Version: 1.7
Last Updated: 2010-6-13
Requires bbPress Version: 1.0 or higher
Compatible up to: 1.1
After the Deadline helps you to write better by spending less time editing.
When you activate the plugin and click the proofread link above a textbox, the plugin will check the content for spelling, style, and grammatical errors.
The proofreader supports English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. If your BB_LANG is one of these, then it becomes the default proofreading language. It can be configured via the settings page.
Just tried it out. Some bugs:
- It seems that the plugin doesn't work when creating a new topic.
- The check spelling button shows up on the bottom of every thread page, not just on the reply form.
@Malfhok
Thanks for reporting the bugs!
Please check Version 1.1, that would address the issues you mentioned.
Changelog:
* The button is now only shown to logged in users, and only when the post textbox is visible (for topics which goes in pages)
* The button is now also shown when creating a new topic
* Merged three javascript files into one
* Improvements in code
You know how to add links to the forums?
Okay, now it works great!
One minor quibble: I'm running the bbCode Buttons plugin. When I click Check spelling the post box disappears as it should, but the spellcheck gets shoved up next to the bbCode button bar.
Well, that can't be controlled by After the Deadline, so you have two options:
1) Either ask CK to insert <div style="clear:both;"></div> before and after the buttons
OR
2) Insert <div style="clear:both;"></div> in your post-form.php file (which is located in your template folder) before something like -
<textarea name="post_content" cols="50" rows="8" id="post_content" tabindex="3"></textarea>
AtD 1.2.1 released.
Upgraded AtD/jQuery - Changelog :-
* Updated edit selection ability to keep phrase highlighted if no change was made
* Fixed a character escaping issue
* AtD now restores missing accents to English words borrowed from other languages
Thank you for your continued work on this, it is a nifty extension which my users requested repeatedly. Awesome!
Some minor issues remain, usually related to other plugins like the famous bbPress Smilies which has it's input window moved out of screen boundaries after a post has been spellchecked. Not sure which party is the culprit here.
It would also be great if it were possible to mark only parts of the text to be spellchecked because if you quote text like my users usually do it's easy to exceed the maximum text length and/or have lots of syntax involved.
@the_Wish
For your bbSmilies Plugin issue, please refer to this post.
And to make it to only check the part selected, I would think upon the idea. It is not requested by many people so I am confused that it may cause confusion between the users of the forums because, suppose they might have some text selected - unintentionally, and only that would be checked where as they wanted to get whole text checked.
Thank you for your answer, I'll check on your workaround for the bbSmilies issue.
I'll have to agree that my users are probably a little off average, they post a lot of long and extensive replies or even whole reviews (movies/merchandise etc.). They also like to multiquote in a single post which inevitably results in the aforementioned behaviour of the spellchecking. Just an idea.
Cheers

* Improvements in the coding and highly commented the PHP files
* Added a screenshot of the settings page

@the_Wish
Now in v1.3, there is no text limit. So you can use it without any problems.
And the bbSmilies container only goes to the left when the textbox has been removed, when you can't add smilies, so that doesn't remain an issue anymore.
@gautam2011: In case I edit any post after submitting the Check Spelling button doesnt show up. I am using the default theme which comes along with BBpress in my support forum
I think I have fixed the issue. Please download the development from here & test it (it works for me):
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/after-the-deadline/after-the-deadline.zip
If it is working, then please reply me so that I can mark it as a release.
Changes between 1.3 and 1.3.1-dev can be seen here.
