vB Spell · **Released**: 08-20-2006

What this does: vB Spell allows you to install a dictionary (English dictionary included) into your MysQL database, and provide a spell checking window that works in both of vB's editor modes, standard and WYSIWYG.

Background: This mod was originally developed by tamarian for vB 3.5.x. With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.
This version should work with both 3.5.x and 3.6.x series.

Features:

Supports most recent versions of browsers. Tested on IE, Firefox, Mozilla/Netsacpe, Opera and Konqueror (Konqueror implies Safari, but please confirm Mac folks).
Learn Feature uses cookies, so it won't increase the database size.
Admin panel options.
Spell Check button appears anywhere there is a WYSIWYG Enhanced or Standard Editor Toolbar [includes quickreply but not quickedit].
Skips quoted text and other tags (PHP, code, etc.).
Usergroup permisisons.
Template based interface, and uses your default style.
Link buttons (Thesarus and Lookup) with links to Merriam Webster's online thesarus and dictionary links with the suggestion for misspelled words.

Installation:

Unzip main package.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum home directory.
Regular Install:
- Unzip dictionary-reg.zip.
- Upload DICTIONARY.DIC to your forum home directory.
Alternate Install
- Unzip dictionary-alt.zip.
- Import the SQL files to your database.
Import product-spellvb.xml.
Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vB Spell and edit your usergroup permisisons.
Template changes are now automatic. [accept for quickedit]

Q: What is the Alternate Install method for?
A: If you are having problems with the Regular Install (such as your dictionary import freezes at x%) then you should consider using the Alternate Install. If neither of these methods work for you then there might be an issue with your server host.

Upgrading:

Unzip main package.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum home directory.
Import product-spellvb.xml.

To manually force the quickedit template to work with this mod:
postbit_quickedit
Find

Code:

		<if condition="is_browser('ie')">
			<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
			<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>
		</if>

Replace with

Code:

		<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
		<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling(null)"><img onclick="spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');" src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>

History:
0.10.x NyNe versions
v0.10.3b - 06/22/07:
Compensated for an issue brought up in this post.
v0.10.3 - 06/22/07:
Added a check to the product installer so it would not remove the vbspell table after just having created it.
Added $vboptions[bburl] to all template code that asks for files (this *might* fix the PhotoPost issues - no promises).
v0.10.2b - 08/26/06:
Fixed error in product installer (removed table prefix).
Changed all <? to <?php for php5 compatibility.
v0.10.2a - 08/26/06:
Removed alt product installer.
Product installer included now checks for dictionary file, if dictionary file is not found it continues installing.
Product installer no longer drops dictionary table before installing.
v0.10.2 - 08/22/06:
vbspell template is now XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Fixed a version check for vbspell template (made compatible with 3.5.x).
vB Spell window should now open on top of other windows.
Removed table prefix for vbspell sql table (product installer includes code to remove old tables).
Included alternate installation method (Credit goes to Replicators for the SQL Install method).
v0.10.1 - 08/21/06:
Beta release for 3.6.x series.
Switched to product/plugin based installer.

0.9.x tamarian versions
v0.9.12 - 12/25/05:
Security fix for cases where you allow HTML posts and they contain malicious code (Credit goes to Brendan Donahue for finding the issue and alerting TechGuy, and to TechGuy for alerting me to it).
v0.9.11 - 11/02/05:
Fixes a bug with slashes in text.
v0.9.10 - 10/17/05:
Check for primary and secondary group for permission.
Bug fix for quoted words.
v0.9.9 - 09/13/05:
Bugfix for JS on IE with RC3.
v0.9.8 - 07/15/05:
Bugfix for JS code mismatch with template.
v0.9.7 - 07/14/05:
Initial release for vB 3.5 beta-4.

NOTE: The above section says NyNe versions, because I go by the name NyNe everywhere accept here.

Scrrenshots: (from tamarian's 3.0.7, but it's identical)

Well I see this is my list of plug ins, and everything looks right, but still no spell check?

I've been looking for a solution for an hour with no success - please, someone take pity on me and tell me what to do?

On edit - searched and found 3 things in vb_settings from a previous installation of vbSpell - there are three vbspell_ variables in vb_setting that need to be deleted before you import the product. I haven't tested yet but no more database errors; hopefully it worked!

On edit again - I spoke too soon.

Javascript errors, and it doesn't work.

Same thing for me.

Wewt Spellcheck.

trackpads · #**117** 09-05-2006, 08:59 PM

Anyone?

B3y0nd · #**118** 09-05-2006, 10:55 PM

I've been wanting to install this add-on for a long time, but it seems to have MAJOR integration issues with MANY members and very little support.

Pretty sad for such a promising script.

If the support gets better and the install process is made easier I don't see why this mod couldn't be Mod of the Month many times over.

I can't agree with you more.... I posted some bug problems a few weeks ago and have not heard from the developer once... great app, just very poor support.

Previous post:
Okay I've fully tested the newest version of vB Spell and confirmed that it does not work with Photopost v5.31 or Reviewpost v3.31. As long as this plugin is enabled, you do not get the message box (like the one I'm typing in right now) I've tested this on both a Mac (Safari and Firefox) and a PC using (IE and Firefox).

With the plugin turned on, it works great on all platforms mentioned above. I really hope this can be fixed so that it works with both Photopost and Reviewpost. I have both of these products installed on two of my websites.
N.E.O.S.M.U.T. Paintball and F/Stopmedia Photography

If the developer needs me to test a build later (if he/she decides to fix this issue), please feel free to contact be via PM. I'm eagerly awaiting a fix. Great Job so far!!!!

Sidewindr · #**120** 09-07-2006, 03:08 AM

Any chance of a UK English Dictionary?

I have the problem where the window pops up behind the main window and as soon as you click on ok for the spell check is complete dialogue it closes everything.

cygy2k · #**121** 09-07-2006, 09:21 PM

Is this dead? I think this should have been added to vB many versions ago. Since it wasn't, can somebody please get this up to snuff so we can all share in it's splendor?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
