View Full Version : vB Spell :: Spell Checker in WYSIWYG and Standard Modes

There's also a vB 3.5 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92202

What this does: vB Spell allows you to install a dictionary (English dictionary included) into your MysQL database, and provide a spell checking window that works in both of vB's editor modes, standard and WYSIWYG.

Background: Many of you liked PungoSpell, but didn't like recompiling PHP for it. Many liked PHPSpell, but didn't like the lack of WYSIWYG support and browser compatibility. vB Spell solved both problems, I hope, by combining the best of each.

Features:
o Supports most recent versions of browsers. Tested on IE, Firefox, Mozilla/Netsacpe, Opera and Konqueror (Konqueror implies Safari, but please confirm Mac folks)
o Learn Feature uses cookies, so it won't increase the database size
o Admin panel options
o Skips quoted text and other tags (PHP, code, etc.)
o Usergroup permisisons
o Template based interface, and uses your default style.
o Link buttons (Thesarus and Lookup) with links to Merriam Webster's online thesarus and dictionary links with the suggestion for misspelled words.

Installation:
1. Download vbspell.zip and upload the files and run vbspell_install.php
2. Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vB Spell and edit your usergroup permisisons.
3. For each template where you would like to add a vB Spell, do the following edits (Example: editpost, newreply, newthread, etc.)

Note: For those running PHP in cgi mode and get timeouts while installing the dictionary, you can download the file dictionary_sql_for_php_cgi.zip to import it to mysql through the mysql command line.

A. Find:
</head>
Add before:
<script src="vbspell.js"></script>

B. Find: (or anywhere in the body)
$navbar
Add after:
<form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow" action="vbspell.php">
<input type="hidden" name="spell_formname" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="spell_fieldname" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="">
</form>

C. Find the submit and preview buttons:
<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[save_changes]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_changes]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />
Add below:
<if condition="$show['wysiwyg']">
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', 'WYSIWYG_HTML', '2');">
<else />
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', 'message', '1');">
</if>

Other templates:

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add the first change (A) 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: add the the first change (A) in USERCP_SHELL) and the rest (B and C) in modifysignature

Quick reply: . Put change (A) in showthread, above </head>. Then add change B to the beginning of showthread_quickreply. Then find
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="this.form.clickedelm.value = this.value" />
Add after it:
<if condition="$WYSIWYG == 2">
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', 'WYSIWYG_HTML', '2');">
<else />
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', 'message', '1');">
</if>

History:

December 25, 2005: Security fix for cases where you allow HTML posts and they contain malicious code (Credit goes to Brendan Donahue for finding the issue and alerting TechGuy, and to TechGuy for alerting me to it)

November 2nd. 2005: Fixed a bug with slashes in text.

Oct 17, 2005: v0.9.5 Cecks for primnary and secondary group permission. Also fixed quoted words.

July 10, 2005: v0.9.4 Added an error if accessing vB Spell directly, like from who's online page.

July 10, 2005: v0.9.3 Fixed a problem with capitalized first letter of words, so chosing a suggested alternative would not alter capitalization.

July 10, 2005: v0.9.2 Fixed a browser bug, fixed an installer issue effecting some, and fixed handling of some special characters.

July 9, 2005: v0.9.1 Learned words in cookies are no longer case sensitive. Abbreviations are ignored and not spell checked.

July 8, 2005. initial release, v0.9

Is this better to use than Pungo-spell?

I think so. No need to recompile PHP and install aspell, or rely on the server's config and system call, etc..

WOW! This is the best system for spell check I have ever seen. Thank you very much! :)

Is there anyway you could put the above posted template edits in a text file so I can store it in case?

Replace ENGINE=MyISAM with TYPE=MyISAM, or re-upload vbspell_install.php from the zip file. I think ENGINE keyword is for newer MySQL versions.

Check the vB Options > vB Spell in the AdminCP. You can click yes to allow all but guests to use it, or explicitly list usergroup ids allowed to use it.

