vB Spell :: Spell Checker in WYSIWYG and Standard Modes · **Released**: 07-13-2005

A 3.6 version by cynix2 is posted here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=124578

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: Many of you liked PungoSpell, but didn't like recompiling PHP for it. Many liked PHPSpell, but didn't like the lack of WYSIWYG support and browser compatibility. vB Spell solved both problems, I hope, by combining the best of each.

Features:
o Supports most recent versions of browsers. Tested on IE, Firefox, Mozilla/Netsacpe, Opera and Konqueror (Konqueror implies Safari, but please confirm Mac folks)
o Learn Feature uses cookies, so it won't increase the database size
o Admin panel options
o Works in WYSIWYG toolbar, Standard toolbar, and no toolbar
o Can be added in full edit mode, quick edit and quick reply.
o Skips quoted text and other tags (PHP, code, etc.)
o Usergroup permisisons
o Template based interface, and uses your default style.
o Link buttons (Thesarus and Lookup) with links to Merriam Webster's online thesarus and dictionary links with the suggestion for misspelled words.

Installation:
Note: There is a french version of vB Spell, by cclaerhout posted here

1. Upload files and run vbspell_install.php
2. Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vB Spell and edit your usergroup permisisons.
3. Template edits: (see alternative method, if you don't mind removing the ieSpell button made by vB : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=48)

For each template where you would like to add a vB Spell, do the following edits (Example: editpost, newreply, newthread, etc.)

A. Find:

HTML Code:

</head>

Add before:

HTML Code:

<script src="vbspell.js"></script>

B. Find: (or anywhere in the body)

HTML Code:

$navbar

Add after:

HTML Code:

<form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow" action="vbspell.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:

HTML Code:

		<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[save_changes]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
		<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_changes]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />

Add below:

HTML Code:

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

Other templates:

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add A before the </head section and B after it. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature.
editpost
Calendar Templates: calendar_edit
New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread

Quick reply: . Put change A and B in showthread, as the rest, and use this for step C:

HTML Code:

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

Right after this (also in showthread):

HTML Code:

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

For quick edit in postbit_quickedit, use this for step C (A and B are in showthread):

HTML Code:

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

After this:

HTML Code:

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

I attempted to complete the 5th step twice without the @, now where can I find that HTTP log you are talking about?

/me feels like a complete n00b

Did you get any errors? Did you try a different browser?

The error log is usually in the /var/log/http directory, which your host may not allow access to.

No I didn't get any errors but I didn;t try a different browser also.
I'll try IE now altough I doubt it'll help
I have no such directory in my host! So its either on a different one or I don't have access to it...
So if it fails with IE too (and I am about certain that it will) what can we do?

Lea Verou · #**125** 10-05-2005, 09:37 PM

I tried on IE, it was slightly different cause I was seeing the progress of the progressbar (in ff it went from 0 to about 40% instantly and then stopped) and also I got a "Cannot find server or DNS Error" after it stopped loading!!

I can't do anything. If your server cannot run the script, it's truely out of my hand.

Can't I somehow give them something to import in the database like we said yesterday? Please...!

Yes but how can I do it in greek??
If I wanted english spell check I'd import the included dictionary, which would for sure be ok with the host's ettings

Damn greek language!

Not a bad idea.

After the first import portion, you need to remove or comment out the code the deletes the vbspell table.

Find this in the install script:

PHP Code:


			
$query['new'][] = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vbspell";
$query['new'][] = "CREATE TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell (
  word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY word (word),
  KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM";

Replace with this:

PHP Code:


			
/*
$query['new'][] = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS vbspell";
$query['new'][] = "CREATE TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vbspell (
  word varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  sound varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY word (word),
  KEY sound (sound)
) TYPE=MyISAM";
*/

And just run the dictionary step.

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