Spell checker: PHPSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode

[tamarian]

PHPSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode

Intro: PHPSpell uses a MySQL based disctionary and requires no additional tools than your standard PHP/MySQL setup. One draw back to this hack is that while it works with vBulletin in WYSIWYG mode, the popup window will still display html and vBCode tags. But the advantages are numerous, such as the "learn" capability and the admin tool.

There is another hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?&threadid=65737 for PungoSpell that supports WYSIWYG mode disply on the spell check popup window. It has less features than PHPSpell, but it supports WYSIWYG display. Check it out, and compare which one is best for your forum.

Credit PHPSpell (http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/index.php) Was written for PHPBB, and then expanded to work for all major forum software, including vB2 and vB3. Due to vB3's WYSIWYG mode, PHPSpell only supports standard mode. This hack will allow it to work for both standard and WYSIWYG.

If you like this software, please click the PayPal button on the Author's site (http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/index.php), so they'll add more features. Their future plans so far include:

* PHPBB Template integration
* Other Languages (Currently supports English & Russian)
* Finish Language support so that hardcoded output is stored in language files
* Ability to delete Learned Words for the end user
* Ability for Admin to View/Edit/Delete words in installed dictionaries
* Ability for Admin to export Dictionaries
* Ability for end user to choose which Dictionary/Thesaurus Site to use
* Ability for end user to be able to change which Language to use
* Ability for end user to change # of words to find.
* Ability for Integrated Dictionary/Thesaurus
* Other Program Integration


Demo: http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/index.php

What this hack does This hack modifies the PHPSpell software package from PHPSpell (http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/index.php) to allow spell checking on vBulletin for both modes, WYSIWYG and standard mode.

Note: You will see tags like <br> and others in WYSIWYG and BBCode in standard mode. Edit the config file to ignore them. This happens in both WYSIWYG mode, and in standard mode. It will show the tags, but it will not spell check them. This hack does not add new features to the spell checker, it just makes it work, as designed, for vB3 in both WYSIWYG and standard mode.

Instructions

1. Download the attached file, and unpack into a new directory called "spelling" below your forum directory.

2. Edit the config file "spell_config.php" and enter your forum database username and password.

3. Find a dictionary and upload it to the "spelling" directory. A copy is provided in the zip file. PHPSpell's site has a couple of dictionaries for download: http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/download.php

4. Run "spell_admin.php" from your browser (URL/spelling/spell_admin.php) to create the dictionary datanbase table. When done, delete this file and the dictionary file.

5. You might want to modify the css files to have the look and feel of your forum and colours.

6. The rest is template edits for each template where you'd like to have the spell checker. For example:

newreply template

Find

</head>

Add above

<script language='javascript' src='spelling/spellmessage.js'></script>

Find the submit and preview buttons:

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />

Add below:
<if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2">
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>
</if>

And repeat the same steps for other templates like newthread etc.


Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add the first change here in above the </head section. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature.
editpost
Calendar Templates: calendar_edit
New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread
Modify User Options Templates: modifysignature (add the the first change in USERCP_SHELL)
Private Message Templates: pm_newpm (add the the first change in USERCP_SHELL)

I may have missed a few, so let me know.

7. If it doesn't work, run the file "spell_diags.php" from your browser, it will test your setup and report any problems.

Enjoy

Any screenshots?

There's a demo link posted, but here's a couple screenshots. Correction, I'm having difficulty uploading PNG shots, so I'll try to add them later. In the mean time, visit the official homepage for PHPSpell for an online demo.

[Boofo]

I was hoping to see how it looked integrated into vb. ;)

[msimplay]

can someone do a list of templates to insert this code into because newbies will not so easily be able to find the templates

ok i just did it so i'll do the above

showthread_quickreply
newthread
newreply
pm_newpm

[welo]

I have a meeting shortly so I'll be out of the loop for the rest of the afternoon. Will install it on my test board this evening though and post a few notes later. Cheers for this.