I think it's related to the failed step4 you had. I recommend running uninstall, then re-install from the beginning.

I like this spell checker. Couple things. The installer didn't put prefix for vbspell table. I had to ad vb_vbspell via phpmyadmin. After that the install worked fine.

Is it normal for no misspelled word to open and close right away? Only way the pop-up window stays open is if there is a misspelled word. This happens with both firefox and IE.

Last how would I add a Spell Check on the quick reply? I figured it out for all but that.

Thanks for the nice mod.

Ah, I always forgot about those with table prefix :) Fixed and uploaded in the zip file.

Yes, that's how PungoSpell (vB Spell's ancestor) worked. It basically finds nothing to spell check or suggest, so it closes.

Last how would I add a Spell Check on the quick reply? I figured it out for all but that.

Not sure, as I haven't installed it in QR. Check the PungoSpell thread, I think someone posted about it.

Have you re-uploaded the installer from the new zip file, and started from scratch after a re-install?

Do you have safemode on?

For quick reply just add the stuff up top to the SHOWTHREAD template. And then add the button code to the showthread_quickreply template.

You don't have to remove anything, just replace the template edits. Once it's running and you're happy with it, you can then uninstall PHPSpell.

Hi,

Thanks very much for this - its a great addition. :)

I have one question. Is there a way to change the background colour of the spellchecker popup to plain white?

Regards,

I have one question. Is there a way to change the background colour of the spellchecker popup to plain white?

Yes. It currently uses your wysiwyg css class. So you can either edit the wysiwyg class from vB's class editor, or, if you just want to change the background for the spelling window, then edit vbspell_iframe.php

Find:
<body class="wysiwyg" onLoad="assignSelf(); window.parent.startsp();" id="theBody">
And replace the class with another, or replace it with bgcolor="white"

This is on for the framed box in the window. The rest of the spelling window can be modified in the vbspell template.

To upgrade, just upload vbspell.php and vbspell.js from the zip file.

One little problem I have. The spell checker shows up on whos online. Now when I click on it I get the message about it being installed wrong. How can I fix this as I know some will click on it? Its no big deal at all if it cant.

What would be better is if it redirected them back to whos online so it would seem like nothing happened but a refresh.

Sure. Put this code in vbspell_iframe.php

Find:

include('global.php');

Place after:

if (strpos(REFERRER, "vbspell") === false) {
$url = REFERRER;
eval(print_standard_redirect("vB Spell cannot be accessed directly", 0));
}

for the calendar edit your need to find;

value="$vbphrase[save_event]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="reset" class="button" value="$vbphrase[reset_fields]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />

then place your code under that for the spell check button

Ok I have run into a couple of problems. I dont know if its the main code or the added code you gave me but I have had two reports so far with the following:

"Corrie,
The insert link button isn't doiong anything for me, and the submit reply takes me to the spell check. What'sup?

"

I logged in under one member and didnt have the problem, but now that im getting it from two I decided to remove the code you gave me. I will let you know if I continue to get the error.

It's at the top of the showthread template.

Does it work elsewhere, like in editpost, new reply, new thread, etc. ?

I don't think it's due to the size, as I have tested with very large posts. Could you PM me an example of a post that would cause this?

tamarian

07-20-2005, 12:07 AM

I forgot to mention, the last problem reported turned out to be due to ad/popup blocking by Norton Internet Security :)

What was wrong before?

tamarian

07-25-2005, 10:27 PM

What was wrong before?

Nothing wrong, it was just vague. After a couple of PM's, I decided to re-write that section to make it easier. Test it in quick reply in standard and WYSIWYG, if it works, then you're o.k.

I've installed it and it installed perfectly.

One question though, how do I modify the permissions so that all usergroups can use the spell check? Where would I go to modify them?

Well I had your phpspell installed (created last year) and now I'm trying to upgrade to this one, it won't work....the window won't pop-up, its like it doesn't know what to pop-up. I've made all the edits, please help

Do you have any ad blocke or firewall software, like Norton etc. Disable them temporarily to see if that's causing it.

