vB Spell :: Spell Checker in WYSIWYG and Standard Modes

[ludachris]

I have 3.5.2 and what I had to do was uninstall the hack and then reinstall it (completely including template modifications) to get it to work - but I've not even had a single issue with it since the reinstall.

Man, this is frustrating. I've uninstalled and reinstalled completely. No luck. I used to have PungoSpell installed, could that have anything to do with this? Uninstalled that one and tried this one.

[vonedaddy]

I am having problems also with 3.5.2... I get internal server errors on step 5 of install (Load Dictionary). Then I uninstalled and try to reinstall and got DB errors. Has there been any help with this??

[HenryHank]

I just installed this on 3.5.2, and it works flawlessly.

The only issue was that I had changed my admin cp directory name, so the install program can't find the dictionary to load ("/admincp/" is hard coded in the install script).

What you need to do is create an admincp directory and move the DICTIONARY.DIC into that directory (if you also changed the admincp directory). Then the install will complete and load the database tables. You might need to uninstall then re-install, since the database table has already been created.

But with my plain vanilla 3.5.2 version (also running with PHPADSNEW), it works perfectly without any other errors or problems.

[soravok]

I'm still having the same problem as I mentioned in earlier posts. The spell checking window just has garbled php code in it and nothing else. Any thoughts or suggestions folks?

[ludachris]

Well I guess those of us who have tried installing it multiple times with no luck are... out of luck.

[davidw]

The only thing I can think of it conflicting hacks. In your plugins, where the vbspell is, something else may be conflicting with it.

[ludachris]

This hack doesn't use plugins.

[tamarian]

Has anyone else experienced Javascript errors, preventing the spell check from working? I ran the install and edited the templates, but when I click the button, nothing happens. I look down in the corner of the IE status bar and there's a JS error. The error says something like:

'document.forms[...].message.value' is null or not an object

Any idea what's going on? The only other thing I have running is phpAdsNew scripts (in js form). I removed all the phpadsnew code and it still gives the same error, so there's no conflict there.

This happens with which template? edit post, reply, new thread ..?

[ludachris]

It appears there's something wrong with the javascript file. That's where the error is happening - I don't think it's conflicting with another hack.

It's giving me an error with line 25 in the javascript file - here's line 25:

h_spellform.spellstring.value = document.forms[formName]["message"].value;

In the error I'm receiving, it's seeing the variable "formName" as "..." and saying it's null or not an object.

[ludachris]

This happens with which template? edit post, reply, new thread ..?

Reply, New Thread and Quick Reply are all giving me problems. I didn't try installing in Edit Post.

[ludachris]

tamarian,

Any luck getting this worked out?

[tamarian]

Any luck getting this worked out?

I have just tried it on a fresh 3.5.3 install, and it worked fine, and didn't encounter any problems.

[ludachris]

So how does this help me exactly? That's great that you got it to work with no problems. Many others have been able to do that as well. I gave you the javascript errors I'm receiving - I was hoping you could try and figure out why I'm receiving that error. There must be some reason I am getting this error. Telling me that you installed it without a problem does me no good.

[ludachris]

I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing again - even reverted the template I was testing it on. I'm still getting the same javascript error. I don't have any hacks that show up in the newreply.php file. If anyone who knows anything about coding hacks can help me out, I really would like to run this script. Obviously this hack has an issue that an advanced coder needs to look into - someone with javascript experience in particular. The vbspell.js is spitting out an error at line 25. Here is line 25 of that file:

h_spellform.spellstring.value = document.forms[formName]["message"].value;

In the error I'm receiving, it's seeing the variable "formName" as "..." and saying it's null or not an object.

Now, I'm glad that this works on a fresh install of 3.53, but that really does me no good. I have a slightly hacked board and none of my hacks should be conflicting with this. I've even removed a few that I thought might. Does this have anything to do with WYSIWYG settings? Anything to do with server settings? Anyone? Bueller?

I've installed everything exactly the way the instructions say - at least 4 times. That tells me that this script is buggy.

[Replicators]

My only problem is when i install the dictionary i always reach max questions>8(

Could a sql file be made also for other people that have this problem?

[ztempuser]

can this work on vb3.5.1?