[tamarian]

I was hoping to see how it looked integrated into vb. ;)

PM me your email and you can post them for me :)

vB.org apparently won't let me uplaod them, as the upload hangs. Might be due to the size of the disctonary taking up all my space allowance....

However, the "integration" part will just show a "spell check" button, next to the "preview" button. The online demo listed will be identical, as it's a popup window.

[tamarian]

Great idea. I've listed them in step 6.

Thanks Tamarian :)

Big problem with the spellchecker

it seems to be picking up the html from the wyziwyg editor

[Acido]

Is not working OK in wysiwyg :(

The spellchecker add tags like : <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> to the text :(

[tamarian]

RE: HTML tags like <br>, add them in the config file to ignore.

Note, this happens in both WYSIWYG mode, and in standard mode. It will show the tags, but it will not spell check them.

This hack does not add new features to the spell checker, it just makes it work, as designed, for vB3 in both WYSIWYG and standard mode.

[msimplay]

hmm its not what i had expected then :S
anyone got the if condition to make it only work for standard editor then coz parsing html will only confuse users

i used



<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="window.open('http://www.spellcheck.net','spellchecker','statusbar=no,m enubar=no, toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=647, height=391'); return false;"/>
</if>


instead of


<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="window.open('http://www.spellcheck.net','spellchecker','statusbar=no,m enubar=no, toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=647, height=391'); return false;"/>
</if>

because i wanted to compensate for the lack html stripping from spellchecker
this way both parties get to use a spell checker
otherwise i was planning to remove the spell checker for wyziwyg editor users altogether

Does anyone have this working? I have yet to try it out, but by lookin at how small the word list size is I do not see how it could be to powerful.

[msimplay]

Does anyone have this working? I have yet to try it out, but by lookin at how small the word list size is I do not see how it could be to powerful. i have it working at my site
check it using test as username and password

it is quite powerful in respect of having a thesaurus aswell
and you can add ur own words to it
even though that kind of negates the reason to use the spell checker
oh well we can't win em all :P

ps if u visit my site use both the standard editor and the wyziwyg both spell checkers are different :)

[tamarian]

hmm its not what i had expected then :S

The conditional is already there :)

Just remove the "else" part:

<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>

[insanctus]

Looks cool I guess I will try it out later on my site.

<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>
thanks but i decided to change the spellchecker for wyziwyg instead of removing the option altogether

[insanctus]

Ok installed and works, thanks msimplay for the demo log in (it is what made me choose to use this)

Nice add in !

News: I will shortly release another spell checker hack, based on PungoSpell (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pungo-spell/) which will support standard and WYSIWYG modes, and displays WYSIWYG in the popup windows without the tags.

One draw back to PungoSpell, is that it will require you to have PSPELL compiled into PHP. Some have this by default, but some don't. Another draw back is the lack of the "learn" button.

I initially worked on it and had it tested, but decided to use PHPSpell for the added features. . But since I modified it already, I'll just clean it and release it, so those who prefer full WYSIWYG display can use it.

Stay tuned.

[tamarian]

PungoSpell hack is now available:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65737

It has a better WYSIWYG display, with no tags shown.

Enjoy.

[msimplay]

can i just say that all those using my test account for checking the spellchecker please restrict ur posting to the test forums :)

[Mont]

I added this hack to my forums, but cannot get it to ignore the <P </P tags even though I don't have html enabled on the forums, but did set it to true in the config file. TIA for any help

$Spell_Config['HTML_Tags'] = array('<a','</a','<p','<p','<P','</P','<img','</img','<b','</b','<center','</center','<i','</i','<u','</u','<list','</list','<font','</font');

[tamarian]

I don't have html enabled on the forums, but did set it to true in the config file.
Disable HTML in the config file. This should get rid of most of the tags, except <br>, which you can disable through the ignore option.

[Mont]

any advice on getting rid of the <P></P> tags?

Here is something to chew on. I tried to install the spell checker program, but in my error.log If get this message.

The config file is spell_config.php or something like that.