Sounds like a style issue. Are you updating the master style, or using a style other than the one you edited?

Using the main the style

Using the main the style

O.k. so you will need to start over and carefully apply the changes. Something was applied wrong, otherwise the HTML code for the button should show.

Ok here's the odd thing, I had the phpSpell installed, and the button showed then, but when I reverted to the org. and then applied these changes, I get nothing.

These things always happen, where we think we applied the changes correctly, but something was missed or done wrong :) If the template does not show the button, then the changes were either not done, or done to the wrong template, or done to the wrong style.

For some reason this isn't working for me (imagine that)

I've been using phpBB up until recently and I never had any problems, so I'm relatively sure I installed everything correctly. I did have one glitch during the install where in the install scipt it calls for the admincp, but I've renamed mine, so I edited the install script to reflect my changes, and everythign went smoothly after that.

Everything works, except the actual spell checking! The window pops up, everything appears in the new window, but it says "Spell checking complete."

Any ideas?

It does seem to skip over words that are not spelled correctly sometimes..... It should prompt to at least learn it but gives the ok instead. It is above my standards and im not looking for perfection as any spell check is more then deserved... :)

LOL, I think the "problem" is that some misspelled words are still correct, in the sense that there are other uncommon words thet I've never heard of maching that spelling in the dictionary.

But you can test it by entering a bogus word like "hhhhhhhh", and it will stop at it, and let you either type in a replacement, or click learn to add it.

Dax IX

07-29-2005, 03:46 AM

1. The obvious question is, were there any misspelled words? :)

2. Was the dictionary installed successfully?

3. Have you tried it with more than one browser?

1. Yes, there were misspelled words ;)

2. Yes, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it again and that went fine.

3. I've only checked it in IE. Let me check Firefox...Nope. Not working in Firefox either. :(

Are you running PHP as cgi or Apache module? Are you on a shared hosting plan? If you have phpMyAdmin, how many records are there in the table "vbspell"?

I got it to install, and it is active on all of the parts of the styles I added it too, but for some reason some VERY simple words are coming up as misspelled when they are not. And when I choose to "learn" said words, it does not learn them. Any ideas?

It depends on the words, if they are not in the dictionary, and not in the common vB words set (like the, them, is) they will show up as misspelled.

Seems like you installed most of the dictionary before it timed out :)

Test the template edits and see if it works, just to make sure it functions properly, as I'm not familiar with running PHP in cgi mode.

If it works properly, then you just need to try to get the dictionary re-installed without missing words. You can try to re-run step #5 (install dictionary), but try it at a time when the server is not busy.. This may let it complete before timing out. If that doesn't work, I can email you a mysql dump of the dictionary so you can just install it from the command line.

For those running PHP in cgi mode and get timeouts while installing the dictionary, you can download the file dictionary_sql_for_php_cgi.zip to import it to mysql through the command line.

one more stupid question please... and i apologize i dont know the coding part much at all...

but say i tell the system to learn the word 'chekc' accidentally...

nect time i spell chekc it allows it... is there a way for me to edit the list of learned words??? so i can remove chekc as a valid word??

again sorry if this is too simple a question...

thanks

The learned words are stored in a cookie. You can either clear your cookies to reset the learned words, or look for that specific cookie in your cookies directory, it's called "vbspell_words".

thanks Tamarian, i installed it on a small test forum i have and had a few problems... (due to me not knowing what i'm doing) thanks for the guidance..

I just installed it on my actual forum and it went super clean.

LOL, i know why tamarian needed to develop spell check so badly.. FYI for those who have installed.. 'thesaurus' is spelled wrong on the Button that was developed... ;)

thanks for showing me how to fix that too!!

