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With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.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>

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.

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)

I'll be darned! That *does* make it pop over instead of popping under! YAY!
now... I can't find where to add the button to the quick reply... anybody know where that template is located?

First and foremost... BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING ANY HACK!

1. Post 105 - Fix photopost / review post issues
2. Post 198 - Fix hiding pop-up window issues.
3. Post 135 - Recomended for all other issues - Check your mysql tables to see if vbspell exists. If it doesn't, uninstall the product then refer to this post.

If you run into any errors after item 3, revert to the backup you made before installing this hack. Don't have a back-up? That's too bad.

By the way, nice hack! Clicked Install!

		<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />

under this add:

Code:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

Best of all, no more hidding windows, it pops up as it should

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=vbspell

That was some quality info right there...

Did it and it works great...

If this place used their own "Thank You" hack, you'd be gettin' one right now...

Thank you!...:nervous:

To add the spell check button to the quick reply, simply search for this phrase in..

showthread templete find:

Code:

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="clickedelm = this.value" />

Below this add:

Code:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qrform', '$editorid', '2');" />

You now have a spell check button on quickreply that works as it should.

Hope that helps

The edits I posted will fix your problem, I removed the link to keep down confusion.

Thank you

If your still trying to use the button at the top you will still have the issue, thats why I decided to add the spell check button at the bottom where it should be, with the other buttons. IMO this looks much better and my members have no trouble finding it to use. Hope that explains it better.

To also add the spell check button to your go advanced options, edit your postbit_quickedit templete.

Find:

Code:

<input type="button" class="button" tabindex="1" accesskey="r" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" id="{$editorid}_adv" />

Below add:

Code:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

Thanks for these posts, I hadn't even thought of putting the button back

The method you posted for newreply/newthread for for pm_newpm (didn't check the exact code, but right after the preview button). I did add the 'accesskey="l"', so that users could use Alt-L to pop it up too.

Thanks again,

baze

If you would like to have a spell check button for your users to use with their PMs, simply edit your pm_newpm templete.

Find:

Code:

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[preview_message]" accesskey="r" name="preview" tabindex="1" />

Below this add:

Code:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

Now you and your users can check the spelling in your PM's

The code is different for the 3.5.4, thats why I went ahead and posted the correct code to find in 3.6.2.