[ludachris]

Since the person who wrote this hack can't seem to help me out, can someone else give me some suggestions on why the javascript file used in this hack is giving me errors? I've posted the error above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[bloodwrath]

installed and working great
the spell checker is a tad dump. will keep adding custom works to the .dic file
thanks

[mdcarlson]

Tamarian,

Great mod! I installed today on vB 3.5.3 and had it working a few minutes. I followed the directions to replace the ieSpell button.

Three quick questions:
I don't see any suggested spellings no matter what value I set for the Levenshtein Distance. What could cause that? The rest of the spelling popup box looks correct.
How does the "learn" function work? Is this per user or for the entire board?
What is the best way to add domain-specific vocabulary to the words list?


Thanks,

Mark

[tamarian]

1. The disctionary maybe empty
2. Stored in user's cookies
3. No direct way currently.

[tamarian]

Should be o.k.

[mdcarlson]

The Dictionary is fully populated in the MySQL vbspell table and spell-check finds incorrect words OK.

What else would cause the suggested spellings not to appear?

[ludachris]

tamarian, does the fact that you're ignoring my posts mean that you have no idea why your hack is not working for me? All I really want is some suggestions on what to look for. I narrowed down where the problem is - it's the 24-25th line in the Javascript file. Can't you do anything at all to help me out here? I'm trying to troubleshoot this.

Can ANYONE just tell me why I'd be receiving this javascript error?

[Warlockmatized]

works GREAT...........

i would however like to see it check the title of a new thread OR reply.

other than that excellent addition to my board.

*clicks install and grins

[ludachris]

[zylstra]

For step 3.C. of installation shouldn't the default be to incorporate the tabindex:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" tabindex="1" /> instead of <input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />?

[o0Hubba0o]

Been wanting to get this for awhile, but have been avioding thinking it's a long and complex install.

Man was I wrong, this was very easy for anyone who's installed some hacks, and should be easy to figure out for the new ones to the scene too. Took me maybe 15 minutes total.

[4number8]

This still works great, just do like everyone has said, reinstall except for step 5

[quanvo81]

I can't pass by the installation step 5, even I have a dedicated server , I edit my php.ini file, fix the max_exection_time to 320. I have also edit the vbspell_install.php file with @set_time_limit(3600);
Everytime when I get to step 5, I got a blank page.
Also why my DICTIONARY.DIC file is only 2MB while I saw somewhere in here that people claim their DICTIONARY.DIC file to be approximately 8MB
Correct me if I am wrong and I really appreciate for all your help.

[zylstra]

4 forms of the word masturbate are mispelled (masterbate) in your dictionary, among many others.

Who provided the dictionary?

[reismarktq2]

My boss has been wanting something like this for months now. Thank you so much for providing this awesome hack!

I do have two issues though, and they both pertain to adding spell check to quickedit. The statements are set up properly in SHOWTHREAD, but when I click the Spell Check button, the window loads up and I promptly get the "Spell Check complete" message, despite there being obvious misspellings in my test message. What's even worse is that if I use a test message with no errors with quickedit, the spell checker will REPLACE the entire contents of my test message with the default "enable Quick Reply" message.

It works great everywhere else, but I'd love to see a fix for these two bugs since quickedit is a place I'm going to want to have this used regularly. :D

(I should add, I am getting these bugs with the most recent version of Firefox.)

I'll post my weekly plea for help - though it's becoming quite clear that you can't get help with this hack (I've been trying to get support for weeks now and am ignored). It simply will not work. I keep getting a Javascript error. I've reinstalled nearly 5 times with the same results. Here's the error I've been getting:

One of my users is reporting what sounds like the same problem, but only when he tries to view the page using the IE Tab or IE View extension for FireFox (Not sure which extension) I haven't been able to reproduce it, so I haven't got a clue what is going on.

I'm using IE 6.0.2900 and I can reproduce the problem everytime. Many users have the same problem, so I know it's not just me. And once again, just so everyone knows, I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled several times to try and fix this. It doesn't do anything differently.