Great HACK!! very helpful.

one more question.. im new to doing hacks.. in general, do you install all the files to the admincp folder or just the install files?

i installed just the install file to the admincp folder.. but during install it was looking for the dictionary file.. so i put that in the admincp folder too...

in general.. when doing hacks..
do you usually put the files to the root or to the admincp folder???

tamarian

08-11-2005, 12:03 PM

LOL, i know why tamarian needed to develop spell check so badly.. FYI for those who have installed.. 'thesaurus' is spelled wrong on the Button that was developed... ;)

But I spelled the rest of the buttons correctly, I think :) The buttons HTML code in in the vbspell template, for those who want to edit it.

one more question.. im new to doing hacks.. in general, do you install all the files to the admincp folder or just the install files?

What I do is organize the zip file contents in a way that makes it easier to know which goes where. Depending on what compression software you use, the zip file will contain a "forum" directory, files under it go to the main forum directory, and another directory called "admincp", and the content of that directory goes into the admincp.

Interesting behavior here --

If I put the code in a replacement variable (vbspell_check_html) and use the replacement variable, I get two buttons.

If I just paste the code as is into newreply, it works just fine.

Very interesting.

I uploaded the files, and did the template edits, however when I go to spellcheck a post the window pops up with the word highlighted in red, but no options for replacement, no nothing, just blank boxes where that stuff should be. If I hit replace it replaces it with nothing, naturally. I made sure that teh files were upped properly, and re-checked the edits and sm only able to get a pop-up window with nothing in the lower boxes. I can post a screenshot if you like.

I am tetsing the spelll fucntion and I hopp it works" and it found no suggestions for changes. If it can't fix that then the spell check is pretty useless.

Every spell checker has words it can't find suggestion for. That's just the way they work.

However, tesst should have worked and found test.

Is it okay to share my revised vbspell template? In addition to fixing the spelling error for Thesaurus, I made some other modifications. I found a way to add a description for what each button does when the user mouses over it. The description shows up in the status bar.

For example, here is the code for the "Change All" button:<input type="button" class="button" name="changeall" value="Change All" onClick="replaceAll()" ONMOUSEOVER="window.status='Change all instances of this word.';return true;" ONMOUSEOUT="window.status='';return true;">

When the user mouses over it, the status bar text says "Change all instances of this word."

P.S. Great mod! :)

This seems to be a limit set by your host on the number of queries your forum can run per hour. If this is a shared account, you'll probably need the host to install it for you, or adjust the limit.

The error message clearly indicates that there is a limit. If your host does not have a limit, then someone by mistake may have setup MySQL. Check your mysql settings and user priviliges. If this error happens again, send a copy of the error to your host, so they can see the 50,000 limit.

Tamarian, I got a response from my hosting company and this what they had to say:
The database you are using is asking too many questions within one hour (50,000). If you have the .sql file and the database created, please provide the database name and location of the .sql file and we can manaully import it for you on the server.

With the install that you have provided, there wasn't a .sql file BUT there was an additional file: dictionary.sql that I downloaded also. Is this the one that I should send to them? If so, I am a bit concerned with the format as it doesn't have the prefix on it:
Example:
REPLACE INTO `vbspell` VALUES ('a', 'A');
Shouldn't that be:
REPLACE INTO `vb3_vbspell` VALUES ('a', 'A');

And lastly, if they import it in, then what do I do about the rest of the installation as it seems that I can't get past Step 5?

Thanks for your time.

No, the first post states that file is for those in cgi mode, or those who want to import it without the install script.

The installation script comes with a dictionary text file IDCTIONARY.DIC

If so, I am a bit concerned with the format as it doesn't have the prefix on it:
Example:
REPLACE INTO `vbspell` VALUES ('a', 'A');
Shouldn't that be:
REPLACE INTO `vb3_vbspell` VALUES ('a', 'A');

The installation script does handle text prefixes. The one you're using is a streight mysql dump, and you don't need it if you run the install script.

If you use the dump instead, then just rename the table when your done through mysql client, or phpmyadmin.

