vB Spell :: Spell Checker in WYSIWYG and Standard Modes

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:

</head>

Add before:

<script src="vbspell.js"></script>

B. Find: (or anywhere in the body)

$navbar

Add after:

<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:

		<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:

<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:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qrform', '$editorid', '2');" />

Right after this (also in showthread):

			<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):

		<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

After this:

		<input type="button" class="button" tabindex="1" accesskey="p" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" id="{$editorid}_adv" />

Apparently after it includes global.php it dies...

Any help?:surprised:

Damn, that's fahny! :knockedout:

Is it only me or does the hack not functioning properly on the quick post edit template? I tried it on my board by typing something that is wrong into the quick edit box... and when I did a spell check, it just said that "spell check is complete". Anything that I am missing here?

[Kihon Kata]

I installed this last year, but never clicked install. WTF uhm Hi

Hey, I noticed that the ZIP says "vBSpell 0 9 12" but when I downloaded it, the version at the top of the php files say "v0.9.7"

Am I seeing something strange here with version differences?

I've had this same problem (and I believe I reported it somewhere above in this thread) -- and have found no way to work around it. It just doesn't work in the quick post edit window. I've found it best not to provide it there in the templates; so there's no spell check button on the Quick Edit in-line editor (it's always available to users who click 'Go advanced' for the full editor).

It would be nice if this bug could be fixed, though.

[Zowners]

I get that same error, except after it says the spell check is complete, it erases the text in the messagebox.

I also get an error in edit post. I did A B and C from the top because it doesn't say otherwise. When I click the Check Spelling button it just doesn't open and I get the error icon at the bottom left of internet explorer.

Just installed and everything seems to work well

[user02934123123]

Seems this hack doesn't work properly on vB 3.6b1. I've just attemped a fresh install of the hack on my vb 3.6b1 test board, and on step 1 of the vbspell_install.php script, received the following DB error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0 Beta 1:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO settinggroup (grouptitle, displayorder, volatile) VALUES ('vbspell', '999', '0');

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry 'vbspell' for key 1
Error Number : 1062
Date : Monday, June 12th 2006 @ 10:55:55 AM
Script : http://.../admincp/vbspell_install.p...install&step=1
Referrer : http://.../admincp/vbspell_install.php

When can we expect a fix so that vbSpell works with 3.6?

[danhaga]

Im attempting to install this mod but having trouble. When the installer gets to step 5 it takes a long time and than pops up a window asking me if i want to download the install file.... any ideas?

No, maybe not.

If an internet explorer user posts a message with a smiley in it, then spell checks the message from within the preview window their post ends up with < img>< /img> at the end of it.

I've just modified the installation process. I find it easier.

Code installation
Put

<script src="vbspell.js"></script>

at the end of your headinclude template.

Put

<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>

at the end of your header template.



Link to the dictionnary

editor_toolbar_on:

Find

            <if condition="is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('mac')">
                <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

                <td onclick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');"><div class="imagebutton"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>

postbit_quickedit AND showthread_quickreply :

Find

    <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

        
        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
        <td onclick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');"><div class="imagebutton"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>

What does it do ?
It replaces vB spell check with this one. I'm so happy it works with french language

Precision : i've got vB Gold Version

This is a better alternative ... but it loses the mouseover hover colour for some reason

[danhaga]

Ok I need help...

My install gets stuck at Step 5: Load the dictionary. After taking what seems like too long a pop-up appears (see attachment)

I went ahead with the install and added the buttons. Everything seems to work and function just fine but it tells me that a lot of words are wrong which really are not so Im assuming its just not seeing those words in the dictionary because of my error during the install.

Anyone have any suggestions

[danhaga]

Still looking for help with the above problem... thanks