[ludachris]

You did get support, but your sarcasm got in the way. You don't like my suggestions, and you want it fixed exactly your way, which won't work.

tamarian,

I didn't get any suggestions from you that I didn't try. You asked me what templates I was having problems with and I told you. I gave you the error and narrowed down where it was coming from. Then you told me that you tried installing it yourself with no problems. I didn't see that as being a suggestion, but maybe it meant that I should try reinstalling, which I did multiple times without success. What other suggestions did you give that I haven't tried?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say I want it fixed "my way"? I just want to get this working and haven't given any hint that I won't try your way or anyone else's - hell, I've been trying to find anyone that would give me any advice to get this thing working. Aside from reinstaling, what other advice was I given that I missed?

[ludachris]

You don't like my suggestions, and you want it fixed exactly your way, which won't work.

Again, I'm open to fixing it anyway possible - your way or anyone elses', it doesn't matter to me. I'm open to any advice. I've tried re-running the install script several times with no difference in the outcome. That doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? What should I try next?

[tamarian]

Ludachris, we know that it works on a fresh vb, but with your customization, it doesn't. So it will need to be a process of elimination, to find why it's not working for you. Best way to do it is by creating a new style from the default vB style, with no edited templates. Make the vB Spell template edits, and see if it works. If it does, then you need to revert some of your templates to eliminate whatever is there causing it not to work.

I'll try this. Just so you know though, I did try something similar before - I reverted my Reply template and Header template and put in the code and it didn't work. I'm guessing there might be other templates involved though? Maybe the Navbar template? Any ideas what other templates I should keep an eye out for that will have an effect on things?

Thanks for the suggestion.

[quanvo81]

my question get ignored too.

[RDX1]

I'm having a problem, trying to do step 5. It always times out.

[Princeton]

I needed to install this for a client but I noticed that the posbit_edit didn't work.

The reason why it doesn't work is because the vbspell script checks for form name "vbform". The post_edit form doesn't use this 'name'. In fact, I don't think it has a name.

Anyway, the fix is to find the array of form objects within the page. ie. how many <form> objects are found before the postbit_edit form. In a default vbulletin style, the number is 3 ... at least that's what it was for me logged in as admin. :)

So instead of...
document.form["formname"] - uses defined form names
we will have
document.form[3] - uses refrence number within array

If it doesn't work with '3' check with another number.

I can't test this on client site as a registered member so if someone can test and confirm this I would appreciate it. Thanks

Well, here's the fix:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onclick="spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');" />

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
Check to see if field exist before ALTERing a table. For example, user table - if field exist ALTER will fail; thus, it may leave someone with missing fields

GREAT JOB

[OrangeFlea]

Any demo sites? Is anyone running this thing on their forum, I want to check it out.

[reismarktq2]

Princeton: Works like a charm. Much thanks! :)

Tamarian: Any reason why the install script needs to be re-run after running a vBulletin update? And how much of the install script actually needs to be re-run? I'd rather avoid having to re-install the dictionary each time I run an update, since we are often adding a number of words/phrases that aren't already there as they are discovered and would like to be able to keep these customizations.

[tamarian]

Princeton: Works like a charm. Much thanks! :)


Post the details, and I'll add it to the first post so others can try it.

Tamarian: Any reason why the install script needs to be re-run after running a vBulletin update? And how much of the install script actually needs to be re-run?

The reason is that this was released prior to product xml files. Converting it to product format is not difficult, but will mess up previous installations. At one point in the future I'll think of a way for a painless upgrade.

You can run the steps until the dictionary step, which does not need to be re-run.

[Ambie]

I couldn't figure out how to get past step 5 for the life of me. I was desperate,so what I ended up doing was looking at the last word in the VBspell table, then going to the dictionary.dic file and copied the words after that one all the way down. Pasted it into a new file, named it dictionary.dic and uploaded it over the old one.Then ran step 5 again. It loaded the rest of the words and the install finished. Works great now. :)

I was removing the SkypeWeb hack from 3.5.3, and had to revert files.

In doing so, vBSpell broke, so I uninstalled it and then re-installed.

I, too, timed out on step 5...

But, I checked and spellcheck appears to be working again.

<shrug>

[clearchannel]

I have a question concernig usergroups. I have a primary usergroup I do not want to allow to use the spell check. I then add those who make a donation to a secondary usergroup for whom I would like to allow to use spell check.

I installed the spell check using the alternate templates edits ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=782989&postcount=48 ) I configured the specfic usergroups I want to enable spell check for.