And lastly, if they import it in, then what do I do about the rest of the installation as it seems that I can't get past Step 5?

If they import it, you don't need step 5, you're done. :)

My preference would be to first get the host to fix the query limit, since this will solve any future problems with the database. Once that fixed, you can just use the nstall script as usual.

If they don't want to do that, then your above work-around would work, provided that you don't run step #5

zendiver

09-01-2005, 02:15 PM

well, they will not up the max limit so the dump is the way I am going to have to go, but now I forsee another problem. Once the dump is made, it already has the table name etc....so I will more than likely get errors running the install program.

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

And then add this below for it show the buttens in the right spots.

<if condition="$show['wysiwyg']">
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', 'WYSIWYG_HTML', '2');">

One question. How do I change the text background to white? For some reason its defaulted to red. and I like black text (with red highlight) with a WHITE background. where do I change that?

UPDATE: I found a work around. I removed the link to my CSS file and copyed the CSS content into the vbspell_iframe.php and removed my background image which was causing the problem. :ermm:

What's this like on the old server loads and queries? Does it add a lot or very little?

It's quite fast and light, but you might want to test on the server just to be sure.

It's optimized to ignore common words (any words excluded from your vB search indexing), and the dictionary is indexed, and the queries are indexed, so I haven't noticed any load issues.

You can convert the dictionary table to a HEAP/memory table, but it doesn't seem to be needed.

I just got done doing the upgrade to 3.09 a few minutes ago and I noticed that when you hti the spell check button, the window that pops up is a blank window.. Viewing source fomr within it shows nothign as well.

All files are still on server

and template modifications are still in place.

Currently I have it set so that only Premium Paying Members can use spell check so I want to make sure that the spel check link only shows up in the "PM" memu only for my premium members.

Interesting bug....

If you do a spell check and FONT COLOR or BBCODE COLOR a word, the spell the check thinks its miss spelled when its really not....Any ideas?

How is it coloured? I know that mixed format within the word would do this.

Does anyone or can anyone help me out here? Im sure someone know how to do this?

I didn't understand what you mean. Have you tried the templated edits for PM's in the first post, and they didn't work?

Just click the "learn" button.

You can add a template conditional to only show the learn button to some groups. However, keep in mind that the "learn" button relies on cookies. So if one user clicks "learn", it will not be added to your database, and it will no affect other uses, each's learned words are stored in their own cookies.

Very nice, very clean. However, I would suggest correcting the spelling of Thesaurus on the "Thesarus" button and expanding the dictionary.

2. Is there a way to add languages/dictionaries?
3. If Q1=YES, why isn't this used in standard vB instead of what they currently use?

1. Yes
2. Somewhat tricky and depends on the language. A better alternative for other languages is PungoSpell.
3. vB uses client side spell checker, ieSpell, which is IE only, Windows only and English only, (I think).

akanevsky

10-16-2005, 05:41 PM

2. Ok, for PungoSpell - does that work in Opera? And how do I add, say, Russian?
3. That's why they should use a more universal spell checker like this one.

tamarian

10-16-2005, 05:53 PM

Yes, it does work in Opera. For Russian, it's as simply as specifiying 'ru' in the PungoSpell config. (Provided that your server has the Aspell Russian dictionary installed.).

What about specifying more than one language?

Could be hacked. Add a dropdown list of languages you want next to the spell button, set the value to the PSPELL language identifier like 'en' 'ru' 'fr', and pass the value to Pungospell.php. In the config section, replacelanguage variable with the value from the dropdown list. I haven't tried it, but it should work.

You don't have to re-install, but it might be easier than investigating why it stopped working, what was deleted, or which templates got edited. To re-install, just run the install script and click uninstall, then follow the installation steps in the first post.

If I run the uninstall and then reinstall it do I have to modify all the templates again or can I just tun the install.php file ?

Run install first, and upload the files. If things still don't work, that would mean there was a template change that made it stop working, in which case you need to re-apply the template edits.