Not to a smart AS$ but if you look in the spell_config.php on line 197 it refers to ../config.php. Where is that file located. It does not live in the forums directory nor does it live in the root of my website.

config.php is part of vBulletin. So if you don't have it at the root of your forum directory, then your setup may not be what it should, or too customized....

Raptor: Did you install the original PHPSpell code from their site? That won't work... You need to download the hack files from the first post, as it contains the code changes to make it work for vBulletin in both editing modes.

The original code only works for standard mode, and it contains the config error you listed :)

[Ngreth Thergn]

I have installed this on two boards, using cut and paste.

For some reason, on one of my boards the spellcheck buttons will not apear, despite doing the same cut and paste.

the boards are http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq (spellcheck button apears) and http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq2 (spellcheck button will not apear)

Or am I missing an easy Vbulletin switch?

Double check your cut and paste.

The buttons are plain HTML. If they don't appear, then you have not updated the template correctly. I can't think of any other reason.

[Ngreth Thergn]

I did have a mistake... (the script tag was bellow head not above head) but it still does not work, even with clean fix. I do have Hack Traking Log on that board and not the other... I wonder if that is it...

Is this compatible with Firefox 0.9?

I have installed it, and it works marvellously with explorer, but the SpellCheck button doesn't open a new window on Firefox.

Yes, I do have popups enabled for the domain. :)

I'm using FireFox 0.9 with no problems...... Is JavaScript enables?

[romeshomey]

The only question I have is, in the showthread_quickreply I do not have a </head> tag

I do have a </thead> tag though, is that where I need to make the modification?

Is it possible to remove the Learn feature?

[TosaInu]

Hello tamarian,

Very useful, thanks for making this.

Would it be possible to make it an option for usergroups? Seems a more server intensive feature and I like to have some control over this when performance is hurt too much by this and other hacks.

[tamarian]

This can be easily done through template conditionals. Like surrounding the spellcheck button code with something like this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2">
.....spellcheck template code....
</if>

[apokphp]

My only concern with this, is that anyone could have the spellchecker "learn" any misspelling they want.

[dndog]

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2">
.....spellcheck template code....
</if>


How could you allow 2 or more usergroups to the conditional?

Thanks.

[tamarian]

How could you allow 2 or more usergroups to the conditional?

Thanks. <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 26">

And just keep adding AND.... for additional groups.

[TosaInu]

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 26">

And just keep adding AND.... for additional groups.
Thanks Tamarian,

That is or for different users, right? And only allows users who belong to both groups at the same time?

My preference would be to use another user setting for this (no need to make huge if and or statements). For example right to post polls. Or perhaps an extra custom switch in membergroups, solely used to unlock special candy.

Well, I do not have the necessary requirements to make this hack work. I would love to have the PHPSpell just not show the html coding at all and not spellcheck it either.

Yes, it should be OR not AND. I'll correct my post :)

The hack could be extended further to set permissions in the admin panel, but it would require PHP code changes. The way it is right, only template changes are required.

[Rich]

Hello,
There is obviously a way to remove the "learn" button so members can't use it. My question is,where is it located? If we can remove the learn button,our problems are solved. I only want my admins to be able to add words to the dictionary opposed to members. Exactly how would I do this,and still leave the availability of use with the members?

[the wiz]

Awesome hack, but is there a way I can make this for certain user groups only?

Learn Button issue requires that you modify:
spellmessage.js
spelling.js

spellmessage.js Line 63 Opens the included file: phpSpell.html
Suggested workarounds: Use conditionals to pass additional information to the function openspell Have this handed off to the next script spelling.js

spelling.js Line 448 inserts the infamous "Learn" button. Determine whether you would like to have it shown based on the argument passed through from spellmessage.js.

An alternate would be to create a vB template instead of using an external html file... ;)

[neroflorida]

HTML issue in wysiwyg mode:

Sugggestion to fix...

