another question:

i am testing this with users placed in secondary usergroups, and its not working. any ideas?

also is there any way to only have admins or staff have the option to use 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.

what about my first question?

It currently just works with the primary group. I'll add to the to-do list for a future version.

when will a future version be released for 3.0.x?

Let's say a week. If you don't see it in a week, feel free to bump this thread. :)

will this work on the latest version 3.5.0?

There's another version made for 3.5, you'll find it listed in my profile page.

Thank you :)

Anybody have a list for templates that need edited? (Like all the ones with a body place, that could use the spell checke)

They're listed at the bottom of the forst post :)

Are they the only ones?

I think so, if anyone knows of any other templates please let me know.

/me bumps tamarian and this thread

so hows that update lookin?

<font color="DarkGreen">Installed</font>

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

what was updated tam?

A few questions:
1. Does this work in Opera?
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?

Who's tam? :) Nothing updated yet. Be patient :)

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).

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.

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?

Thanks, will check it out.

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.

Thanks :)

oh the update thing says today, just wondering...lookin forward to the secondary usergroups...

Oh, that. I just updated the description :) When there's a code update, I will use the update notification, which will send out an email with the update summary, and upgrade instructions.

My vbspell stopped working??? When I click the spell check it launches the other vbspell.php window but nothing happens. It never starts just a white page. Now what happen I have not made any changes that I am aware of?

You might want to re-install.

How can I reinstall it without redoing the whole think. I did not install the original hack so if you can walk me through how or what file I need to re-install

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.

I'm probably being stupid but when I try to add this to my PM's, I can't find any the locations to put the first bit of code.. for the javascript.. I did figure out whre to put the button so that appears but when I click it, I get a js error in my status bar and nothing happens..

What's the step by step to add spellcheck to PM's??

One-Take

BTW, Safari Doesn't load the spell checker.

bump...

So changes B and C go into pm_newpm.

Excellent Tamarian!!

Got it all working, just excellent! Thanks so much for doing this! I've been wanting spellcheck on my board for ages, this is just great, working fine and seems not to push server load too badly..

THANKS!!
