vB Spell :: Spell Checker in WYSIWYG and Standard Modes

[tamarian]

A 3.6 version by cynix2 is posted here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=124578

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 Works in WYSIWYG toolbar, Standard toolbar, and no toolbar
o Can be added in full edit mode, quick edit and quick reply.
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:
Note: There is a french version of vB Spell, by cclaerhout posted here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=835541&postcount=206)

1. Upload files and run vbspell_install.php
2. Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vB Spell and edit your usergroup permisisons.
3. Template edits: (see alternative method, if you don't mind removing the ieSpell button made by vB : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=782989&postcount=48)

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

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="">
</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:

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



Other templates:

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add A before the </head section and B after it. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature.
editpost
Calendar Templates: calendar_edit
New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread

Quick reply: . Put change A and B in showthread, as the rest, and use this for step C:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qrform', '$editorid', '2');" />
Right after this (also in showthread):
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="this.form.clickedelm.value = this.value" />

For quick edit in postbit_quickedit, use this for step C (A and B are in showthread):
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

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

Could be useful. Do you have the option not to spell check your posts? For example i was on a board and it annoyed the crap out of me to HAVE to go through every word that triggered an incorrectly spelled word.

So is it an option to just not spell check it?

Yes. It will only check spell the post if you click on the "Spell Check" button.

[theArchitect]

Yes. It will only check spell the post if you click on the "Spell Check" button.

I loved this in 3.0 and am glad to have it back in 3.5.0.

Only one problem. I have installed it and the checking of spelling is working. But it is not correcting the words. The corrections happen in the pop-up window but then when I click done and quit or just quit the post is not changed.

Any thoughts as to what I have done wrong?

What version of vB 3.5 are you running? Each beta is quite different :)

If you have beta-4, whivh page are you getting this with? What editor mode, and what browser and version?

[theArchitect]

Sorry.

I am running beta 4. And I get this with the WYSIWYG and standard editor in both the advanced mode and quick reply.

[tamarian]

Sorry.

I am running beta 4. And I get this with the WYSIWYG and standard editor in both the advanced mode and quick reply.

And your browser? Have you tried on different browsers?

[theArchitect]

And your browser? Have you tried on different browsers?

Sorry. I am stuck between a number of projects.

I am on a Mac and running FireFox.

I have also tested it in the latest versions of Netscape, Opera, IE and Safari and all come up the same.

Have you reverted all the temlates that need reverting after upgrading to beta4? The client scripts and tool bar templates have changed in beta4.

Feel free to PM a test account (regular user), and I'll check and see what's going on.

[theArchitect]

Just one more question about enabling it for quickedit. I must be missing the TFO because I can't work out where I should put the button line. I have got it working for quickreply but can't for quickedit.

Apart from that I have to say that this system totally rocks.

I would recommend everyone to put it on their boards. And for those server load Nazis who are worried about it pulling resources, you can enable/disable it per user group. So you could make it available to your paid members which gives them an added incentive to join up.

My mistake. The instructions should say to put step C in postbit_quickedit, not showthread. (A and B go in showthread)

You can put it right after this, for example:
<if condition="$show['deletepostoption']">
<input type="button" class="button" tabindex="1" value="$vbphrase[delete]" id="{$editorid}_delete" />
</if>

[theArchitect]

Many thanks. It is all up and running now.

Also, I would suggest that if you want to spell check your PMs that B should be put in USERCP_SHELL and not in pm_newpm as it stops all the other buttons from working.

Or maybe that was what you meant and I just misread it.

I haven't tested PM's :) Instructions updated.

[eXtremeTim]

Umm vb has its own built in spell checker now. ;) Since beta 3.

But good work.

[tamarian]

Umm vb has its own built in spell checker now. ;) Since beta 3.

Only for those on Windows, and if they like using Internet Explorer, and speak English only :)

I personally like client based spell checking, and there are client based spell checkers for other browsers. I use SpellBound for Mozilla.

But a server based spell checker is needed for those on the road, and don't have their home PC setup, or the many users who don't know about client-side spell checkers, or those on other browsers.

