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With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.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

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:

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)

Anyone know anything about importing from your server?

I can't seem to find the stuff I have put in my admincp?

steadicamop · #33 08-22-2006, 07:09 PM

Sorry - sussed out why it wasn't working correctly; I dumped the data into the DB first then installed the product - which wipes the table first, so removed everything I just uploaded!!

For anyone having problems getting the Dictionary into the database, try this:

http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php

It can dump very large sql files into the database in small chunks, very simple and works extremely well, and doesn't crash out your database!!

Cheers

Jason

Ahhh, o.k, didn't see that other file on my desktop the vb spell reg. got it now, but it says.................

@bashy
open ./includes/functions.php
find and remove

Code:

//added from MKportal
define ( 'IN_MKP', 1 );
require_once "../mkportal/include/VB/vb_out.php";
$output = mkportal_board_out($output);
//end added

create a new plugin on the 'global_complete' hook call it 'MK Portal' with the following code

Code:

$holdmkp[] = "vbspell";
$mkp = "yes";

foreach ($holdmkp as $id => $item) {
	if(strpos($filename, $item) === false || strpos($userinfo['location'], $item) === false){ $mkp = $mkp; } else { $mkp = "no"; }
}

if ($mkp = "yes") {
//added from MKportal
define ( 'IN_MKP', 1 );
require_once "../mkportal/include/VB/vb_out.php";
$output = mkportal_board_out($output);
//end added
}

if you have any other pages you dont want the sidebar on just add more lines ad the top like this

Code:

$holdmkp[] = "index";
$holdmkp[] = "showthread";

ect...
that SHOULD fix the problem with that portal

@deegan
you didnt upload the dictionary.dic file to your forum home directory
please do this first, THEN import the product
also make sure you've uploaded all the files from the main package as well (not just the dictionary)

So the dictionary. dic goes to home, not admincp?

cynix2 · #39 08-22-2006, 07:46 PM

@bashy
wait no the plugin above is wrong
change

Code:

if(strpos($filename, $item) === false || strpos($userinfo['location'], $item) === false){ $mkp = "yes"; } else { $mkp = "no"; }

to

Code:

if(strpos($filename, $item) === false || strpos($userinfo['location'], $item) === false){ $mkp = $mkp; } else { $mkp = "no"; }

*updated in original post*

that should keep the portal on your pages but not show it on the spell checker

as for the uninstall stuff, make sure your templates for editor_toolbar_on, postbit_quickedit, and showthread_quickreply are reverted

deegan · #40 08-22-2006, 07:54 PM

It appears to be working, thanks, I put it in the folder above admincp.

Should I erase the other dictionary files I put elsewhere, or does that matter?

cynix2 · #41 08-22-2006, 07:55 PM

@deegan
it wastes space, so i recommend you delete all *.dic files now that your installation is complete, but there is no need to remove them if you dont want to or dont feel comfortable doing it
