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With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.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

Fixed error in product installer (removed table prefix).
Changed all <? to <?php for php5 compatibility.
v0.10.2a - 08/26/06:

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:

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)

To add the spell check button, do this to your modifysignature templete,
Find:

Code:

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

Below this add:

Code:

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

That should have your spell check buttons everywhere except for the Calendar, if anyone wants this and don't know how, let me know.

thank you in advance

I agree, this popup issue is a right pain in the arse. It is making a great hack an annoying one. If someone can actually fix it in the actual hack so that we can all perhaps to an update to fix the issue and keep the window open and on top of the page when you use the spell check. It gets lost in the nav bar at the bottom of the browser at present.

I don't know that it's something that can be fixed in the hack. The problem seems to have something to do with the javascript for the editor.

Playing around, I found a workaround for it popping under. In the vbspell_iframe.php file:

find this:

Code:

<body class="wysiwyg" onLoad="assignSelf(); window.parent.startsp();" id="theBody">

replace with:

Code:

<body class="wysiwyg" onLoad="assignSelf(); window.parent.startsp(); window.focus();" onblur="window.focus();" id="theBody">

It still pops under initially but then comes back to the top. Like I said, it's a workaround.

Yeah I am not a coder but I do notice that in my Squirrelmail email system, the spell check works in almost the same way and this script forces the spellcheck window to appear on top. Maybe someone who is a coder can take a look at this opensource code to see what they do?

I installed this and uploaded DICTIONARY.DIC to my forum home.

I tested the thread with various spelling errors, it gave no suggestions or change to words at all, even for words like churc (church), hly (holy), mke (make), etc.

I reuploaded the product and now I get db errors when clicking the spell icon

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.2:

SELECT word FROM vbspell WHERE word = 'test';

Does everyone having these popunder problems also use the advanced wysiwyg editor - or the standard editor? I've noted a lot of problems with the advanced and therefore don't use it - perhaps this might be a clue to the problem.

i did everything the way the directions said... uploaded all the vbspell and dictionary.dic to the forums home directory then installed the product and got this error:
