Just integrated a spell checker on my site.

http://www.pcfixzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl

Give it a try, create a post on the Chit Chat board, make some mistakes and click the Spell Check button

login=tester password=tester (or register ;D)

It has a Java script error.

Off to check, it was working when I posted >:(

Fixed, had the button type as "submit" instead of "button"

I would use the new Google bar.  :)  It has a spell check built in.  :)

Cool :)

Hey, that is neat.  Gonna release it as a mod?

Not sure if I could make into a mod, I'll send you the zip, maybe you can run through it when you get back. ;)

I'm sure by the time I get back it will already be a mod:)

Careful you don't explode your server!! ;D (Just kidding.)

user, if it happens, you know what to do, I'll make you head admin in my testament ;D

Warlock, you right not in mods section. Maybe it didnt upload completly. I'll look out for your mod

Right, I've posted it again.

a cool thanks for your help. :) I'm gonna try it

Excellent! Installed smoothly. Works great. This is a good new mod to complement V9's new features.

Thanks! (cool)

Yea our forum looks very proffesional with it too. ;D

Sonny,

I checked out your forum and it looks great. Did you have to install Aspell to get spell checking to work, or was it already there? That was the first feature my first tester asked for.

Dan

This does require the aspell module, most of the time it is installed by hosts as default.
Check with your host and ask them if it is indeed installed or if they will install it for you.

Here was their (Interlands) answer:

Thank you for contacting technical support regarding your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have Aspell installed in our server. Also, we will not be able to install it for you since you are in a shared server and installing it will affect the other accounts. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and your business.

Is there a way to install Aspell in my directory?

Well all I can say is sorry but your host is pants, it will have no affect on anyone else, it's just a dictionary at the end of the day, they are being extremely unreasonable, most hosts install it by default.

As for being able to install it on your site, I'm afraid not, sorry.

The other alternative is the iespell mod but this will only work for your members that use IE

You're wrong.  You can use it without it being installed.

Or wait ... is it a Perl module?

You are the expert, maybe you can offer an install for a small fee?

Is it a Perl module, though?  If it is I could.

Yep, it's downloadable from Sourceforge

http://aspell.sourceforge.net/

Nope, it's a seperate executable.  You won't be able to use it.

That's why I said it couldn't be installed into his forum, I have tried in the past with no joy.

Sometimes you can still use them, but I'm not sure exactly how.  I know I use LAME on this server (for another website), and I had to upload it myself.
