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With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.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>
History:
0.10.x NyNe versions
v0.10.3b - 06/22/07:
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.
Added $vboptions[bburl] to all template code that asks for files (this *might* fix the PhotoPost issues - no promises).
v0.10.2b - 08/26/06:
Fixed error in product installer (removed table prefix).
Changed all <? to <?php for php5 compatibility.
v0.10.2a - 08/26/06:
Removed alt product installer.
Product installer included now checks for dictionary file, if dictionary file is not found it continues installing.
Product installer no longer drops dictionary table before installing.
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:
Security fix for cases where you allow HTML posts and they contain malicious code (Credit goes to Brendan Donahue for finding the issue and alerting TechGuy, and to TechGuy for alerting me to it).
v0.9.11 - 11/02/05:
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)

This is the problem I'm having; my XML import dies at 60%.
But aren't the 10 manual SQL files a replacement to dictionary.dic? Are you saying that if I ran the 10 SQL queries (manual install) that I don't need to import the XML into my Products?

How will my board be setup to administrate this feature then?

Please advise.

i checked the coding under plugin manager, and found that "$vboptions[bburl]" didnt work for me. i just removed it, and changed it to "/community/vbspell.php". by the way, that error has to be corrected twice. once for "vbspell.js", and another for "vbspell.php".
you are the man!!!!!!!!!! that fixed everything :-)))))))))))

thanks so much

When installing, do not upload the DICTIONARY.DOC at all, just import the product, then run the sql files in phpmyadmin and you will be set.

Thanks Replicators; that worked.

Next struggle: After installing & configuring, I noticed that the Spell Check icon is only on my Quick Reply postbit, not full postbit.

Even on the QuickReply, it doesn't do anything when clicked.

I believe it is a problem with the chestnut style being not compatible with this version of vbulletin), and then I get a "vB Spell installation problem, please notify the webmaster." Has anyone experienced this problem?

And JirQUEST, is there anythign I need to do to the newreply.php page? I did a find on it, and could not find /vbspell.php anywhere on it... is this needed? Thanks agian.
I have the exact same problem. When the new window appears, it says there was an installation problem.

Help,

I followed the install as shown. I never see any import of the dictionary as others have taked about freezing. The icon is on the editor screen in vbulletin and the vspell option is in my admin setup, but clicking the spell check icon does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Note: I'm a rookie, take it easy on me

Thanks,

Bob

Installed but disabled until the popunder issue is resolved. It's a great mod but it's ruined when people don't realize the window is opened up in the background.

Hi, relative newbie here. I've installed this mod into my database directly adding the ten alternate SQL files directly into the SQL database through MYPHPADMIN software. They went thorugh just fine and successfully loaded. I then added the mod as per adminCP. I can see the vBspell option now in the vBulletin options and can alter them and save them as should be expected. It seems to have loaded into the vBulletin software just fine. Yet when I try and click on the icon, nothing happens. If I am using IE7, all I get is a small "error on page" message on the footbar in the lower left corner. This is the same problem Serafim described above. I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Using version 3.6.8. So if the issue is the popunder, has anyone addressed this yet then?

Jeriddian
