There's also a vB 3.5 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=83258

PungoSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode

Intro: PungoSpell supports WYSIWYG mode disply using DHTML on the spell check popup window. It uses PHP's buitin PSPELL module. Many have this already compiled in, but if not, it's easy to add.

What this hack does This hack modifies the PungoSpell software package from PungoSpell to allow spell checking on vBulletin for both modes, WYSIWYG and standard mode.

Change Log:

v1.6 December 25, 2005: 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)

v1.5. Minor bug fixes

v1.4
1. Fixed scrolling, so the spelling window will scroll to the next mis-spelled word.
2. Changed config defaults to allow the most common configuration. The "Learn" function is turned of by default. Make sure you test it before tunrning it on.
3. Re-worded comments on config options, hopefully they will now make sense.

v1.3
1. Created a new config file (pungo-spell-config.php) to avoid the need to edit checkspelling.php, which is a bit tricky with end of line characters.
2. Added an option to disable the learn feature. This may be needed if your aspell setup does not allow, or not properly setup, for personal wordlists.
3. The language is now defined in the config file as well.

v1.1:
1. Added a "Learn" button. This allows users to add words into the dictionary.
2. Restricted access to members only, with allowed usergroups definable in config file
3. Restrict user groups allowed to use the "Learn" feature. Configurable option.
3. Options to ignore quote blocks, code bloacks, and PHP blocks
4. Added buttons (Thesarus and Lookup) with links to Merriam Webster's online thesarus and dictionary links with the suggestion for misspelled words.
5. Added Quit and Done buttons. One to quite without saving, and one to save without going through the whole post for suggestions.
6. Fixed extra lines added for WYSIWYG paragraphs
7. Made it skip vBCode tags, so it won't spell check URL's

v1.0:
Initial version, . Identical to PungoSpell functionality, but adapted to handle vBulletins's WYSIWYG and standard mode.


Note:
There's another hack for spell checker for vBulletin3 using PHPSpell. You might want to compare both to decide which one you like best.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=65723

PHPSpell has a "learn" button, to allow adding new words to the dictionary, PungoSpell does not. PungoSpell has a better WYSIWYG display, while PHPSpell does not hide HTML and vBCode tags. So each one has it's advantages and disadvantages.

In a future release, I'll try to add a "learn" functionality to PungoSpell. (done)

Credit PungoSpell Is a free software using the MIT license. By default, it will work fine in standard mode. This hack will allow it to work for both standard and WYSIWYG.

Requirements: You will need to have PSPELL compiled into your PHP setup. Many have this by default. To find out if you already have it, check your PHP info from the vBulletin Admin Panel: Import & Maintenance > View PHP Info. Search for "pspell". If it's there, you're fine. If not, you can recompile PHP with the "--with-pspell" paramater.

From the readme file:

Quote:
What does it require?
---------------------

PHP 4.3.1 (http://www.php.net) or greater with Pspell support enabled.
If your system doesn't have pspell/aspell installed, see the pspell source page at
http://pspell.sourceforge.net to download it.

What browsers does it work with?
-------------------------------

Only "modern" browsers that support DOM level 2 (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/) are supported. MSIE 5.5+, Opera 7.2+, NS 6+ should work fine for you. Your milage may vary.
Demo: http://frigate.clemson.edu/local/pun...l/example.html

Bugs: Scrolling down to the misspelled word is not yet working.

Instructions

1. Download the attached file, and unpack into your main forum directory. Make sure the file "custom.pws" is writable by apache, otherwise the "Learn" function will not work.

2. It has English setup by default. If you want it to use any other language, it's easy. Just edit the config file "pungo-spell-config.php".

Change this line:

$my_lang = "en";

"en" stands for English. Change it to the code of the language you want. Like "fr" for French, for example. Make sure your system has the required dictionary. You see the dictionary config by typing "aspell config" at the command line, to see which dictionaries you have.

