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 :)