In spellcheck.php;

function Scan_Document (Lines 273 - 326): Pass arguments lcased or if using following suggestion, use eregi

function Clean_Document (Lines 356 - 397): Use Regular Expressions instead of strpos to allow for attributes in elements (i.e. <p margin="x">) - even better yet just ignore anything between "<" and {">", "/>"}

So is there I can make this only for certain usergoups?

Very nice. Tweaked the phpSpell window to remove Learn (at my managers' request) and changed the "All" buttons to "Correct All" and "Ignore All" and so had to also increase their width and the table's width. Also removed "Suggest" since I was never able to get anything meaningful out of it.

Clicked install. I thank you, and my users thank you. (Well, my users aren't actually thanking you, but they would if they could. :rolleyes: )

Thx,
D.

PS...In IE, the gap between the Preview button and the Spellcheck button is wider than the gap between the Submit button and the Preview button. (See attached image.). This extra gap is caused by: <input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" /> To get the two gaps the same I added this between the Submit button and the Preview button: <input type="hidden" name="foobar" value="null" />
Odd that IE would adjust the display for a hidden object. Firefox and Opera do not do this.

FWIW,
D.

Please see my diagnotics.

Methinks your directory path is set incorrectly. Grab the attached file and upload it to the directory where your files are, then point your browser to it (yoursite.com/forum/spelling/dirpath.php) and see what it says.

[speedracer68]

Thanks! Here is what is says

Hmm. Have you uncommented line 37 of spell_config.php? It must say:

$Spell_Config['DB_Type'] = 'vBulletin';
(with no preceding //)


Also uncertain why your spell_config.php file has 197 lines. I only see 170.

[dsmcd01]

I was playing around this weekend, trying to get the Learn button to appear only for specific users.

It was easy enough to get the userid to the openspell function in spellmessage.js by adding $bbuserinfo[userid] to the template code, but I can't seem to get the userid from there to spelling.js where it'd do some good.

No big deal, and I understand I'm using the hack and phpSpell in a non-standard way. But, has anyone gotten this to work?

TIA,

Thanks!!

Rex, looks like you got it working? I'm still stuck. Any chance you might have an idea what I have done wrong?

Thanks!

Running v3.0.3 and getting this error when clicking on SPELLCHECK:

"phpSpell only supports one of the following browsers: Operat 6+, Netscape 6+, Mozilla 1+, Internet Explorer 4+, Safari"

My workstation is Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. Any ideas why I'm getting this message? I even did a complete fresh install of vBulletin and phpSpell.

Thanks!

Paste the contents of your newreply template into a text file and upload it here. I'll take a look.

Hi,

I have uploaded the spellchecker files, installed it on my server, but I cannot not see the spellchecker when I go to place a new thread etc, I am running VB 3.0.3 I have placed the altered code in the correct places in some of the templates, but the first on this thread doesn't really match exactly.

On the newreply template there are two lots of the following code:

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />

Do you place this after each of them?

<if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2">
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>
</if>

Also, some of the other templates do not have </head> in the code, where do you place this line of code instead?

<script language='javascript' src='spelling/spellmessage.js'></script>

Thanks in advance,

taffy

[welo]

Sorry for the delay. Not sure why I wasn't notified of your reply (unless I just deleted it by accident).

I don't see anything wrong with your newreply template, although try removing the first DOTOOLBAR statement. You don't need it there anyway since it won't work for preview. That's basically the only thing different between your template and mine (as far as the spellchecker stuff goes anyway) and it works fine for me.

Taffy:

AS INFO...I never got an answer!...so...I started searching...and hooked up with http://www.spellchecker.net They made there system work for me...you do have to pay for there service...but it works GREAT!!!

Kirk

[welo]

Sorry you guys are having problems but there's really nothing to tell you. I've installed this on three boards and had no issue whatsoever, so I can only assume you installed it incorrectly. If you'd rather pay for a service that does exactly the same thing rather than figure out what you did wrong, fine. Just quit trying to blame people for not helping you when they have no way to.

