New Posting Features - vB Spell

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With the release of 3.6.x the installer stopped working for fresh installs and the template changes were considerably out of date, tamarian gave me permission to release a 3.6.x version with updates.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

		<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('3', '$editorid', '2');" src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/spelling.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[check_spelling]" /></div></td>

Switched to product/plugin based installer.

I did the install and it went ok, but I don't see the spell check button. Does the install modify newreply template. Mine is not modified. Usergroup permissions look ok. Does anyone know the code which needs to be in the newreply template for the button to show up

Well I see it under my plug ins, but don't see the spell ckeck on the forum. It says that something was wrong with my database at the bottom? Do I need to edit it somehow?

[bashy]

Ok i have done the plugin and removed the part from the functions.php

I aint reinstalled this yet though...
I did have the menu control hack (extra navbar buttons) showing above the navbar untill i do this delete from the functions and create the plugin..
the buttons (top buttons) only show on the forumhome template, no other.

Any ideas on this 1 please?

to

if(strpos($filename, $item) === false || strpos($userinfo['location'], $item) === false){ $mkp = $mkp; } else { $mkp = "no"; }

*updated in original post*

that should keep the portal on your pages but not show it on the spell checker

as for the uninstall stuff, make sure your templates for editor_toolbar_on, postbit_quickedit, and showthread_quickreply are reverted

Just tried adding the lpp messenger to the plugin like below
It still shows the portal sides though in the messenger popup

Do i need to add .php to this 1 lpp_messenger

Actually i have removed the bit i added cause the messenger aint working, with it removed it still dont work.
I trnued off the plugin that i just created from your advise and it works now....

Any ideas or is this getting too complicated now?

$holdmkp[] = "lpp_messenger_sent";
$holdmkp[] = "lpp_messenger_write";
$holdmkp[] = "lpp_messenger_read";
$holdmkp[] = "lpp_messenger_popup";
$holdmkp[] = "lpp_messenger";
$holdmkp[] = "vbspell";
$mkp = "yes";
 
foreach ($holdmkp as $id => $item) {
    if(strpos($filename, $item) === false || strpos($userinfo['location'], $item) === false){ $mkp = $mkp; } else { $mkp = "no"; }
}
 
if ($mkp = "yes") {
//added from MKportal
define ( 'IN_MKP', 1 );
require_once "../mkportal/include/VB/vb_out.php";
$output = mkportal_board_out($output);
//end added
}

When I try to upload using the Plug-in & Product System I get this message:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in E:\inetpub\vhosts\nacellphoneforums.com\httpdocs\i ncludes\class_core.php on line 354

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I have used this plugin for 3.5.x for quite some time and love it. I installed this, no problems, and cant seem to fin the spell check button. Am I retarded? If it is the default check spelling button, it doesnt work

the screenshots have a picture of the editor with a spell check button in the top right corner, it's not a submit button anymore
