Yay! This version adds a bit more polish. I recommend that everyone upgrade (instructions coming soon).

Get the new version!

The hightlights include:
  • Error handling if spellingcow.com is not reachable
  • made valid 4.01 Transitional
  • added browser+OS detection to increase compatibility

Rest of changelog:
  • some minor bug fixes and polish to the server-side code
  • improved error handling of cookies
  • sends more accurate user agent and referrer data
  • added some links of registration+login pages to return to spell checking
  • now properly handles when first word of message is misspelled
  • spruced up the ad space a tad
  • fixed a bug with registration
  • fixed a serious problem that caused exponential looping
  • handles special characters better
  • fixed a possible SQL injection
  • cleaned up the CSS
  • better SID integration with phpBB (server side)

Enjoy!
-Nuttzy Cool

NOTE: this version includes an important update and once I get the word out, older versions will soon cease to work. Sites that currently have Spelling Cow installed are advised to upload the new spell-gw.php file immediately. Those with versions older than 1.0.0 will need to make some tweaks (coming soon).

Cool! I'm updating right now!

EDIT: Done, I think. Unless there was more to it then replacing the old spell-gw.php (and editing admin name line).

Sorry I really don't have install instructions ready for Invision yet. If you want the basic Spell Check button and no auto checking, you just need to drop in two lines of code. I have no idea where to do that in IPB though. Will figure it out as soon as I can.

If you find the place for it to go, you need to drop in these lines:
Quote:
<input type="button" name="spellcheck" class="liteoption" value="Spell Check" onClick="window.open('spell-gw.php?mode=load&form=post&source=message&button=post&type=IPB', '_spellcheck', 'HEIGHT=484,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,WIDTH=595');"><br>

<style type="text/css"><!-- .spellcow, a.spellcow { font-size : 8px; color : #FFFFFF; } --></style>
<!-- Removal of the following line may result in suspension of the service by SpellingCow. Come on, linking back to us is not asking much but means a lot to us. Thanks! Wink -->
<span class="spellcow">by <a href="http://www.spellingcow.com" target="_blank" class="spellcow">SpellingCow.com</a><a href="spell-gw.php" target="_blank" class="spellcow">.</a><br>


...you also have to change the variables in red to whatever they are in IPB. If you get stuck on them, let me know the address of your board and I'll figure it out. Here's what those variables are:

form: Enter the form name to check. Enter only one form name.
source: Enter the form item to be checked. (the message)
button: Enter the name of the submit button for the form

Good luck and if you get it working, let me know what the changes need to be Wink

Thanks!
-Nuttzy Cool

I am "still" very new to Invision [just started with it a week ago]. I have added one MOD. Once thing that I noticed during the MOD change is where we would make *.tpl edits you make in the Admin Control Panel. I believe the forum htm is stored in the Database.....

So, I'll do my best to see if I can get this in http://infmodteam/forums/

Has anyone gotten anywhere with this yet? I would love to see this being installed on the invision boards also.

I looked into converting this but I ran into a big problem at start before I even got to download it.. The free demo version is encoded and they make you pay for the decoded version. Sad

Yes you are, I've just modded it for myBB, which is very similar to IPB with its scripting.... You can have look here.. and play with it until I work it out with nuttzy on how he would like me to proceed with this and pack it up...

When I finish with myBB, I'll d/l the trial version of IPB for comparison coding.. At the moment, unlike phpBB, there are three locations that have to be modified, So hang in there....

Have a play with it here...............

Hi Fella,

I did a mod for MyBB and have posted it here...

http://www.mybboard.com/community/showthread.php?tid=2668&pid=16601#pid16601

It's only in its initial stage... (One thing at a time) but I thought it polite to keep you up-to-date... as when I finish 'playing', you may want to be the 'only' download site for it.... It's your 'baby' Very Happy
