Mod, should take in Consideration for it to Work Better!! :confused: :(

Took me a while to realize about that Error, imagine a Simple Forumer that is Trying to Check Spell his/her Message and sees that the Text isn't being Checked; without doubt you now that those Forumers will be Dissapointed of this Application in your Community!! :confused: :rolleyes:

I felt dissapointed myself, and started using it, but after that I'm not using it, because I always write the BB Codes along with the Message; I let it Installed, but as Administrator of my Community I'm not using It; what can I spect from my Forumers?? (The answer is Easy, The Same)!! :rolleyes: :confused:

My Best Regards!! ;)

[Digital Jedi]

Just checked on my forum, and it isn't ignoring BBCode on mine. So that must be a bug on your end, and not the mod's.

Also, it's supposed to ignore Quote tags. Modifying someone else's comments in your quotes is generally considered bad manners or sarcasm, unless there's a specific reason. Your spell check should be ignoring the quotes.

I upgraded my forum to vB 3.6.8 Patch Level 2 and I upgraded to vB Spell 0.10.3 and this plug-in no longer works. I even tried uninstalling, erasing all the files and reinstalling everything - still doesn't work. The button displays fine, but nothing happens when I click the button (I am not blocking pop-ups).

Is anyone else having this problem?

[seg]

Very strange, I noticed when I click the spell check button the Font is automatically changed to Verdana, the size is automatically changed to 2 and the alignment is automatically changed to left alignment.

I found the old version 10.2.b in post #385 and installed the files. Spell check is now working as it used to (with the bug of the window popping behind the main window). The current version of this plug-in doesn't seem to work.

[Dorign]

When I edit someone's post and hit the spell check button, it asks me to get iespell. It works every where else. Hep meh~

[vcor]

With the import completed, and the vbspell options "Enable vB Spell for all but guests?" is set to YES. The spell check button appears in the advanced edit screen. When you click on it, nothing happens. In Firebug, you see the error occur "spellCheck is not defined" each time you click on the button. Any ideas?

I've confirmed the DICTIONARY.DIC, vbspell.js, vbspell.php and vbspell_iframe.php are on the server. MySQL has the table "vbspell" with about 193,000 records.

----- unrelated help for others -----
I had earlier problems with the Import, always returning the message:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

To fix the fatal error, edit the \PHP\php.ini on the server, and change the line:
maximum_execution_time from the default 30 to a larger value. I used 300, but it the operation completed in about 45 seconds so a value 60 or so may be fine.

Same thing happened with me. any clues?

I have just installed this on my 3.6.8 version of vb and when I click the spell check button it loads a blank page, why is this? Also how can I add the spell check button to more area like PM and so on?

[gtcompscientist]

I have just installed this on vB 3.6.8 PL2 and I have had to fix some stuff to make it work.

- I had to edit vbspell.php to point to the correct URL for the rest of the files.
- I am still working on a security error.

On the note of the security error, maybe somebody can help:
- I get the following error when the javascript tries to access the parent window to be able to change the text:
Uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDocument.getElementById
Anybody know why?

EDIT: The issue is the old "cross-domain" problem, as I originally suspected, but it is catching the presence or lack of the "www" at the beginning of the domain as a "cross-domain" request.

While I don't have vbspell working yet, was there a special reason you had to edit the URLs for vbspell? A quick look at the files on my system seem to have the right paths, with vbspell installed in the same directory as all the other forum files.

For example in vbspeall.php: include('global.php');

A path problem could be the source of my problems too, where it can't find the SpellCheck function located in the vbspell.js file. I can't find any reference to the vbspell.js file in all the forum files, but it might be something stored in one of the databases.

[aef3482]

I uploaded everything in the upload folder to /public_html and added the .xml product. When I try click the spell check button, the box pops up but it says vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster. Any suggestions?

[vcor]

For me, applying the patches to the vbspell templete didn't help or change anything for me. I tried many path variations and even tried fully qualified URLs (i.e. src="http://www.mysite.com/forums/vbspell.js" and similar mod for the later line for the .php file). It's obvious from the firebug error that it can't find the vbspell.js file, almost as if the template is ignored.

I got slightly better results by including in the common template "headinclude":
<script type="text/javascript" src="../forums/vbspell.js"></script>

Now when you click on the spell icon, a white box appears (pop under), but instead of the text of the reply message I get "No input file specified.". I'm not recommending this change for others, but it confirmed the vbspell template is being ignored or has other problems.

Guess I'll give this a rest - another few hours wasted :(

PS. Using VB 3.6.9 as the base system.

[bada_bing]

I have installed this mod but now when I click on the spell check button it opens another page that says "page cant be found" anyone having or had this issue and how do I fix this?

[Rich]

I am running 3.7 and didn't even upgrade this script except for my template edits and it is working exactly as designed. I don't know if I just lucked out, but perhaps those having issues should double check their edits and make sure they didn't miss a step.

[-=Leb=-]

What about me lol i'm running VB 3.7 and i', wondering if i can use the vB Spell on my forum, or do i need to wait for a new update?

[Chadi]

Can someone figure out how to fix this W3 error?

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkjesus.com%2F

I'm using the latest vbspell on VB 3.7

[DavidWilson]

I had all the same issues; window not popping up in IE; popped up in FF with a 404 page not found...

In IE it caused a 'spell_formname' javascript error "is null or object not defined".

I followed the instructions very carefully to no avail; this modification needs some tweaking I think.

Cheers,

David

[lierduh]

After upgraded to 3.7.1, I have found with the quickedit template. It needs to be changed to:

spellCheck('4', '$editorid', '2');

Original hack mentioned

spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');

[Chadi]

I do not know what's going on, but I just noticed that inline moderation is not working (tested in FF3 and IE7) when this hack is enabled.

It does not highlight the post when checked, nor does anything happen when you select an option from the drop down (moderation menu).

How can I even tell if the automatic template edits were done right?

[Kiint]

Anyone planning a version of this for 3.7.2+ or know of any others that I could use?

[seg]

I think I may have figured out part of the problem. The vBulletin software doesn't seem to be recognizing the $vboptions[bburl] in the product-spellvb.xml file that is uploaded. Those who have their forum as a base directory experience no problem because the path to the .js and .php files have a / - but if you have the forum in a directory, then the code is looking for the files in your base directory and not your forum directory. There are four locations in the XML file that use $vboptions[bburl] - all you need to do is remove the $vboptions[bburl] and either add the full URL path to your forum or remove the / so that only the filename is displayed.

That fixes all the pop-up and 404 issues, but I am experiencing one more problem. In my install vB Spell only works in the standard editor mode and not the WYSIWYG editor mode. The window will pop-up in the WYSIWYG editor mode, but misspelled word are not recognized by th checker. If anyone has any thoughts on this please let me know.

Thanks!

[glowinggal]

anyone know if this is working for 3.8.* or if there is one for 3.8.*?

[PGAmerica]

I 2nd that request for a 3.8x version.

[PGAmerica]

I just found this.

It is news, but still no guarantee of 3.8 compatibility.