[taffy056]

Welo,

Thank you for your very unhelpful reply, I asked for help to fix the situation not for you to tell me I have done something wrong, obviously I have made an error but I like to fix things myself, so I ask questions. I am not blaming people for not helping, I am just waiting for the right person to reply, obviously you are not that person so take your negativity elsewhere.

taffy

[welo]

Welo, Thank you for your very unhelpful reply... etc.
In the first place, my reply was not necessarily targetting you. Since you went there however, exactly how much help did you expect to get when your basic problem is "It doesn't work and I don't know why"? The atmosphere around here is very DIY, so unless you give us more to go on there isn't a prayer of resolving your issue.

Sorry you're having the trouble you are, but I've already looked at volcain's code in his newreply template and that isn't the problem, and you are having exactly the same issue. Him jumping on here and basically saying this hack (that someone put together out of the goodness of their heart, costs nothing, and works for everyone else) is crap because he can't get it to work, isn't exactly helping your case.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Good luck.

[taffy056]

Yes I am sorry I am having problems also, but I am new at this, so the solutions I find here and implement myself means that I learn something that I did not know before, I have given all the info I can in my previous posts (80 & 83), so unless someone asks for something more specific that maybe I am unaware of, how can I post it here?

I am not saying it does not work, I just would like to learn enough so I can get it to work myself (with help from here of course:)), I know I will get it to work eventually, but I would rather sooner than later.

My apologies for snapping like that on my last post.

taffy

[taffy056]

Hi,

Just managed to install this hack (thank heavens), it all works apart from 2 things I can't seem to get it to work with PMs, I have added the code in USERCP_SHELL, am I missing something here? Also, when you do the spell check on words they do not change the words in the post. Actually I am not sure if it is supposed to do that?

taffy

[taffy056]

The above only happens in wysiwyg, not in the standard editor

[attroll]

I went to msimplay's web site and tested this and was not to impressed. I typed a small message and then clicked on SPELL CHECK. I expected the document to be copied over into the spell check area. I did not realize that you were going to have to cut and past it into the spell checker. If I am going to have to do this why not just do the same thing using a word processor?

thats what i did to compensate for the fact that phpspell seems to show the html when searching use the standard toolbar and u will see what phpspell is like

on my site wyziwyg and standard toolbar users get two different versions of the spell checker until i can find a way for spell checking to work with wyziwyg editor correctly

although it has already been discussed in earlier posts

Thank you for the clarification. I would really like to install this hack. But I have a lot of users and it would confuse some users with html coding being put in the spell checker. So I will hold off until this can be fixed, if it ever does.

bump...

I was playing around this weekend, trying to get the Learn button to appear only for specific users.

It was easy enough to get the userid to the openspell function in spellmessage.js by adding $bbuserinfo[userid] to the template code, but I can't seem to get the userid from there to spelling.js where it'd do some good.

No big deal, and I understand I'm using the hack and phpSpell in a non-standard way. But, has anyone gotten this to work?

TIA,
D.
Just curious. Any suggestions?
:)

[Lionel]

Wondering... looks like the spellchecker is stripping all the texts when sending emails out to subscribers. I kept on getting a bunch of emails no subject no message when someone was replying to a post, I removed the spellchecker and situation corrected.

Same thing here! Any ideas guys?
Thanks! great hack

[BigCheeze]

Sweet. Installed and running. Thanks!

[cinq]

Learn Button issue requires that you modify:
spellmessage.js
spelling.js

spellmessage.js Line 63 Opens the included file: phpSpell.html
Suggested workarounds: Use conditionals to pass additional information to the function openspell Have this handed off to the next script spelling.js

spelling.js Line 448 inserts the infamous "Learn" button. Determine whether you would like to have it shown based on the argument passed through from spellmessage.js.

An alternate would be to create a vB template instead of using an external html file... ;)

Any step by step instructions for this to remove the Learn ( and perhaps suggest ) feature as well to make this perfect ?

[JohnBee]

I installed this hack, it works okay but is there any solution to the <P> and </P>
tags yet?