[eXtremeTim]

Thats why I said good work. ;)

[tamarian]

Thats why I said good work. ;)

Oh yes, I got that part :)

It's just that I've heard this comment at vb.com, and some people think ieSpell solves all the problems :)

[FASherman]

Since when is a button which is nothing more than a link to an external program "its own built in spell checker"?

Look! VB now has its own built-in sports site (http://www.espn.com)!

:ermm:

[jesus likes pie]

i cant get quick reply to work because i cant find any of that in showthread_quickreply......

[shiva]

The instructions are wrong for that.

You should have both A and B in the showthread template.

Add the code (to replace "C") at the bottom of the showthread_quickreply. It doesn't look very nice, but it works.

Are they still wrong?

It should work without editing showthread_quickreply. Check the latest edit of the template instructions, and if it's still wrong let me know :)

I get this error on the vbspell.php page when spellchecking:

Ah, this is because I forgot to update debug code before uploading :)

In vbspell.php and vbspell_iframe.php

Chenge this:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
To this:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

I've update the zip file in case anyone else if getting this.

[lierduh]

Not sure if you need to do this.

After upgrading to RC1. The spellcheck popped up as a blank page.
I had to uninstall and reinstall using the installation script before it started to work again.

No need to do this. I think that was due to the new JS code in vB RC1. A hard refresh of the browser should fix this.

Things I tried before doing that (IE 6):

1) Refresh at Edit Post page.
2) Ctrl-Refresh at Edit Post page.
3) Delete all offline contents.

My problem could be caused by other reasons. I thought too I wouldn't need to reinstall.:)

Hmmm, I'm wondering if this might be template dependant. When I tested RC1, I only tested one template (new thread). I'll do more tests to see if anything might cause a problem with RC1.

Let's hear from others if the RC1 upgrade went fine, or if they also had problems. If anyone else encountered problems, let me know which templates work and which ones didn't. But at leat we know that a re-install will fix the problem, if it happens :)

I forgot to confess.:) I reverted all templates after RC1 and inserted spellcheck stuff afterwards.

[lierduh]

I have noticed spellcheck removes all the line breaks. Is this an intended feature?:)

[tamarian]

I have noticed spellcheck removes all the line breaks. Is this an intended feature?:)

It shouldn't.

[lierduh]

I have lost the vBSpell functionalities as before again -- an empty pop up form. An uninstall and reinstall fixes that without even needing the reload of IE. So more likely is a server side issue, or some java stuff which I don't know anything about.:) Also the line breaks are still removed by the spellcheck as soon as I click "Done". If no one else has this problem, then I will start to look for the reasons caused in my forums.

[diettalk]

I scanned through but I don't think anyone mentioned this but when you preview a post and use the spell checker, it strips out the paragraph spacing and jumples up the thread.

Which RC version?

[diettalk]

3 ... thanks Tamarian.

[tamarian]

3 ... thanks Tamarian.

O.k., I've just installed RC3 and tested it. I was unable to reproduce where it would strip any line breaks.

Would you recount the exact steps where this would happen, in which template, edit or new thread/reply, and what mode, WYSIWYG, or standard, etc.

[Brinnie]

maybe a browser compatability issue?????

[diettalk]

IE, vBulletin RC3, Standard Editor, "post reply" or "post new thread".

When your done with your post (that contains some paragraph's), hit preview post and then do a spell check. When it's done spell checking, it will remove all paragraph's.

I have had this problem ever since I installed (RC2, RC1?). Many of my users also reported the same. See my post before this.

The error occurs as soon as I click DONE. The post text area gets rewritten, but all the paragraph marks were stripped.

I am using IE6 (SP2) with MS Java Virtual Machine.

I reported another bug before, but I will repeat here:

Every time I upgrade to a newer version of vB. The vbSpell pop up box will come up with empty contents. A trick to fix this is to unstall templates and reinstall templates using the bundled installation routine. What might have fixed the problem probably is: build_all_styles() function.

Can someone tell me where to find a french dictionnary please ?
Thank you.

Make sure you rename the file to DICTIONARY.DIC

Give it a try, and let me know if it spells properly or not, I have not tried it and I'd be interested to know.

[lefthome]

Great program but you are not very clear on a couple of things for us "Non-coder" types...

First, do I assume the dic is placed in admincp or what?

second, you are not very clear on these instructions:

Other templates:

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add A before the </head section and B after it. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature.
editpost
Calendar Templates: calendar_edit

Can you say that in stupid english? :o

[cclaerhout]

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="">
<input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">
</form> at the end of your header template.



Link to the dictionnary

editor_toolbar_on:

Find
<if condition="is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('mac')">
<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>

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




postbit_quickedit AND showthread_quickreply :

Find
<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>


Replace with



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


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

[Aeolian_X]

I have it working on 3.5 gold. Great job. I love this tool!

[Akex]

Instead of editing template files, I made a plugin who does template edit given by cclaerhout (except for postbit_quickedit, if I try to edit it the same way, quick edit no longer works)

[Moparx]

thanks for vbspell :D
it's not working for me in postbit_quickedit on 3.5 gold though :(

[tamarian]

it's not working for me in postbit_quickedit on 3.5 gold though :(

In what way is it not working? The button is not there, or it's there but does nothing, in standard or WYSIWYG mode. Note that the template changes are different for quick edit.

[Moparx]

the button is there but it doesnt do anything (i use standard)

i used:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qeform', '$editorid', '2');" />

[Lea Verou]

the button is there but it doesnt do anything (i use standard)

What if I want to remove the buttons to external links? Is it easy?
Also can I permit certain usergroups from entering words in the database?

[tamarian]

Might want to revert the template, and re-apply ythe edits. Have the header templates been changed inbetween RC's? Might need a revert,

[tamarian]

You can remove, or change the external dictionary links from the vbspell template.

The database is never updated with new (learned) words. It done in the browser cookies :)

[Lea Verou]

Thanks for such a quick reply!! :D

Also, can I have 2 dictionaries? One for greek and one for english?

[tamarian]

Thanks for such a quick reply!! :D

No, not as is. If you like to experiment, try using vB Spell for English, and install PungoSpell (link in my profile) to use for Greek.

[Lea Verou]

Ouch. That hurts.

What if I merge the 2 dictionaries?

edit: Or could I use vbSpell for greek and vBs built-in one for english? Will they work together? And WHERE is vbs built in dictionary that everyone is talking about???

Thanks in advance

i just looked over the code and it looks fine to me.. it seems to be a problem with the spellcheck's input button code for postbit_quickedit.

if i change 'qeform' to 'vbform' the spell checker comes right up instead of doing nothing. of course the spell checker can't do any spell checking because 'vbform' obviously isn't supposed to be used there.

any ideas? :(

If you use vB's built-in spell checker, they should work together with no problems. Note that vB's built-in only works for IE browsers.

Then you can use vB Spell for Greek.

Not sure about merging the dictionaries. It is an interesting idea. If you have try it, let me know the results.

[Lea Verou]

So I decided I wont use the built in (What's the point of using something that only works with IE? IE sucks!!! :P) and I'll use vbSpell and merge the dictionaries.
I'll let you know of the results!! :D

[Lea Verou]

The script requires the admincp to have the name admincp!!!
Ours doesn't for security reasons!
What should I do???
I'm in the last step and I get:

open the install file, and do a search/replace for admincp and replace it with the correct directory.

Now when I run step 5 the browser loads and after a while it stops loading!
Is it because the dictionary is 8MB?
I have an ADSL connection 384/128, is it too slow for this?

Nothing to do with your connection, it might be due to the time it takes greater than your php.ini max time setting. If you are on a shared host, you probably can't do anything about it.

[Lea Verou]

What is a shared host?
And what can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance :)

[tamarian]

What is a shared host?
And what can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance :)

Shared host, means many sites reside on the same server by the hosting company, where you don't have access to change your PHP setup. As opposed to a dedicated server, where you can change PHP setup.

If you are on a shared hsot, you cannot change it without asking your host to change it.