The only problem is, for my secondary usergroup (donating members) the quick reply does not work. Spell check works in all other functions, such as post, reply, and private message.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: After further investgation, this issue only appears to effect Firefox 1.5.0.1

I really should check these problems out before wasting everyones time. I cleared the cache in firefox and all is working now. Sorry for the intrusion.

I had the same problem. Ran the uninstall, then manually dropped the vBSpell table from the DB, then re-ran the install, and all is well. Running 3.5.4 with no problems. I did have to revert several of my templates, which caused me to have to do the vBSpell edits again, but that was expected.

[Acedeal]

unable to install due to time out issues--
dies on step 5 where it tries to import all the words into the table-
even increase the time outs from 60 to 360 and it still a nightmare to install-
uses will have to do without a spell checker untill we get the option of installing the database from the mysql command line, or a least the option of skiping steps and letting us install the database manually.

-had it running in 3.07 perfectly-
this install just needs to handled a little differently-

[Sir_Yaro]

Hi.
How and where this module is interpreting non latin chars?
I couldn't find anything about code page or something similar.
Generally everything is working very well for polish language but polish letters are interpreted as spaces between words (or sth like that)

And second thing. What can I do if my dictionary take about 38MB ?? There is no way to import it via provided php interface... As a matter of fact I just hung up my provider's database while I was trying to do it...

[Rukbat]

I just installed on 3.5.4 and so far using Mozilla it's working great, I haven't checked in IE yet. However...
for Quick Reply in the SHOWTHREAD template I had to use:
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" />
which is the original code for the 'go advanced' button instead of
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="this.form.clickedelm.value = this.value" />

If I used both, I had two 'go advanced' buttons the spell check worked but neither 'go advanced' worked, it simply posted what I'd written instead of going to the advanced editor;
If I only used the 2nd one (....onclick="this.form.clicedelm.value...) the spell check worked but when clicking 'go advanced', again it simply posted instead of going to the advanced editor;
When I put the *original* 'go advaced' code AFTER the 'spell check' button code (it was originally right after the 'post quick reply' button code), the spell check worked AND it properly went to the advanced editor when 'go advanced' was clicked.
Now have I thoroughly confused everybody? lol
I love this, and so will my members :D

edit: checked in IE6 and seems to be working fine.... in edit, new thread, post reply, advanced, and quick reply

Polish users can find excelent dictionary here:
http://forum.mandriva.org.pl/~yaro/pl_huge.zip
or here
http://www.winedt.org/Dict/pl_huge.zip

it contains 3.024.847 words
Unfortunatelly provided php interface is completely useless for such huge dictionary. Actually it has a problems even with ~5-10MB dictionaries. If your database is not on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) I think you will not be ever able to put your dictionary to the database.
That's why I wrote bash script to do it instead of php one. It's slow (2-4x slower than php one) but it works!
I've removed function metaphone() because I havent find any application for it and I've no idea how to generate it in bash.

#!/bin/bash

ip="127.0.0.1"
database="test"
table="test"
user="root"
password=""
source_file="pl.dic.new"

clear

records=`wc -l $source_file |tr -cs '[a-zA-Z0-9.]' '[\n*]'|head -n 1`
echo "No. of records is $records"
echo ""

date
echo ""
#make table empty
mysql -h $ip -u $user --password="$password" -e "TRUNCATE TABLE $table" $database

# change the IFS variable to ignore whitespace

IFS=$ifs

echo "Transfering data"

while read A; do
mysql -h $ip -u $user --password="$password" -e "INSERT INTO $table VALUES (\"$A\",\"XYZ\")" $database >/dev/null 2>&1
counter=$[counter + 1]
tput cup 13 0;echo "$counter (of $records) records done..."

In firefox it just does nothing, and in IE, it waits a while and then gives page cannot be displayed. Any ideas?

I love this. thanks Installed

Great ... installed

[brvheart]

goes double for me! :p


using 3.5.4

yep, me to....

[Andyf]

Installed (eventually)

I had same problem as many others with the install stopping at step 5.

I fixed this as recommended by an earlier poster by creating a new dictionary.dic file for the words not transferred to the db in the first run. I oploaded the new dic file (overwriting the original) and ran step 5 again. It completed ok and install finished without further problems.

Great hack.