There are two spelling hacks for vB 3 thus far, one has a tag issue and the other
requires a php module many don't have :(

I'm hoping someone could get this one to ignore <tags> so I could call it a day

[cinq]

any help (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=582629&postcount=104) here ? :)

[agiacosa]

Is there any way to limit spell checker to a specific usergroup?

Thanks.

[tamarian]

In this example, usergroups 2 and 26 can see the spell button:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 26">
<if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2">
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>
</if>

[agiacosa]

Thank you, but where does that code go?

[T3MEDIA]

Question... for me I HAVE to have WYSIWYG mode on or I get a javascript error and the poor thing never pops up. BUT if its in WYSIWYG mode all is well... whats up with that? obviouslly I made a error. but where and howcome it fixes itself with this change?!?

[Coyote75]

i understand filling in db info but confuised at it as well can someone walk me thru it ?

[Morgalis]

Not sure what I am missing to get the full colour changed in the 4 .css files

What am I missing to get rid of the blue?

[PolyMarauder]

lol ok laugh at me Im a confused Noob. ;)

Im actaully trying to install phpspell and I can't figure out something so since you all have it installed I am sure someone can help me out.

in the instructions is says to Change the Spell_Config["DB_Type"] to "vBulletin"

So should it look like this?
$db = mysql_pconnect($vBulletin['DB_Host'], $vBulletin['DB_Username'], $vBulletin['DB_Password']);

A voice in my head says no... :nervous:

When using WYSIWYG mode in vB3 3.0.5, it shows you the html code and tries to spell check it. Is there any way to get it to ignore code?

[Paul M]

When using WYSIWYG mode in vB3 3.0.5, it shows you the html code and tries to spell check it. Is there any way to get it to ignore code?You mean like it says in the first line of the hack description .....
Intro: PHPSpell uses a MySQL based disctionary and requires no additional tools than your standard PHP/MySQL setup. One draw back to this hack is that while it works with vBulletin in WYSIWYG mode, the popup window will still display html and vBCode tags. But the advantages are numerous, such as the "learn" capability and the admin tool.

[Spinball]

Not sure what I am missing to get the full colour changed in the 4 .css files

[Greebo]

I'm also trying to get this to remove the html tags like P and EM and the like in the wysiwyg editor and having no luck.

Has anyone got a WYSIWYG solution to this somewhere we can tap into?

I'd love to integrate this hack - Pungo isn't an option (no pspell on my host) so its this or...well or I dunno what - but I can't have these tags showing. :(

I would appreciate if you could share with us your progress on this issue. I have no Java programming experience, so I am at a total loss trying to alter those .js scripts, and I would like to have the learn button appear for a certain usergroup. Unfortunatelly, I have no idea how to pass the $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] to the js files.

Any idea would be really appreciated.

[sv1cec]

Bump,

Has anyone done anything with the Learn button? I need that feature because there are some very specific words than are usually ... used in our Forums and which are missing from the dictionary, but I can't leave the feature open to all users.

Any help would be appreciated.

[lefthome]

I would like to install this hack. Currently I am using vb 3.06 and will upgrade to vb3.07 this weekend. Does this hack work in vb3.07?

It does, if you do not mind the known problems. I can live with the tags issue, but I had to totally remove the Learn button, since no one seems to have any idea on how to disable it for certain usergroups only.

[DeMiNe0]

Hi,

I have tried numerous times to get this working, and its just not working, what am I doing wrong?

taffy

in these templates there are 2 places for the submit and preview button. Put the Spell check button ONLY AFTER THE FIRST 1.

that will fix it.

[TosaInu]

I'm running this with 3.07 now, but same for 3.03. SpellCheck works with WYSIWYG but fails to paste the corrected text like it does with the normal display.

[gregsbaby64]

Thanks for this great hack! I just installed it on my 3.0.7 board. I had to disable the WYSIWYG display and it works perfectly in the normal and advanced display. :)

Thanks for the link Lionel, I'm gonna install it right now! :D

It works great for me in all editors. You just have to define the html tags to ignore in config.

