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With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.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

If you could make a point system, that would just deduct points from your score for every time you mispelled a word, I would love you!

Is this working on the latest version of vB for anyone right now?

I'm getting this error when attempting to use the actual vbspell function:

Code:

  Database error in vBulletin 3.6.x:

I am getting this SQL error when trying to upload the SQL files into the database using myPhP

#1226 - User 'username' has exceeded the 'max_updates' resource (current value: 20000)

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

I have it working with 3.6.7 PL1 right now. I had to modify the product-spellvb.xml file as mentioned elsewhere to keep it from dropping the vbspell table after creating it. After that, it works like a charm.

My guess is that you both failed to modify the product-spellvb.xml file as mentioned in this post. The new table gets created and then the old table gets dropped. Unfortunately, if the new table and old table are named the same thing (because of the was the install script works) you end up deleting the vbspell table right after you create it.

Take a look at the instructions in this post. I think they will help you out.

gizmo4321 · #**300** 05-24-2007, 04:06 AM

This mod seems to be a bit problematic on vBulletin 3.5.4. In particular, the install stops at about 97%. In order to fix this, you have to edit the following line in the product-spellvb.xml file:

Code:

               <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

change to this:

Code:

                <plugin active="1">

(vB 3.5 has no idea of 'executionorder' for plugins)

Even with this change, it doesn't show up in the advanced editor, only the quick editor and the edit post editor (and you have to make a template mod for the quick editor). To get it into the advanced post editor, you have to edit the 'editor_toolbar_on' template, and make the change mentioned in this post.

Hope this helps someone else.

Hi,

Is it possible to use this mod for other languages? Our forums run on Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks,
Gabriel.
