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

I have added the following code in the usercp_shell

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.

Edit this in vbspell.js:

You have steps A and B covered. For step C, just added it after the submit/preview buttons on the newpm template.

Ah thank you that did the trick.

Great response time I might add.

***"Upgrade" after having installed vB Spell***

If you want french phrases in admincp, uninstall first vBspell with the original vbspell_install.php
Si vous avez pr?c?demment install? vB Spell avec le fichier original, vous devez d?sinstaller le script avec le m?me fichier. Puis t?l?charger l'archive fran?aise et proc?der ? la r?installation

Cool :up: I've linked to it from the first post.

SQL file for the dictionary is no longer posted in the 3.0.7 version or here. Anyone have a copy so I can get this working without messing around with my php variables?

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

Here it is.

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 :)

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?

Re-run the installation script, except for the last step (installing dictionary), and let me know if it still doesn't work.

Hi,

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

Thanks,

Jeff Smith

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.

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).

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

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?

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

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

*clicks install

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:

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.

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 :(

Someone got a German dictionary?

Thanks!

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.

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

very nice! now the members of my site can stop making fun of the poor guy with bad spelling. :D :D :D

I installed this and it went great for a while and then one day when I went to click on the spell check it popped up the window as usual but the window was blank. I checked all the templates and they appear to still be in order... any ideas? any specific places I should look?

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

Did you try re-running the install script (except the last step for dictionary). This fixed it for a few in the previous page.

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.

Thanks

So how come I can't find </head> in any of my templates? Has something changed?

Okay I'm having an issue when I click spell check it opens a window full of php gibberish, any idea's folks?

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.

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. I hope you don't moonlight in the support industry there guy!

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.