This hack is great but I am having one problem -- the learn feature doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any tips on what might cause it to not function? It just "forgets" learned words. Thanks. --c

I assume this hack is quite intense on the server, right? So it wouldn't be good for a larger board?

Just making sure.

[tamarian]

This hack is great but I am having one problem -- the learn feature doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any tips on what might cause it to not function? It just "forgets" learned words. Thanks. --c

The "Learn" function is a bit tricky. It does not add learned words to the dictionary table, it adds a user's own learned words to their cookies. So when the words are "forgotten", it's either due to the user clearing their cookies, or disabling cookies.

[tamarian]

I assume this hack is quite intense on the server, right? So it wouldn't be good for a larger board?

Just making sure.

I'm not sure. The disctionary is about 10 megs, but well indexed and uses soundex.

Anyone running it on a forum with hundreds online, over at least 1 million posts?

Maybe you have some privacy/ad blocking tool that blocks your browser agent?

[tamarian]

It does, if you do not mind the known problems. I can live with the tags issue, but I had to totally remove the Learn button, since no one seems to have any idea on how to disable it for certain usergroups only.

If the concern is with someone flooding the dictionary with bogus words, you shouldn't worry about that. The "learn" function simply adds those words to the user's own cookies, not the database.

[Aeolian_X]

This is an awesome tool. I love it, and most of my members love it.

The only problem I'm having with it is the Quick Reply does not work when using an IE browser. This does work fine when using Netscape or Firefox. All other templates seem to work fine in IE as well. Just Quick Reply is having a problem. It doesn't seem to do anything when you click on the button. I've checked all of my settings, and turned off all pop up and ad blockers, but still no luck. Any ideas?

What sort of template changes do you use to run it in quick reply? Paste them here so I can try them out. And does IE fail in both standard and WYSIWYG modes?

For those of you who wanted a better WYSIWYG spell checker, you might want to check vB Spell, which still uses MySQL, but has better support for browsers and WYSIWYG look without the tags:

How do I add different languages?

Specifically French.

Install the French disctionary: http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/download.php

[King Kovifor]

Yeah but the ACP installtion doesn't recognize it, and it needs a spell_French.php file.

I haven't used or looked at this hack for a long while. If the instructions at phpSpell site don't work, let me know and I'll take a look.

[King Kovifor]

OK I Figured out why, my hack needs some editing... :P And Doesn't int need a spell_french.php just like it has a spell_english.php?

Not sure, but I don't think so. The language specific files are for languages requiring specific string processing. Give the French word list a try and see how it goes.

Installed and it's noticing mistakes.... that aren't mistakes.

Also, I'm planning on porting over all my hacks... and if this one isn't done by the time I do it, I'm going to take it on (no rush, I'm willing and get bored easily, so it's something to do) and than finish my hacks.

Like what?

[King Kovifor]

This:

Ce qui vous signifient... Catégorie de C? Nous allons par l'année 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. C'est comment nous des amercians le faisons.

That's correct... and it found 5 mispellings.

Make sure your dictionary table has the correct charset encoding.

[King Kovifor]

How?

[tamarian]

How?

Easiest way is the phpMyAdmin, through table operations -> collations. Or through the MySQL command line, can't remember the syntax, but it should be in the only mysql manual.

[King Kovifor]

I don't have access to any of that... << Can you send me detailed instructions for commTRU?

[bada_bing]

I have had this spell check working for months now and all the sudden when anyone click the spell check button it launches another page like normal but a blank white page. I now have paying members yelling because it's not working can someone please help me figure this out :tired:

[vexiphne]

I have configured my spell_config.php file, and uploaded it, but I still get this error :

You need to fill in the Database Information in the Spelling Configuration File

I use vb 3.5.1

This is for vB 3.0. For 3.5, you might want to try vB Spell.

[thewitt]

To get this to work with 3.5 you need to edit the spell_config.php file to use vB 3.5 style variables for the database specific items like username, password and database name.

There are more templates to edit however, including editpost and showthread - and probably others.
