E-Blah Community  /  Mod Requests and Support  /  Spell checker mod question
Posted by: capitaljeeps, October 24, 2005, 11:45am
I've just recently installed this mod:
http://www.eblah.com/forum/m-1118521008/

It works perfect, at least as perfect as it can.  I noticed the ASPELL module needs to be installed on my server.  Well after installing and testing this mod I found that I do not have ASPELL installed, rather I have the PSPELL module.  I contacted my host, ipowerweb, and they informed me they can not install ASPELL to my domain.  Is there a way I can get the spell checker to work with PSPELL rather than ASPELL.  

Here is a link to my forums, if needed:

thanks in advance, you guys always point me in the right directon :)

Are you sure they don't have ASPELL as PSPELL is the php module of ASPELL. PSPELL needs the ASPELL libraries to work. This is a very common module and I haven't come across a site that didn't have it or wouldn't install it on request.

This is from php.net:

To compile PHP with pspell support, you need the aspell library, available from http://aspell.sourceforge.net/

UPDATE

If you go to this page and click the Pspell Hompage link and see where it takes you  ;)

Good info.  I've contacted my host again to get more details on this topic.

Is there a way to edit the code and replace aspell with pspell?

The only place I can see that you may be able to change it is in speller.pl

look for this line:

my $aspell_cmd = 'aspell';

and change it to:

my $aspell_cmd = 'pspell';

I have no idea if it will work.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens.  I'll post back my outcome.

Doesn't work.  I get this error:

OK, my host installed aspell on my domain and it still doesn't work.

the path to it on my server is, /usr/local/bin/aspell.  Do I need to add this in anywhere?

The error I get is:

"Error exectuting `aspell-a--lang=en_US </tmp/MvxyL9Soc6/zWXvTx300Y 2>&1`

Error: no word lists can be found for the language "en_US"

Did you create your temp folder?

If you want me to check it out, pm your ftp details.

It didn't talk about a temp folder in the installation instructions.

So this requires a temp folder to work?  Where do I upload?  Any CHMOD?
