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" />

When I am logged in as a mod or admin the spell checker works great.
When I am logged in as a regular member I get this:

Any thoughts on how to solve this one.

I had it working fine in Beta 3, but not that I'm on Gold, I can't seem to get it to work or reinstall for that matter

I upgraded to 3.6 today and simply added the template code above and it works fine for me. I never uninstalled it when upgrading.

You are welcome to check it out...

here are some recommended changes for this template modification (i edited the quoted text)

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

Code installation
Put

<script type="text/javascript" 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><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling(null)"><img onclick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" 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="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
		<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_spelling(null)"><img onclick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" src="$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 will make the code XHTML 1.0 Transitional
it will also make it so when you hover your mouse over the image it changes colors like the normal buttons, and still works when you click on it without opening the iespell dialog

*note*
this was tested on 3.6, but should still work on 3.5
P.S. fresh installing into 3.6 took some time (the installer needed lots of tweaking) and i still dont have my ACP working
it shows the fields and whatnot but not the text that tells me what im editing

I think I'll hold off for a bit on this and see if it gets ported to 3.6. Too bad vB coulnd't make this a default thing somehow, I mean forums are based around typing and words.

I get this Db error when trying to install it on a v3.6 forum

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0:

Invalid SQL:
