PHPSpell for vBulletin3 WYSIWYG and Standard mode

Intro: PHPSpell uses a MySQL based disctionary and requires no additional tools than your standard PHP/MySQL setup. One draw back to this hack is that while it works with vBulletin in WYSIWYG mode, the popup window will still display html and vBCode tags. But the advantages are numerous, such as the "learn" capability and the admin tool.

There is another hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=65737 for PungoSpell that supports WYSIWYG mode disply on the spell check popup window. It has less features than PHPSpell, but it supports WYSIWYG display. Check it out, and compare which one is best for your forum.

Credit PHPSpell Was written for PHPBB, and then expanded to work for all major forum software, including vB2 and vB3. Due to vB3's WYSIWYG mode, PHPSpell only supports standard mode. This hack will allow it to work for both standard and WYSIWYG.

If you like this software, please click the PayPal button on the Author's site, so they'll add more features. Their future plans so far include:

Quote:

* PHPBB Template integration
* Other Languages (Currently supports English & Russian)
* Finish Language support so that hardcoded output is stored in language files
* Ability to delete Learned Words for the end user
* Ability for Admin to View/Edit/Delete words in installed dictionaries
* Ability for Admin to export Dictionaries
* Ability for end user to choose which Dictionary/Thesaurus Site to use
* Ability for end user to be able to change which Language to use
* Ability for end user to change # of words to find.
* Ability for Integrated Dictionary/Thesaurus
* Other Program Integration

Demo: http://www.master-technology.com/demos/spell/index.php

What this hack does This hack modifies the PHPSpell software package from PHPSpell to allow spell checking on vBulletin for both modes, WYSIWYG and standard mode.

Note: You will see tags like <br> and others in WYSIWYG and BBCode in standard mode. Edit the config file to ignore them. This happens in both WYSIWYG mode, and in standard mode. It will show the tags, but it will not spell check them. This hack does not add new features to the spell checker, it just makes it work, as designed, for vB3 in both WYSIWYG and standard mode.

Instructions

1. Download the attached file, and unpack into a new directory called "spelling" below your forum directory.

2. Edit the config file "spell_config.php" and enter your forum database username and password.

3. Find a dictionary and upload it to the "spelling" directory. A copy is provided in the zip file. PHPSpell's site has a couple of dictionaries for download: http://www.master-technology.com/dem...l/download.php

4. Run "spell_admin.php" from your browser (URL/spelling/spell_admin.php) to create the dictionary datanbase table. When done, delete this file and the dictionary file.

5. You might want to modify the css files to have the look and feel of your forum and colours.

6. The rest is template edits for each template where you'd like to have the spell checker. For example:

newreply template

Find

Code:

</head>

Add above

Code:

<script language='javascript' src='spelling/spellmessage.js'></script>

Find the submit and preview buttons:

Code:

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

Add below:

Code:

<if condition="DOTOOLBAR!=2">
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>
</if>

And repeat the same steps for other templates like newthread etc.

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL just add the first change here in above the </head section. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature.
editpost
Calendar Templates: calendar_edit
New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread
Modify User Options Templates: modifysignature (add the the first change in USERCP_SHELL)
Private Message Templates: pm_newpm (add the the first change in USERCP_SHELL)

I may have missed a few, so let me know.

7. If it doesn't work, run the file "spell_diags.php" from your browser, it will test your setup and report any problems.

Enjoy

Is not working OK in wysiwyg

The spellchecker add tags like : <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> to the text

RE: HTML tags like <br>, add them in the config file to ignore.

Note, this happens in both WYSIWYG mode, and in standard mode. It will show the tags, but it will not spell check them.

hmm its not what i had expected then :S
anyone got the if condition to make it only work for standard editor then coz parsing html will only confuse users

i used

HTML Code:

   
   <input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
 	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
   <else />
   <input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
 	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="window.open('http://www.spellcheck.net','spellchecker','statusbar=no,menubar=no, toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=647, 	height=391'); return false;"/>
   </if>

instead of

HTML Code:

<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="1" />
 	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('1');"/>
 <else />
 <input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
 	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="window.open('http://www.spellcheck.net','spellchecker','statusbar=no,menubar=no, toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=647,  	height=391'); return false;"/>
 </if>

because i wanted to compensate for the lack html stripping from spellchecker
this way both parties get to use a spell checker
otherwise i was planning to remove the spell checker for wyziwyg editor users altogether

Does anyone have this working? I have yet to try it out, but by lookin at how small the word list size is I do not see how it could be to powerful.

i have it working at my site
check it using test as username and password

it is quite powerful in respect of having a thesaurus aswell
and you can add ur own words to it
even though that kind of negates the reason to use the spell checker
oh well we can't win em all :P

ps if u visit my site use both the standard editor and the wyziwyg both spell checkers are different

The conditional is already there

Just remove the "else" part:

Code:

<else />
<input type="hidden" name="toolbar" value="2" />
	<input type="button" class="button" name="spellcheck" value="SpellCheck" accesskey="c" tabindex="1" onclick="openspell('2');"/>

insanctus · #18 06-01-2004, 07:04 PM

Looks cool I guess I will try it out later on my site.

thanks but i decided to change the spellchecker for wyziwyg instead of removing the option altogether