[Lea Verou]

Oh, then yes it is a shared host.
How can I find out what the limit is?
Anyway, I removed the english entries so it went from 9MB to 7MB...
I hope it does the trick... :(

[Lea Verou]

Damn didn't work now either :( :( :(
Isn't there another way to do this? I really like this hack and I have many members that do terrible mistakes... :(

[Moparx]

i just looked over the code and it looks fine to me.. it seems to be a problem with the spellcheck's input button code for postbit_quickedit.

if i change 'qeform' to 'vbform' the spell checker comes right up instead of doing nothing. of course the spell checker can't do any spell checking because 'vbform' obviously isn't supposed to be used there.


any ideas? :(

[tamarian]

How can I find out what the limit is?

In admincp, there's a phpinfo tool, under maintenance I think, where you can see all your PHP variables.

If you still can't load the dictionary, use the original dictionary file, which worked before (didn't it?)

What's the use of having english spellcheck in a greek forum? :eek:
Which variable should I see?

[tamarian]

I have no idea why it wouldn't work for your setup, that's why I suggested a revert and re-apply the edits (all 3 of them).

[tamarian]

What's the use of having english spellcheck in a greek forum?

I did not suggest that, you did. You said you wanted to use both :) I'm still not sure what setup worked for your before, and why it doesn't work now. So just repeaet the steps that worked. :)

[Lea Verou]

If you are replying to me, no setup worked for me! I could never get past the 5th step!
And I want to use both IF and only IF I have greek spellcheck. If I can't have both then I'll go with just greek. It totally useless to have only english... :(

Gold has changed the quick_edit's AJAX code. It used to send the quick_edit form by html. It seems now sending it using xml.

I have been trying to find the form name for the quick_edit form but have failed so far.

[Lea Verou]

O.k., so if it never worked, it's probably just the PHP max time setting. Which depends on your hosting company. :)

Yes but what should I tell them to change?

I really want this hack, I'll do anything I can to install it! :)

[tamarian]

Yes but what should I tell them to change?

The PHP script max execution time setting.

My test server is a bit messed up, so I'll test this in a couple of days when my environment is back to a clean 3.5 gold state. Feel free to bump this in a couple of days if this is still not sorted out.

[Lea Verou]

This is what my phpinfo says:
max_execution_time 30 30
What should I tell them to put it to?

[tamarian]

It would be hard to say, as it differs from server to server. If I tell you 60 or 90, it may still not be enough.

[Lea Verou]

Ok I'll tell them 100... I hope they do it even temporarily...

[lierduh]

The PHP script max execution time setting.

Or include this in the beginning of the installation script::)

set_time_limit(3600);

The script can run for 1 hour before timing out.

(Also check http log to see if there is any error. It shows if it had timed out.)

[Lea Verou]

Thanks lerduh.
However, I'm trying to uninstall so that I perform a clean install now that safemode is off and When I click step 4 for the table I get a database error that the table exists although I have uninstalled!
How can I solve this?

edit: Where can I find this http log??

[tamarian]

Thanks lerduh.

Hmm, run un-install again and see. It should remove it. There's only one table "vbspell".

Yes, you can delete the vbspell table manually, there shouldn't be a problem with that.

To change the execution time, you just update it in php.ini file. But you should ask your host where yours is. You just edit this cvalue in it max_execution_time = 30

You man this " set_time_limit(3600);"? It won't make a difference if your server's host doesn't allow it. The installation script already tries to disable the limit.

Another alternative, is to have your host import the dictionary table directly for you (if you don't have ssh access). The dictionary table dump is posted in the 3.0.9 version of vB Spell.

[Lea Verou]

What is ssh access?
They offered to do so, but how will they import it? It's just a list of words!
Oh, I guess I'll nag them till they increase it or let me do so :p

They will definitly know what ssh is, they can't be a host without it. And the MySQL dump in the other thread I mentioned is not a list of words, it's a MySQL sump of the dictionary.

An idea!
It would be nice if a member clicks on "Learn" instead of using only cookies to also add the word to a list that is moderated and the admin will choose if the word will be added in the database or not.

You can manually add words to the dictionary.

/yourforumdir/admincp/DICTIONARY.DIC


Open this file in notepad or whatever... add the words you'd like manually.

What I did for the last version I installed was create a notepad doc and put it on my desktop. I added common words which spell check didn't catch that I'd see around the site and update it manually once a month or so.

