Well spellingcow.com had a version for phpBB2 and it says to know be vB compatible. Just rembered there old versions were not vB compatible so thanks anyways.

tamarian do you remember me? I'm the one that liked vbspell a lot but couldn't make it work with greek. Do you think there is any possibility that this will work?

It does work for Greek, but there might be a problem with your host? If I recall, they won't change anything on the server, and this one requires PHP to have PSPELL compiled in it, and that the server has aspell installed along with the needed dictionaries.

Can I determine if those are installed with phpinfo()?

Also, the problem with my host isn't that he refuses to change someting that he admits has a problem, but that he never admits that any problem is caused by him :p :rolleyes:

You can tell if it has PSPELL, but not aspell or the dictionaries. These can only be found from the command line or from your host.

Oh dear. I'll test it in my test forum in a few days. If it works I..., I..., well I don't know what I'll do but I'll definately be one of the happiest admins alive :p :p :D
I have a feeling that this will work! :D


edit: Arghhhhh I just saw I don't have pspell compiled!!! I'm about to kill my host :devious::devious::devious::devious::devious: :(

I have not looked at the code yet, but one of my client's hosting companies will not compile pspell into PHP. aspell is installed and they suggest simply calling the aspell binary like these guys do.

Any thoughts on how difficult it would be to drop the requirement for pspell?

-t

They told me that they WILL compile pspell and include that aspell thing with greek support as well!!! :D :D :D

I just hope it works this time...

I don't think it's that difficult. But, IMHO, it's extremelly unprofessional for a hosting company to recommend this, as it exposes the system outside the WWW root directory. That's the whole point of PSPELL, is to avoid that exposure.

I am impressed :)

I just upgraded my forums from vB 3.0.x to 3.5.1 and upgraded to the latest PungoSpell as well. So far everything seems to work, but when I click the Done button, the spell check window doesn't close and the updated/spell checked post doesn't get updated into my post window. Any ideas?

On all templates, or just quick edit?

Thanks for an excellent mod. It bugged me that only IE users got this feature. Installed with cclaerhout's hack and works like a charm.

>clicks install<

I just upgraded to 5.2, installed this hack and it doesn't seem to work. When you click the Spell Check button, nothing happens. There seems to be a javascript error. This happens on every page I try and use the code.

I get this after install

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pspell_new() in /home/xmsquad/public_html/x/forumsVB/pungospell.php on line 50

Is there no more support for this hack?

Just to let everyone know, this hack does not seem to work in 3.52 or 3.53 - I have it working on a 3.51 site with no problems, but the newer vb versions spit out javascript errors. I'd wait until this hack is updated to install it on a new version of vb.

I've just installed it on my test 3.5.4 board and it's fine. I need it there as it's a popular feature on my current live 3.0 site.

I've been running it on 3.5RCX and up without issue.

Sorry to bump this thread.

Could you modify it to just highlight the text in their post and not offer any corrections or spell check panel?

Hi by any chance will this be ported to 3.6

for the greek lang i set it to gr or el ?

it works for english but not for greek. i have pspell and aspell with greek dictionary but when i press spell check it doesnt check the greek lang. in admin cp and custom.pws is set as el

Will it work on 3.6.2 ?
