vB Spell :: Spell Checker in WYSIWYG and Standard Modes
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
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: HTML Code:
</head>
HTML Code:
<script src="vbspell.js"></script> HTML Code:
$navbar HTML Code:
<form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow" action="vbspell.php"> <input type="hidden" name="spell_formname" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="spell_fieldname" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value=""> </form> HTML Code:
<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[save_changes]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" /> <input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_changes]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" /> HTML Code:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$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: HTML Code:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qrform', '$editorid', '2');" />
HTML Code:
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="this.form.clickedelm.value = this.value" />

I needed to install this for a client but I noticed that the posbit_edit didn't work.
The reason why it doesn't work is because the vbspell script checks for form name "vbform". The post_edit form doesn't use this 'name'. In fact, I don't think it has a name. Anyway, the fix is to find the array of form objects within the page. ie. how many <form> objects are found before the postbit_edit form. In a default vbulletin style, the number is 3 ... at least that's what it was for me logged in as admin. So instead of... document.form["formname"] - uses defined form names we will have document.form[3] - uses refrence number within array If it doesn't work with '3' check with another number. I can't test this on client site as a registered member so if someone can test and confirm this I would appreciate it. Thanks Well, here's the fix: HTML Code:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onclick="spellCheck('3', '$editorid', '2');" />
Check to see if field exist before ALTERing a table. For example, user table - if field exist ALTER will fail; thus, it may leave someone with missing fields GREAT JOB |

Princeton: Works like a charm. Much thanks!
Tamarian: Any reason why the install script needs to be re-run after running a vBulletin update? And how much of the install script actually needs to be re-run? I'd rather avoid having to re-install the dictionary each time I run an update, since we are often adding a number of words/phrases that aren't already there as they are discovered and would like to be able to keep these customizations. |

You can run the steps until the dictionary step, which does not need to be re-run. |

I couldn't figure out how to get past step 5 for the life of me. I was desperate,so what I ended up doing was looking at the last word in the VBspell table, then going to the dictionary.dic file and copied the words after that one all the way down. Pasted it into a new file, named it dictionary.dic and uploaded it over the old one.Then ran step 5 again. It loaded the rest of the words and the install finished. Works great now.