[agiacosa]

This might be due to a missing < when cutting and pasting. Re-check the edit for the buttom code in the template.

[Lea Verou]

The host finally answered!


This is really a programing issue. You are able to control the PHP timeout by adding the PHP function to control it in the script set_time_limit(). For further information please see:

http://php.speedbone.de/manual/da/function.set-time-limit.php

We will be happy to provide you with all the server information you need to help you configure your script.

There can literally be hundreds of reasons why a certain script may not be working and the absolutely best thing to do is to contact the person or company who made the script as they will be able help you install their script.

Many scripts come with a ?README? file which contains installation instructions. If you are still having difficulty we recommend contacting the programmer who wrote the script.

Thank you for your understanding.

So this means I will add the line that lerduh said??

It won't make a difference. I mentioned a few posts above that the code is already there, but sets the time to zero (means unlimited). If you want to try it, just place it under that line (they look alike).

Sorry if I have caused more confusion. I just checked, tamarian's installation code already include:
@set_time_limit(0);

If anything, you might want to remove the '@'. '@' suppresses the error. Once you remove it, then try the installation. Very importantly, check the http error log! If the script could not set_time_limit due to safemode on etc, it will show in the log.

[Parker Clack]

tamarian:

What do you edit to make the popup window contain the spellchecker so that it is the same size as the spellchecker? What do you change to make the popup window resizeable?

I am getting the following.

[Lea Verou]

I've tried with firefox and Opera.
No, I don;t get any errors, it starts saying "Waiting for e-steki...", the progressbar stucks to about 40%, keeps loading, and suddenly says "done" in the statusbar (like when a page loads) without any change in the page I'm viewing...

I'll try IE now altough I doubt it'll help
I have no such directory in my host! So its either on a different one or I don't have access to it...
So if it fails with IE too (and I am about certain that it will) what can we do? :(

[Lea Verou]

I tried on IE, it was slightly different cause I was seeing the progress of the progressbar (in ff it went from 0 to about 40% instantly and then stopped) and also I got a "Cannot find server or DNS Error" after it stopped loading!!

[tamarian]

what can we do?

I can't do anything. If your server cannot run the script, it's truely out of my hand.

Maybe I could somehow import the dicitonary in parts?

[tamarian]

Maybe I could somehow import the dicitonary in parts?

Not a bad idea.

After the first import portion, you need to remove or comment out the code the deletes the vbspell table.

Find this in the install script:

$query['new'][] = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vbspell";
$query['new'][] = "CREATE TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell (
word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY word (word),
KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM";

Replace with this:


/*
$query['new'][] = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vbspell";
$query['new'][] = "CREATE TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell (
word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY word (word),
KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM";
*/


And just run the dictionary step.

[Lea Verou]

Yes but in how many portions?
I am currently shortening and shortening the dictionary to test if it will ever be imported.
At 3MB it didn't, now I'm going to test 2MB...
In how many portions does the above divide it?

[Lea Verou]

Just tested 2MB dictionary, and I stil had the problem! :eek:
Now I'll test 700KB and afterwards jsut 100. If it still has the problem...it must be something else I think...

[Lea Verou]

Oh my god, it worked with a dictionary of 700KB...

What can we do? Will the above code work?

[Lea Verou]

...and no matter what I write when I click on spell check it says "spell checking complete" :S

[Lea Verou]

...and no matter what I write when I click on spell check it says "spell checking complete" :S

If I write english words in my post it actually tries to spellcheck... It completely bypasses greek words...

Just tell me what to do to make it work and I'll do it! I badly need this hack, I can't accept giving up so easily!!

[Lea Verou]

Maybe in the ignore_sets you have put something that accidentaly tresspasses greek characters along with other special characters?

[Lea Verou]

Also, I just saw that another hack of yours for spellchecking (PHPspell) supported...russian! So it should support greek too! So this, that's supposed to be more advanced than PHPspell should support such a language.
I think I have done something wrong... Maybe I should edit any config.php files to put there lanuguage? Something else?

