I run a Blues Brothers forum, and I needed a way to add "Aykroyd" to my dictionary (somehow "Belushi" was already in there!), as well as any words we come across that should be in the list.
I searched this thread, and the other vB Spell thread and couldn't find any easy way to add new words, apart from the Learn cookie method (which isn't much help in this case). Until this feature is added (perhaps as an AdminCP thing), here's a page I threw together quickly to generate the SQL required to add a new word to your dictionary. I assume this also works for 3.5.x, if they're using the same vbspell table structure.

You should be able to just copy/paste the SQL into phpMyAdmin, or whatever database admin software you use.

If it's useful to anyone let me know, extra feature ideas are welcome :)

O.k, thanks, did that, I did unzip the diction. sorry, I am not sure about the last part of your instruction?, please let me thank you in advance

"then import the product file to vB's product manager"

Should I erase that upload folder in there?

keep everything you've done so far, go to the plugins and products section in your admin cp and click manage products, then click add/import product, browse for product-spellvb[reg].xml
click import

bbc that is a good idea, i'll look around for a good way to add a page to the admincp so that this can be done

When I browse, it takes me to my pictures, sorry, I am totally ignorant to this system, and computers period. How do I get to my ftp, or should I just find it on my desktop.

well installing this crashed mysql (max 50,000) by using the regular install method so I think you need to break up the regular install into chunks like you do in the alt install.

Now to wait on hold forever to have my host restart mysql. :angry:

I think I'm missing a step here, how to communicate with my host, is there some way to do this, perhaps a setup that allows me to transfer files and what not?

Got this installed, took a bit had to do a progressive dump into mysql to get it working!!

Now I got that far, no text actually shows on the spell checker, it must give me options but the text just isn't there, it changes it to nothing!!!

Also the pop up window it opens in isn't long enough, the text box just disappears off the side....

HELP!!

To me this isn't worth crashing and f'ing up your database over. I got the exceed 50k error both ways so I have decided to forget this for now.

There aint any m8...its a stand alone, but intergrated, does that make sense... www.mkportal.it