I think I mentioned this in an earlier post, but it's starting to bother me and I like to find out if there is a solution. The window that opens for the spell checker is too small and cuts off the right side in Firefox (left in IE) so it is hard to reach the scroll bar for "suggestions". See attached image. I can drag the window to make it bigger, but I don't like having to do that every time and some users might not realize that.

Is there anyway to make the window bigger?

Thanks,

Andrew

Installed today, and works well; except that it doesn't work from the postbit quickedit (always finds 0 mistakes in posts when checked thus, even if there are many spelling errors). I can also repeat the query of the post above: namely, that the spell check window is improperly sized in Firefox. Any chance of a fix for that?

Else, all looks quite nice. What are the options for installing other dictionaries (e.g. a UK English dictionary)?

[Parker Clack]

As Princeton laid out in post #301 change the postbit_quickedit

change

<if condition="is_browser('ie')">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>
</if>

to

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td><td onclick="spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');"><div class="imagebutton"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>

and

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onclick="spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');" />

after

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

worked for me with everything else as laid out with the changes to the postbit_quickreply template in v 3.5.4

Hi,

Thanks for this great extension :)

I finally managed to solve my problem concerning the importation of the dictionary. I did it in several steps, while cutting file DICTIONARY.DOC in several subfiles.

On the other hand, I have now a new issue. During the spell checking, no accentuated word is recognized. It's in french.

For example, the word “v?rifier” will not be known and it will see the word like this :
v? rifier

It puts a space in front or behind each accentuated letter. I don't know the cause of this problem and what I must correct. It's very frustrating :confused:

Any ideas ?

Regards,

[993ti]

I'm interested in this as some of my users can't even spell the most simple words.
Is there a dutch language available for it?

[sc4r3d]

For each template where you would like to add a vB Spell, do the following edits (Example: editpost, newreply, newthread, etc.)

Can you give me all of the names, I think I have all of them but want to make sure I am not missing any of them.

Hitting "Installed" and I love it!!

Thanks

Damn, that's fahny! :knockedout:

[FFMania]

Is it only me or does the hack not functioning properly on the quick post edit template? I tried it on my board by typing something that is wrong into the quick edit box... and when I did a spell check, it just said that "spell check is complete". Anything that I am missing here?

[Kihon Kata]

I installed this last year, but never clicked install. WTF uhm Hi

Hey, I noticed that the ZIP says "vBSpell 0 9 12" but when I downloaded it, the version at the top of the php files say "v0.9.7"

Am I seeing something strange here with version differences?

I've had this same problem (and I believe I reported it somewhere above in this thread) -- and have found no way to work around it. It just doesn't work in the quick post edit window. I've found it best not to provide it there in the templates; so there's no spell check button on the Quick Edit in-line editor (it's always available to users who click 'Go advanced' for the full editor).

It would be nice if this bug could be fixed, though.

[Zowners]

I get that same error, except after it says the spell check is complete, it erases the text in the messagebox.

I also get an error in edit post. I did A B and C from the top because it doesn't say otherwise. When I click the Check Spelling button it just doesn't open and I get the error icon at the bottom left of internet explorer.

No, maybe not.

If an internet explorer user posts a message with a smiley in it, then spell checks the message from within the preview window their post ends up with < img>< /img> at the end of it.

Your hack is really great and it works with french language. Thanks you very much.

I've just modified the installation process. I find it easier.

Code installation
Put <script src="vbspell.js"></script> at the end of your headinclude template.

Put <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="">

It replaces vB spell check with this one. I'm so happy it works with french language :)

Ok I need help...

My install gets stuck at Step 5: Load the dictionary. After taking what seems like too long a pop-up appears (see attachment)

I went ahead with the install and added the buttons. Everything seems to work and function just fine but it tells me that a lot of words are wrong which really are not so Im assuming its just not seeing those words in the dictionary because of my error during the install.

Anyone have any suggestions

[danhaga]

Still looking for help with the above problem... thanks

Please make this mod compatible with 3.6 gold :)

[flushingcomic]

they said B4 should be stable enough that they should have more then one RC, then they will call it stable.

sucks it dont work on 3.6

[CaffeineGibbs]

Has anybody used it on vB 3.5.4 ?

[blazeman]

Has anybody used it on vB 3.5.4 ?