Yes, it should, but many of these issues are server dependant. None of them reported the same problems you had with your server, and your host thinks it's a problem with the script, not their server. Think of it the other waty around. If the problem is with the script, why does it work with English, French and Russan, but not Greek?

How can it be a problem with the server that the script completely ignores greek words?
I too believe that the problem with the dictionary is because of the server but if it supported greek when installed, I want it so much that I could enter the words in the database myself!! :p
So the biggest problem is that it ignores greek words, not the import of the dictionary...
How can that be a server problem (I am really asking, as I am quite a n00b on such stuff...)

[tamarian]

Nice. Clicked install.

Can the 'Change to' field be populated with the current misspelled word if there are no suggestions?

Also, if you spell check: "greeeed asdf" and choose ignore for 'greed', the 'Change to' field is still populated with 'greed' when looking at 'asdf'.

Other than that a fine hack. Thank you.

Yes, I'll update the install scripts in the next version. In the mean time, if oyou haven't done so, just rename the directory in the script.

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.

[TosaInu]

I must have messed up the renaming, used another trick to get there (I hope :)

This is amaizing! Only problem was adding the dictionary to the database. I host with 1and1 and their DB konks out if i send to much at a time. so i had to add it until it gave me the error then find out how far it added and take all the stuff it added from the Dict.TXT and re add it. Worked perfectly.

No, sorry. No difference. Spell checking:
word 'word' "word"
still finds 'word' misspelled.

This mod strips out all backslashes from a post.

If I type "C:\Mypath\Foo"

vBSpell immediately strips it to "C:MypathFoo" when it comes up.

Yep that's a common thing in php to ensure that even if magic quotes is enabled the text will look correct... If that didn't exist in the code you'd probably see additional backslashes in the text (although you wouldn't loose the ones you posted).
I don't know if that can be fixed, but if it can I'd really like to see the solution!

I ended up running the install script and selecting uninstall.

Then I re-installed it & it's now working. The install/uninstall script made it very painless!

[tamarian]

Re: 3.5.1: The reason it stops working is that the vbspell template gets deleted after the upgrade, probably due to product id, as it was made before products. I'll check on that.

In the mean time, to get it back, all you need to do is re-create the vbspell template, either by running the install script (only the template step), or create a new vbspell template by pasting this:

Have you looked at the integration comments for template editing from message #48? These are very slick and so far seem to work great.

It replaces the IE only enabled ABC-checkmark with this editor. It seems to work really well and only required three template edits.

Comments?

I like it. I've made a link to it in the instructions as an alternative method. Some minor drawbacks are: 1) vbspell.js will be loaded on everypage, and 2) it removed the ieSpell button, which some users may still prefer.

[puertoblack2003]

love this hack this reminds me of outlook good program..ok ..maybe you can help me i read through the thread looking for the error messages i get through ie and in firefox don't get any thing to work..everything is installed but when running a test on it i get an error message in ie and in firefox nothing happen can you help me to see where i messed up at.

thanks in advance :ermm:

[tamarian]

i get an error message in ie and in firefox nothing happen can you help me to see where i messed up at.

This might be due to errors in your template edits.

yep found the problem in template had to double check and forgot to add a script....click installed :o

[wArDoG]

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="">
<input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">
</form> at the end of your header template.

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

Hi Thanks for the help with this.

What template(s) do I need to edit to get the spell checker ilinked to PM's?

Steve

[seg]

Thanks for the Spell Checker mod. Everything works great except for the Quick edit. I was confused by the notes, is this fixed yet, or is it still not supposed to work?
Fix: Quick edit no longer works, must switch to advanced mode.

Also, just a suggestion for future versions. It would be nice to have a centralized dictionary where the Admin can allow certain words used by all members of the board.

[seg]

In the instructions above in the "Other templates:" section there are instructions for the template "pm_newpm"

Never mind. I forgot I turned off short open tags. This is why you should never use short open tags. *waves finger*

:D

Simple fix by adding php after <? in vbspell.php. ;)

[tamarian]

Thanks for the Spell Checker mod. Everything works great except for the Quick edit. I was confused by the notes, is this fixed yet, or is it still not supposed to work?

No, it still doesn't work with Quick edit.


Also, just a suggestion for future versions. It would be nice to have a centralized dictionary where the Admin can allow certain words used by all members of the board.

Note that it's best to let everyone add words, since adding words is done through cookies, and does not effect other users.

Nice utility tamarian, thank you for your work on this.

Are you planning on any dictionary maintenance functions? Adding words to the dictionary would be a nice addition.

I would think that at a minimun, integrating the phpspell admin Add a Word function into the Admin would be a valuable feature.

On the high end, capturing the words that individuals add to their own private dictionaries for possible inclusion into the main dictionary would be very sweet.

Anyway, a very nice utility.

Fixing that annoying upgrade bug that whacks the template would be nice :).

I just installed it on my 3.5.1 board and things are A-OK. Awesome mod.

Thanks tamarian,

This is just what the users on our forum have been wanting. Thanks so much.

Easy to install. excellent. :)

[slvr ralliart]

aight nice hack!!

how do I add a few words in the dictionary that aren't there?

[tamborinegal]

Also, if you spell check: "greeeed asdf" and choose ignore for 'greed', the 'Change to' field is still populated with 'greed' when looking at 'asdf'.

Good points, I'll mark it as a to-do :)

tamarian,

Love this hack... but is there any update on the problem above? The problem is, if this happens at the beginning of a post, you have no way to check the rest, it just keeps suggesting the same word :(

thanks

[slvr ralliart]

so...

would you like to share how to add a word or two the the dictionary?

Test this for me. Open vbspell.js and find:

if (misps[ wordindex ].suggestions.length) {
for (sugidx = 0; sugidx < misps[ wordindex ].suggestions.length; sugidx++) {
if (sugidx == 0)
isselected = 1;
else
isselected = 0;
newopt = new Option(misps[ wordindex ].suggestions[sugidx], misps[ wordindex ].suggestions[sugidx], 0, isselected);
sug.options[ sugidx ] = newopt;

if (isselected) {
frm.changeto.value = misps[ wordindex ].suggestions[sugidx];
frm.changeto.select();
}
}
}
Add after:
else
{
frm.changeto.value = '';
frm.changeto.select();
}

k i got a wierd problem..

install works fine for new reply.. i just installed it into quick edit, and when i click modify, the button shows up, and when i click it, the pop up opens but is totally blank (it doesnt take the post text) and it goes "spell check done" then proceeds to whipe out the text completely, so there is nothing in the edit box when it goes back.

any ideas?

[RGSMDNR]

how do i make the pop up window bigger? the right hand side is cut off slightly.

[clearchannel]

I haven't been able to get the spell check to work in private messages in vb 3.51.

$header
$navbar
<form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow" action="vbspell.php">

<input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">

I have not been able to find the code to replace in the pm_newpm, that code does not look like the other templates edits?

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

I removed it since some didn't know it's optional :)

Thanks. I managed to get it to work by just importing up to the r's then modifying the script and dictionary. This will help in the future though.

Works great, thanks alot for your work on this....it is appreciated :)

[TosaInu]

vbspell (also the latest update) stopped working on our board.

The templates are still fine, the files are where they should be, the database is fine, the buttons work, vbspell.php is loaded into a new popup, but instead of showing anything, a white page (no error codes) is displayed. Is this because of the 3.5.1 upgrade or is the PHP configuration changed?

Hi,

Where it says 'upload files' where do I upload them to?

Thanks,

[SpadMan]

After upgrading to vBulletin 3.5.2, I had the same problem TosaInu reported. As suggested by tamarian, I re-ran the installation to get vB Spell working again. It was necessary to reinstall the dictionary as well.

[TosaInu]

Thanks tamarian

Step 1 generated a SQL error since the fields already existed in the database.
Step 2 completed.
Step 3 completed
Step 4 generated a SQL error since the fields already existed in the database.

The spellcheck seems to be working again. I guess step 3 (adding templates is vital).

Hi,

The zip file contains the correct directory structure. Upload what's in forum to forum, and what's in admincp to admincp.

[bitbender]

OK, I did all the updates, all seemed to go well, but, it seems that I have made a mistake somewhere...

