View Full Version : Spell Checker

Currently I have the www.spellcheck.net on my board, basically you click the spell check button and a box pops up where you have to copy and paste you message or word, then spell check it, then copy and paste the corrected version back to the post. It's better than nothing, but quite cumbersome!

I noticed that www.ubbdev.com has implemented the same spell checker (www.spellcheck.net) which is free service, into their UBB board so that when you click the spell check button it actually copies the post into spellcheck.net the way that the old spellchecker worked before it became a pay service.

Can one of you hackers make this work for vB?

Can someone help me finish?

Here is a url that allows you to "push" the post to spellcheck.net. The $post_body would need to be passed to the url. I cannot figure out how to do the latter part.
http://www.spellcheck.net/cgi-bin/spell.exe?string=$post_body

Can you help? THANKS

[vB v2.2.6](SpellChecker.net like) SPELL CHECKER for VB 2.x! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39931)

How about checking the full releases forum next time before requesting? ;)

I thought as much, since your request was almost two months ago...
Infact, that "check releases before requesting" part wasn't pointed to you but to organic-hosting
Because, as I said, you requested it two months ago, and that hack I gave a link to wasn't released until a week ago :D