Yep... been running on my 3.5.4 install since the day I upgraded :)

[user02934123123]

vB 3.6 is now in release candidate stage, which means the central coding is complete and there will be no major changes between the current RC code and that of the gold release.

Can we now please have an update on when we can expect a 3.6 compatible version of vbSpell? I'm hopeful it can be rather soon, so that we can migrate up to 3.6 on our systems (which we don't want to do without a spell checker); but there have as yet been no responses to any queries here about the upgraded version of the hack.

Many thanks.

[ShackMaster]

I'm having a problem with vb spell truncating the post. If the error is in the left of the message (as the attachment shows, it truncates that side), and if the error is on the right it truncates that side.

50831

[ShackMaster]

I also noticed it does a very poor job of catching misspelled words.

It missed:
"optinal" (optional)
"stritly" (strictly)
"explan" (explain)

It did catch:
havn't (haven't)

Is there a better dictionary or is that the problem?

Open your browser up and enter in the location URL of where you have vbspell_install.php located.

Err... Might want to give an alternative to break down the dictionary install into little pieces. My host has this max number of SQL per hour (to prevent denial of service attacks) and it "puked" at 24%

User kkk has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 50000)

PS: My spell checker is up, I got my install taken care by splitting the dictionary into 5 parts and runing vbspell_install 5 times at 1 hour intervals

ACK!!! I must be going nuts! I try the location but it doesn't work. What is it I'm missing here?! When I check the location I get sftp:// and the rest of it. When I load that up on the page, it doesn't work. So I simply try what you mentioned and I entered the url of the forum and finish it as you say: /forum/vbspell_install.php... Still nothing. I even tried: /forums/vbspell_install.php... nothing. Even /vbspell_install.php without the forum part and still nothing.

What does it do ?
It replaces vB spell check with this one. I'm so happy it works with french language :)

Precision : i've got vB Gold Version


this will make the code XHTML 1.0 Transitional
it will also make it so when you hover your mouse over the image it changes colors like the normal buttons, and still works when you click on it without opening the iespell dialog

*note*
this was tested on 3.6, but should still work on 3.5
P.S. fresh installing into 3.6 took some time (the installer needed lots of tweaking) and i still dont have my ACP working
it shows the fields and whatnot but not the text that tells me what im editing

I think I'll hold off for a bit on this and see if it gets ported to 3.6. Too bad vB coulnd't make this a default thing somehow, I mean forums are based around typing and words. ;)

I get this Db error when trying to install it on a v3.6 forum

Should this work with vB 3.6?

Any chance of this becoming a produce for vB 3.6? :begging on knees:

I think it will still work on 3.6, for those who had it in 3.5. But won't work for new installations. I'll take a look later, but may take some time.

If any developers here want to make the 3.6 version, feel free and release it as a new thread.

My carryover from 3.5.4 didn't work. Popup comes up blank. Anyone have any quick thing to check? (Yes... I've done all the template changes :D )

Same here.

A vB upgrade will delete the vbspell template. Just re-create the vbspell template (the template step from the install script).

I did that but I get a "no permission" page. I think I may have uninstalled and tried to do a new install. That won't work with 3.6.0 will it?

Well why didn't I think of that... I am once again spelling like a pro :D

Thanks!!

Hello,

I am running this on a site that runs 3.5.x. The "x" means I have been upgrading as they are released and I just reinstall the template edits. I do not get java errors and i have several other java scripts running on my site.

I actually am posting just to say that if anyone wants to apply this to the journal modification, it works just fine for Comments. I will try out the new entries and add to this if that works as well.

Edit the: journal_commentpage template. Add A and B as described.

Add C after:

<input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_comment]" class="button" />

For new entries, edit the: journal_submitentry template. make the A and B edits as described and add C after:

<input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_entry]" class="button" />

Both work fine and are running on my site.

I hv done excatly as per your instructions. However, when i click onto it, it says error on page. How do i get this right.

Hallo,
I just have a problem with vbspell when parsing following text:

Some text

should read: [#FONT#="Arial Black"]Some text[#FONT#]
without the #?s (Quoating seems not to work here either !?)

vbspell returns then:

[F]Some text[/FONT]

I don?t know why ! Any suggestions ?
