Name: Spell Check 1.6

Original Authors: Bandit_1234, Anime-loo. Oh, and me.

Description: Lets you check for spelling mistakes in your post.

Link: ZIP File or MultiHack File

Demo: http://www.lkworld.com

Requirements: UBB™ 6.4.0 , Mod Wordlets Devkit , Modification CP Addon

Number of Downloads: [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/lk/num.php?s=spell64.zip,spell64.mhp[/img]

LK, just a sugguestion, fix the links in the file on your site, it points to:

http://www.multihack.com/lk/download.cgi?f=mods.zip

and

http://www.multihack.com/lk/download.cgi?f=modaddon64.zip

Both of which didn't work at 3:30p PST.

Hey LK, any clue what the code is to add spellcheck to the Quick Reply bar? I looked at previous posts on both hacks but they don't say which file to modify and I'm not sure if the code still works through 6.4 :x.

public_topic_page.pl
Find:find:

LK do the Mod Wordlets Devkit and the Modification CP Addon still work with 6.4?

Everything loaded fine but when I click the Spell Check button, a window opens but it is blank. No error just a blank window. I have the ubb_spell chmod at 755. Double checked the hacked code and it looks right...

Any thoughts or similiar problems?

Thanks and Happy New Year!!!

***edit***

I get the same thing with this error message:
Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./Modules . /usr/local/etc
/httpd/cgi-bin/ubb /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/ubb/Modules /usr/local/lib/perl5

3.

Ask your host to install LWP, URI and HTTP modules...

LK, thanks. Now I get this error:
Can't locate object method "post" via package "LWP::UserAgent" at /usr/local/etc
/httpd/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb_spell.cgi line 45.

It's because your host didn't install it well enough, I guess

***Nevermind, I went back and multihacked all of these mods and they appear to be working correctly now. I guess I missed something when doing them manually.***

I started getting this error after implementing the Spell Check/CP Addon and the ModWordlets.

It works fine until I make a post, but after that and I try to get into any forum I get the error.

Anyone have any idea where this may come from?

Where can one get these files?
Mod Wordlets Devkit and Modification CP Addon

They are linked in the first post - where it mentions the requirements.

Ed, a secret, their not always up either :x...

Hi Guys,
I checked my server modules and these three are installed. Does the HTTP module have to be just "HTTP"?
In other words there are a number of HTTP so and so's but not just HTTP.

I get the blank page thing when spell checkin'

In fact all I get is "Powered by Infopop Corporation
UBB.classicTM 6.5.0" when I spell check on this site.

Thanks,
Ed

I have a stooooopid question to ask: are these modules needed for the spell check to work with the 6.4/6.5 boards, or is this something that's always been true?

I ask because I have the spell check on my current board (6.3.0), and I tried to install the hack into my test site's 6.5.0 board, and I came up with the blank page.

Does anyone have this working on UBB 6.5 ?

I do ... http://www.promodtecnologies.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

I do, and I don't write hacks, I break um

ADWOFF, the older versions didn't require those modules...

Ed, it's HTTP and HTTP::many others.

I got it working - but not without tweaking the code.

Here are the HTTP Modules on my server:
HTTP::Cookies
HTTP::Daemon
HTTP::Date
HTTP::Headers
HTTP::Headers::Auth
HTTP::Headers::ETag
HTTP::Headers::Util
HTTP::Message
HTTP::Negotiate
HTTP::Request
HTTP::Request::Common
HTTP::Response
HTTP::Status

Ed, would you mind telling us what did you tweak?

Hi LK,
I went back to your 6.3 code to see what was different. I looks like I couldn't get ubb_spell.cgi to call 'http://www.spellcheck.net/cgi-bin/spell.exe therefore the blank page.

In files - Open public_new_topic_form.pl, public_new_reply_form.pl, public_pm_form.pl and public_edit_post.pl

I replaced this:
"window.open('$vars_config{CGIURL}/ubb_spell.cgi?f=$in{f}', 'message', 'toolbar=yes,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,width=$vars_modifications{spellcheck_width},height=$vars_modifications{spellcheck_height}');" />)
: ""
);

with this
"window.open('http://www.spellcheck.net/cgi-bin/spell.exe?action=checkpg&string='+escape(document.replier.message.value), 'message', 'toolbar=yes,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no,width=$vars_modifications{spellcheck_width},height=$vars_modifications{spellcheck_height}');" class="buttons" />) : ""
);


Now it works - if you could tell me why it won't work as you have written it for 6.5 I will make the corrections.