NO matter what I do, I got the "Spellcheck is complete" box, even when errors are plainly visible... :ninja: This is the same for all interfaces, edit/new reply/new post, etc...

See attached screen shot.. Any Ideas?

works great on 3.5.2, thanks for this!! :D

Was the dictionary installed? How many words are there (size of the vbspell table)


Yes... 192,917 total.. i ran thru all the pages in this hack, checked perms on the scripts and everything I thought it might be. Not my first time at application of hacks either, but I know I can make a mistake the same as the next fellow...

I did read thru all the pages of this thread to see if it twas already discovered, saw one post, but no solution..

btw, this is a VB 3.5.0 gold , and Vbportal 3.5 co-mingling

TIA for your efforts.

I also have the problem two other users mentioned in this topic:
Upgraded VBulletin to 3.5.2 and:
- templates are fine
- files are where they should be
- database is fine
- buttons work
- vbspell.php is loaded into a new popup, but instead of showing anything, a white page (no error codes) is displayed.

What can I do to fix this? I don't want to reinstall it from the scratch. There must be something simple.
Please let me know. :devious:

[tamarian]

You don't have to re-install from scrach, just re-run the install script. The template edits will not need to be re-done.

[utw-Mephisto]

When you use this on "editpost" too it deletes the text ..

Basicially you click edit and then straight away spell check ... the popup appears empty and so is the post when closing the spellcheck window :(

You probably mean the quick edit? This seems to be a weird problem I'm not yet able to fix. If you click "go advanced" it will not happen. Best for now is to not use it in quick edit.

[utw-Mephisto]

Yeah, this is what I meant .. I disabled it for now ... if someone wants to use an advanced feature such as spell check - well - click advanced :D

It does not appear to be working in vB 3.52. Is there a fix for this problem?

I'll see if that does it.

I tried reinstalling with/o the dictionary, when doing a spell check it would find mispelled words, but no option to correct them. I then completely uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and all is working as it should now.

Upgraded to 3.5.3 to see if it fixed the problem, still getting the same issue as above. I would really like it if someone could give me a hand figuring this out. Seems like a good piece of software if I can get it working :) Thanks!

You'll need to search your templates for "head". Find the one you need to edit. Proceed slowly through the instructions.

[soravok]

I'm just going to keep posting untill someone has a suggestion, so far I've tried both methods of setting it up and neither has worked properly. I have a forum that needs a spell checker, any legitimate suggestions on fixes/work arounds. You'll need to search your templates for "head". Find the one you need to edit. Proceed slowly through the instructions. I hope you don't moonlight in the support industry there guy!

Someone got a German dictionary?

Thanks!

me too interesting... :squareeyed:

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.

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.

Just to let everyone know, this hack does not seem to work in 3.52 or 3.53 - I have it working on a 3.51 site with no problems, but the newer vb versions spit out javascript errors. I'd wait until this hack is updated to install it on a new version of vb.

It works fine for me in both 3.52 and 3.53. I do have to rerun the install script whenever I upgrade VB, though.

Well I installed it new in 3.53 and it doesn't work. Sorry, since I couldn't get any support I just assumed it didn't work for any new versions.

I tried uninstalling everything except the dictionary and reinstalling. I double-checked all of the template settings. Still doesn't work.

I guess my previous statement is partly true - it doesn't work for all people running 3.53. It might work for some, but obviously not all.

Worked for me in 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 as well. As described earlier in this thread, it had to be reinstalled each time I upgraded vBulletin.

I wish that was the case for me - but as I said, I didn't install this hack until AFTER I upgraded my vb version, so this wouldn't apply to me. So I say again, there appears to be a bug in this hack. It's too bad the person who wrote it won't check this thread to get it worked out.

[ludachris]

Just for the hell of it, I uninstalled the untire hack including the dictionary, and reinstalled using the install script. I even went through and reinstalled the code in the templates. It does not work. This has to be a bug, as I've done everything right and I still receive Javascript errors. I even downloaded the files again to make sure I have the most recent versions.

Buggy hack. I'd advise people to wait before they go filling up their database with a big dictionary until this gets sorted out.

Sorry, just to clarify, I'm having trouble with 3.52.

[davidw]

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.