Also, in the file custom.pws, the first line reads something like:

personal_ws-1.1 en 0

You will need to change en to the language you use, like fr

3. Edit the config section in checkspelling.php to suit your needs:
[code]
// Config section
$my_lang = "en"; // set the language you want, make sure you have the correct aspell dictionary on your system

// Access restriction options
$allow_guests = 0; // Change to 1 if you allow guests to post and use the spell checker
$restrict_groups = 0; // Change to 1 to enable access restriction by group id
$allowd_groups = array (2, 5, 6); // usergroups who can access the spell checker

// Learn function options
$customwordlist = "custom.pws"; // make sure this file is readable by your apache user
$learn_enabled = 0; // set to 1 to enable the learn feature. Make sure you test first, to ensure your server setup allows this.
$restrict_learn_function = 0; // set to 1 if you want to restrict which usergroup id may add words to your dictionary.
$word_list_maintainers = array (2, 5, 6); // usergroups that are allowed to use the "Learn" feature
//

// Ignore options
$ignore_quotes = 1; // 1 means ignore the [QUOTE] block, 0 means spell check within quotes
$ignore_code = 1; // Same but for the
Code:
 tag
 $ignore_php = 1; 				// Same, but for the [PHP] tag 
 
 // end config section
4. Edit each template where you'd like to have the spell checker. For example:

newreply template

A. Find

Code:
</head>
Add above

Code:
<script src="spellcheck.js"></script>

B.
Add somewhere the followin (below $navbar for example)g:
Code:
   <form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow"
                    action="checkspelling.php">
                <input type="hidden" name="spell_formname" value="">
                <input type="hidden" name="spell_fieldname" value="">
                <input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">
             </form>
C. Find the submit and preview buttons:

Code:
		<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
 		<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />
Add below:
Code:
           <if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2">
           <input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
           <input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck( 'vbform',  'message', '1');">
           <else />
           <input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
           <input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck( 'vbform',  'WYSIWYG_HTML', '2');">
           </if>
And repeat the same steps for other templates like newthread etc.

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add the first change (A) 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 (A) in USERCP_SHELL) and the rest (B and C) here.


Quick reply

1
. Show Thread Templates: Put change (A) in showthread, and the rest (B and C) in showthread_quickreply

2.
Contributed by Boofo:

change:

<if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2">

to:

<if condition="$WYSIWYG!=2">

I may have missed a few templates, so let me know.

Trouble shooting:

1. If you get a spell check window that says "This is a test". This is most likely due to end of line characters caused by an editor. To resolve this, re-upload the original files with FTP in binary mode. When editing the config file, make sure you use an editor that does not add any end of line characters, such as "vi" or others.

2.
Learn doesn't work: Try this: Change the first line from custom.pws:

personal_ws-1.1 en 0

To:

personal_ws-1.1 english 0

en worked fine for me on Fedora and Gentoo, but I had to change to english on RHE.

-----

Enjoy

P.S. The two screenshots below show the spell check popup menu. One for standard mode, and one for WYSIWYG mode.

Do you have PSPELL and aspell installed? PSPELL needs to be compiled into your php.

Tamarian,
Everything works perfectly on my site except for the learn function. I tried changing the language as you (and a few others) suggested throughout this thread. I am wondering if the problem is because of something else. In your original thread, you mention to 'test' the learn function before turning it on. Exactly how do you do that? Any help would be great.

There are several ways of testing. The way I did it was through template conditionals so only admins can see the spell check buttons. This way you can test and fine tune all the options, and when done, remove the template conditionals, which in effect "releases" the option to the members.

Another way is to test it on a test forum on the same server, or better yet, on a home server, so you can remove/reinstall aspell and can change things until they work

Thanks Tamarian. That clears things up. Any other ideas as to why the learn function won't work? Anything else I should check? Again the spellchecking part works perfectly (once in a BLUE MOON I'll see the 'contact administrator' error, but that is rare), it is just that darn learning feature that I want to work sooo bad


EDIT: Tamarian, any idea how I can get the learn pop-up not to close? THe only reason I am asking is because on one occasion the thing did not close SUPER FAST and I was able to get a glimpse of the text in it. It said 'WARNING' and some other stuff, but it closed so quickly I didnt get the rest. ANy idea?

EDIT 2: Ugh, got it to work!! Forgot to set file permissions

On Boofo's site the Spell Check Button looks just like the other buttons.



Mine looks like this.



How do I get the buttons to look the same?

What do you have in your template for the spell check button?

I think using "class ="button"" should do it...
