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" />

History:

vB 3.6 is now in release candidate stage, which means the central coding is complete and there will be no major changes between the current RC code and that of the gold release.

Can we now please have an update on when we can expect a 3.6 compatible version of vbSpell? I'm hopeful it can be rather soon, so that we can migrate up to 3.6 on our systems (which we don't want to do without a spell checker); but there have as yet been no responses to any queries here about the upgraded version of the hack.

Many thanks.

I'm having a problem with vb spell truncating the post. If the error is in the left of the message (as the attachment shows, it truncates that side), and if the error is on the right it truncates that side.

I also noticed it does a very poor job of catching misspelled words.

It missed:
"optinal" (optional)
"stritly" (strictly)
"explan" (explain)

It did catch:
havn't (haven't)

Is there a better dictionary or is that the problem?

I'm new at this so this question is a dumb one, but something I have to know.

1. Upload files and run vbspell_install.php

How do I run vbspell_install.php? It's all uploaded but I must be overlooking something.

Thanks,

Domokun

Come on, not one person knows how to run vpspell_install.php? It's a simple question.

Thanks again,

Domokun

Open your browser up and enter in the location URL of where you have vbspell_install.php located.

http://www.yourdomain.com/vbspell_install.php

or

http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/vbspell_install.php

When you load that page you will see the installation and just follow the instructions.

Sweet, thanks!!!

Err... Might want to give an alternative to break down the dictionary install into little pieces. My host has this max number of SQL per hour (to prevent denial of service attacks) and it "puked" at 24%

User kkk has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 50000)

PS: My spell checker is up, I got my install taken care by splitting the dictionary into 5 parts and runing vbspell_install 5 times at 1 hour intervals

ACK!!! I must be going nuts! I try the location but it doesn't work. What is it I'm missing here?! When I check the location I get sftp:// and the rest of it. When I load that up on the page, it doesn't work. So I simply try what you mentioned and I entered the url of the forum and finish it as you say: /forum/vbspell_install.php... Still nothing. I even tried: /forums/vbspell_install.php... nothing. Even /vbspell_install.php without the forum part and still nothing.

Did I upload this thing in the wrong spot?! It's in the admincp.. But I just can't get a url. Help me please!

Thanks again

Domokun
