Spell Checker for vBulletin

I was searching for a replacement spell checker for use on my forums since spellchecker.net charges $150 for 10,000 uses. I found something called XDE Spellcheck, it's a nifty little applet.


Installation is quite simple..

First, you will need to modify the directories of where the applet code is on your server (the bold section in the code). Then add the code below to your style footer:

<!-- spell checking -->
<applet codebase="/spellchecker"
        code="net.xde.SpellChecker.SpellCheck.class"
        archive="xdespellchecker.jar, usenglish.jar"
        height="1"
        name="spellcheck"
        width="1"
        alt="Applet Not Supported"
>

<param name="name" value="spellcheck">
<param name="scriptable" value="true">
<param name="mayscript" value="true">
</applet>

<script language="JavaScript" src="/spellchecker/spellcheckcode.js"></script>
<!-- /spell checking -->

Second, add the following input button wherever you want to spell check a textbox called "message" within the "vbforum"

Then add the following wherever you want to spell check a textbox called "message" within form "vbform".

<input type="button" class="bginput" name="spell" value="Spell Check" accesskey="c" tabindex="5" onClick="SpellCheckFieldsLocal();">

In order for the spell checker to work you will need to download the vbSpell.zip and install it into a directory called spellchecker in your forum home.

XDE Spellcheck is no longer free I don't think. You need to pay US$100 for it. Any other ways of getting spell check for VB???

I found a spellcheck program that works great with vBulletin. Check out https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37398

Does anyone have this running besides the guy who started this thread?

I am with the other perosn, Where is "Step 2?" There is no designation of "message" or "VBForm"

I worked on this one way too long trying to get it to work to no avail. No matter what I have done I get errors on the page. This has been here since 2001, has anyone got it to work? If not, why is it in full releases?

I have it working. It was easy to install and it work fantastic. The latest version of the perl script can be downloaded at:
