Has anyone found Chris' bug? I am registered at dbstalk.com and earlier emailed Chris about which spell checker he uses. I am a licensed user of vb 2.2.8 and after only two weeks of use I'm getting complaints about the lack of a spell checker. Also, I have read all the posts here but can someone point me to the latest install information. There have been many modifications but the posts all seem so dated. I do have a request into my hosting company (ventures online) to determine if they have aspell installed.
Thanks, Robert |
Hi,
I used this hack on Ventures Online for a long time without problems. Recently, I've worked on modifying the php spell checker released by Raz in the beta hacks forum--I find it's interface to be more user-friendly. See the last posts in that thread for an attached zip file I uploaded that fixes fundamental design issues with the hack he developed. Hope this helps, Paul Edit: Here's a direct link to my post. You'll need to download the original zip file for installation instructions. The files in my zip are to be uploaded over the files in the original release. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...200#post319200 |
Thanks Paul,
Here is the message I received from Ventures Online: Yes aspell is installed on the server. The version that is installed is: aspell-0.33.7.1-9 I downloaded your .zip file and it extracted one file spellcheckerv2. I've gone through the beta forum and the full releases forum but I'm still not sure which original .zip I'm supposed to download and where the install instructions are. If you could help me weed through the 10 pages of posts to find just the original files and install information I need, that would be much appreciated. Thanks, Robert |
Hi Robert,
I edited my post to be a bit more clearer. The original files and install instructions can be found here. The files in my update to the hack need to be used in place of the original hack release by Raz. Essentially, follow his instructions, but use my files. You can find the files inside of the spellcheckerv2 folder. :) |
Unzipped it and reading it now.
Thanks, Robert |
Paul:
Uploaded all six files in your latest .zip to a new folder I created called spellcheck. Edited all four templates, example below. Do not see the spell check button anywhere. Sorry, I'm new at this stuff, what did I do wrong?

Paul:
I don't think I mentioned that I am using version 2.2.8. Thanks, Robert |
I am an Admin on a forum and we are trying to get this hack activated.
The server is a Win2K server with VBull 2.2.8 running. We have a few hacks installed and all are running smoothly. My question revolves around the use of Perl. We have ActiveState Perl installed in the C:\Perl directory. What I am confused about is how to 'point' the HTML files to the Perl directory. For example: <form name="send" action="/cgi-bin/spell.pl" method="POST" target="SpellChecker"> I am thinking I need to create a virtual DIR in IIS that points to the C:\Perl DIR, but I am not sure. Then the spell.pl and other Perl files would be placed in to that DIR. Has anyone put this hack on to an IIS server with ActiveState that could offer someone some guidance ? Thanks in advance. JustMe :) |
I get no drop down box for misspelled words. HELP!
