With the import completed, and the vbspell options "Enable vB Spell for all but guests?" is set to YES. The spell check button appears in the advanced edit screen. When you click on it, nothing happens. In Firebug, you see the error occur "spellCheck is not defined" each time you click on the button. Any ideas?

I've confirmed the DICTIONARY.DIC, vbspell.js, vbspell.php and vbspell_iframe.php are on the server. MySQL has the table "vbspell" with about 193,000 records.

----- unrelated help for others -----
I had earlier problems with the Import, always returning the message:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

To fix the fatal error, edit the \PHP\php.ini on the server, and change the line:
maximum_execution_time from the default 30 to a larger value. I used 300, but it the operation completed in about 45 seconds so a value 60 or so may be fine.

Same thing happened with me. any clues?

I have just installed this on my 3.6.8 version of vb and when I click the spell check button it loads a blank page, why is this? Also how can I add the spell check button to more area like PM and so on?

I have just installed this on vB 3.6.8 PL2 and I have had to fix some stuff to make it work.

- I had to edit vbspell.php to point to the correct URL for the rest of the files.
- I am still working on a security error.

On the note of the security error, maybe somebody can help:
- I get the following error when the javascript tries to access the parent window to be able to change the text:
Uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDocument.getElementById
Anybody know why?

EDIT: The issue is the old "cross-domain" problem, as I originally suspected, but it is catching the presence or lack of the "www" at the beginning of the domain as a "cross-domain" request.

While I don't have vbspell working yet, was there a special reason you had to edit the URLs for vbspell? A quick look at the files on my system seem to have the right paths, with vbspell installed in the same directory as all the other forum files.

For example in vbspeall.php: include('global.php');

A path problem could be the source of my problems too, where it can't find the SpellCheck function located in the vbspell.js file. I can't find any reference to the vbspell.js file in all the forum files, but it might be something stored in one of the databases.

I uploaded everything in the upload folder to /public_html and added the .xml product. When I try click the spell check button, the box pops up but it says vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster. Any suggestions?

For me, applying the patches to the vbspell templete didn't help or change anything for me. I tried many path variations and even tried fully qualified URLs (i.e. src="http://www.mysite.com/forums/vbspell.js" and similar mod for the later line for the .php file). It's obvious from the firebug error that it can't find the vbspell.js file, almost as if the template is ignored.

I got slightly better results by including in the common template "headinclude":
<script type="text/javascript" src="../forums/vbspell.js"></script>

Now when you click on the spell icon, a white box appears (pop under), but instead of the text of the reply message I get "No input file specified.". I'm not recommending this change for others, but it confirmed the vbspell template is being ignored or has other problems.

Guess I'll give this a rest - another few hours wasted :(

PS. Using VB 3.6.9 as the base system.

I have installed this mod but now when I click on the spell check button it opens another page that says "page cant be found" anyone having or had this issue and how do I fix this?

I am running 3.7 and didn't even upgrade this script except for my template edits and it is working exactly as designed. I don't know if I just lucked out, but perhaps those having issues should double check their edits and make sure they didn't miss a step.

What about me lol i'm running VB 3.7 and i', wondering if i can use the vB Spell on my forum, or do i need to wait for a new update?