Thanks,
Ed

Your version shows the plain spellcheck.net version, mine uses your colors, and in one click you can add the text to the UBB...

Hi LK,
I realize that your version uses "my colors etc."
Can you tell me why I get the blank page when I call for a " Spell Check" using your version?

Ed

I guess not

I'm getting the same problem:

[code][/code]But I don't really get what you're talking about above...

Can anyone help with this?

I don't mean to be a pest, but I'm still looking for some help on this...

LK is outta town for another week or so... you might check that you have the latest modules installed.

Catcherman,
Below is what I did to get it to work on 6.50. I have not yet been able find out why it won't work using LKs code. In fact I still can not get it to work on this site. Maybe it is a browser issue.

Ed

Yeah, it's probably modules...

My ISP wants to know specifically which LWP, URI, and HTTP modules I need. They say that there are multiples of each and they only want to implement the ones necessary.

Can you help me out with a list?

The only module it requires is LWP::UserAgent, but this module requires many others. I can't check now cause for some reason I can't find the modules in my apache2 folder ( ) but it's all the modules LWP::UserAgent requires, and the modules they require, and the modules they require. the easiest thing to do is upload all LWP, URI and HTTP modules.

Thanks. Hopefully, they'll follow your advice.

Thanks Ed. That did the trick.

Supposedly, my ISP added all the LWP, URI, and HTTP modules, and I still get the blank window. Is there any way for me to test to see that they've actually done it correctly?

Also, I made the changes suggested by Ed. I can get it to work for a normal posting and reply, but it causes the Quick Reply box to disappear. I don't understand this because the original Spell Check hack from LK doesn't interfere with Quick Reply. It works fine except for the blank window.

Any suggestions?

Another thing I don't understand about Spell Check. In previous versions, after making corrections, you could press a button to have the corrected text put into the original form. This button doesn't appear, and I don't see how it's supposed to work.

Ed, did you have this same problem with the Spell Check on your Quick Reply?

It's late, I'm tired, so I might be missing something obvious, but the Spell Check works on the reply screen, but not on the quick reply.

With the Quick Reply I'm getting that same error as before.

When you use it on quick reply you have to replace all ' (single-quote) with \' (two backslashes and a single-quote).

In which file? ubb_spell.cgi?

Did any of you use the multihack file? I was getting an error with it. What it was supposed to do was add the spellcheck button after the preview post button, but what it placed the spellcheck_button in the middle of the declaration of the the previewpost button

that might fix it for one of you

This works great and installed perfect the first time. A couple questions:

1. Can we have the pop up window close after clicking add text to ubbform?

2. How can I put this in the edit post page?

Thanks!

1. in ubb_spell, where it has a button, add window.close() in the onclick part (untested).

2. it should already be in edit post. if it isn't, what you did in new topic form, do exactly the same in public_edit_form

no, public_topic_page.pl

LK, that didn't work.

I don't think it's the modules because it works on all the other instances besides quick reply.

I added the \ before every ' in public_topic_page.pl.

Hi Catcherman,
I do not have "Quick Reply" installed but I have been reading this conversation you are having with LK and I am wondering if you need to do the backslash thing in all the hacked files.
That is:
In files - Open public_new_topic_form.pl, public_new_reply_form.pl,
public_pm_form.pl and
public_edit_post.pl

Ed

That worked for me fine

Hmm, nevermind my original post (contained below) I was tired... hadn't chmod'd the dang file.

But, now I get the 'blank page' problem, after I hit the spellcheck button.

Nevermind this:
I'm getting this error in my Apache log:
Running UBB.classic 6.5.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Zammit

Does anyone know if this works or will work for 6.6.1?

- MT

it SHOULD work, all but the Modification CP Addon that we're all anticipating a 6.7 release on...

Should be simple to remove the cp integration?

Very... Just where you see $vars_modification{spellcheck_height} replace it with 625 or something, and with "width" replace it with 500 or something.

thank you LK

Why not just use $vars_display{'PopupHeight'} and $vars_display{'PopupWidth'} which are defined in ubb_lib.cgi?

Because they're too small for this popup...

Lol the width is smaller by 50 and the height doesn't really matter, they can scroll...

there is one thing left and that would be:

$vars_modifications{spellcheck_enable} ne "no"

would be ok to just delete that? It's for the button
