Spell checker: PHPSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode
PHPSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode Intro: PHPSpell uses a MySQL based disctionary and requires no additional tools than your standard PHP/MySQL setup. One draw back to this hack is that while it works with vBulletin in WYSIWYG mode, the popup window will still display html and vBCode tags. But the advantages are numerous, such as the "learn" capability and the admin tool. There is another hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=65737 for PungoSpell that supports WYSIWYG mode disply on the spell check popup window. It has less features than PHPSpell, but it supports WYSIWYG display. Check it out, and compare which one is best for your forum. Credit PHPSpell Was written for PHPBB, and then expanded to work for all major forum software, including vB2 and vB3. Due to vB3's WYSIWYG mode, PHPSpell only supports standard mode. This hack will allow it to work for both standard and WYSIWYG. If you like this software, please click the PayPal button on the Author's site, so they'll add more features. Their future plans so far include: Quote:
What this hack does This hack modifies the PHPSpell software package from PHPSpell to allow spell checking on vBulletin for both modes, WYSIWYG and standard mode. Note: You will see tags like <br> and others in WYSIWYG and BBCode in standard mode. Edit the config file to ignore them. This happens in both WYSIWYG mode, and in standard mode. It will show the tags, but it will not spell check them. This hack does not add new features to the spell checker, it just makes it work, as designed, for vB3 in both WYSIWYG and standard mode. Instructions 1. Download the attached file, and unpack into a new directory called "spelling" below your forum directory. 2. Edit the config file "spell_config.php" and enter your forum database username and password. 3. Find a dictionary and upload it to the "spelling" directory. A copy is provided in the zip file. PHPSpell's site has a couple of dictionaries for download: http://www.master-technology.com/dem...l/download.php 4. Run "spell_admin.php" from your browser (URL/spelling/spell_admin.php) to create the dictionary datanbase table. When done, delete this file and the dictionary file. 5. You might want to modify the css files to have the look and feel of your forum and colours. 6. The rest is template edits for each template where you'd like to have the spell checker. For example: newreply template Find Code:
</head> Code:
<script language='javascript' src='spelling/spellmessage.js'></script> Code:
<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" /> Code:
<if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2"> Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are: USERCP_SHELL just add the first change here in above the </head section. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature. editpost Calendar Templates: calendar_edit New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread Modify User Options Templates: modifysignature (add the the first change in USERCP_SHELL) Private Message Templates: pm_newpm (add the the first change in USERCP_SHELL) I may have missed a few, so let me know. 7. If it doesn't work, run the file "spell_diags.php" from your browser, it will test your setup and report any problems. Enjoy |
Any screenshots?

I was hoping to see how it looked integrated into vb. ;)
|
can someone do a list of templates to insert this code into because newbies will not so easily be able to find the templates
ok i just did it so i'll do the above showthread_quickreply newthread newreply pm_newpm |
I have a meeting shortly so I'll be out of the loop for the rest of the afternoon. Will install it on my test board this evening though and post a few notes later. Cheers for this.

vB.org apparently won't let me uplaod them, as the upload hangs. Might be due to the size of the disctonary taking up all my space allowance.... However, the "integration" part will just show a "spell check" button, next to the "preview" button. The online demo listed will be identical, as it's a popup window. |

Thanks Tamarian :)

Big problem with the spellchecker
it seems to be picking up the html from the wyziwyg editor |
Is not working OK in wysiwyg :(
The spellchecker add tags like : <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> to the text :( |
RE: HTML tags like <br>, add them in the config file to ignore.
Note, this happens in both WYSIWYG mode, and in standard mode. It will show the tags, but it will not spell check them. This hack does not add new features to the spell checker, it just makes it work, as designed, for vB3 in both WYSIWYG and standard mode. |
hmm its not what i had expected then :S
anyone got the if condition to make it only work for standard editor then coz parsing html will only confuse users i used HTML Code:
HTML Code:
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" /> this way both parties get to use a spell checker otherwise i was planning to remove the spell checker for wyziwyg editor users altogether |

check it using test as username and password it is quite powerful in respect of having a thesaurus aswell and you can add ur own words to it even though that kind of negates the reason to use the spell checker oh well we can't win em all :P ps if u visit my site use both the standard editor and the wyziwyg both spell checkers are different :) |

Just remove the "else" part: Code:
<else /> |
Looks cool I guess I will try it out later on my site.

<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" /> |
News: I will shortly release another spell checker hack, based on PungoSpell which will support standard and WYSIWYG modes, and displays WYSIWYG in the popup windows without the tags.
One draw back to PungoSpell, is that it will require you to have PSPELL compiled into PHP. Some have this by default, but some don't. Another draw back is the lack of the "learn" button. I initially worked on it and had it tested, but decided to use PHPSpell for the added features. . But since I modified it already, I'll just clean it and release it, so those who prefer full WYSIWYG display can use it. Stay tuned. |
PungoSpell hack is now available:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65737 It has a better WYSIWYG display, with no tags shown. Enjoy. |
can i just say that all those using my test account for checking the spellchecker please restrict ur posting to the test forums :)
|
I added this hack to my forums, but cannot get it to ignore the <P </P tags even though I don't have html enabled on the forums, but did set it to true in the config file. TIA for any help

Fantastic hack, sir!

Here is something to chew on. I tried to install the spell checker program, but in my error.log If get this message.
[Mon Jun 28 10:28:18 2004] [error] PHP Warning: main(../config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/home/domains/byuboyz.com/www/htdocs/forums/spelling/spell_config.php on line 197 [Mon Jun 28 10:28:18 2004] [error] PHP Warning: main(): Failed opening '../config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/domains/byuboyz.com/www/htdocs/forums/spelling/spell_config.php on line 197. In the web page I get this error message, You need to fill in the Database Information in the Spelling Configuration File. Where is this file called config.php. |
Quote:
The config file is spell_config.php or something like that. |
Not to a smart AS$ but if you look in the spell_config.php on line 197 it refers to ../config.php. Where is that file located. It does not live in the forums directory nor does it live in the root of my website.

Raptor: Did you install the original PHPSpell code from their site? That won't work... You need to download the hack files from the first post, as it contains the code changes to make it work for vBulletin in both editing modes. The original code only works for standard mode, and it contains the config error you listed :) |
I have installed this on two boards, using cut and paste.
For some reason, on one of my boards the spellcheck buttons will not apear, despite doing the same cut and paste. the boards are http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq (spellcheck button apears) and http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq2 (spellcheck button will not apear) Or am I missing an easy Vbulletin switch? |
Quote:
The buttons are plain HTML. If they don't appear, then you have not updated the template correctly. I can't think of any other reason. |
I did have a mistake... (the script tag was bellow head not above head) but it still does not work, even with clean fix. I do have Hack Traking Log on that board and not the other... I wonder if that is it...
|
Learn do not work when word contains
's at the end like it's |
Is this compatible with Firefox 0.9?
I have installed it, and it works marvellously with explorer, but the SpellCheck button doesn't open a new window on Firefox. Yes, I do have popups enabled for the domain. :) |

The only question I have is, in the showthread_quickreply I do not have a </head> tag
I do have a </thead> tag though, is that where I need to make the modification? |
