Free Spellchecking is Here

There has been a PERL script out for some time that allows you to make use of aspell libraries that you can have installed on your server with PHP.

I have also included a text file that has the javascript that you insert into your editpost, newthread and newreply templates to add spell checking to your forums. The edited text is then inserted into the original document when submitted.

You need to have a cgi-bin, or similar directory, set up on your server and the aspell or ispell libraries for PHP on your server. (Do a look up for aspell or ispell on google, etc. on these libraries if you don't know about them.)

If someone wants to look over the enclosed PERL script and write it in PHP that would be great and make it to were you didn't have to have PERL on your server.

Enjoy!

Thanks, I'd love it if someone rewrote it in PHP

I second that

*misses spellchecker.net*

This works just like spellchecker.net but it also gives you a pull down menu for each misspelled word to chose from. The other difference is its free.

that is so wierd guys One of the forums I am at, uses spellchecker, and has never payed for it.... yet it still functions 100%

there is another free spellchecker released. i saw it before but i dont use it..

Ok I installed it, works pretty well. However, the spell check button does not match the color/size of the other buttons, so I went ahead and fixed it (and I suggest you update the original file too ).


I changed this

<input type="button" name="SpellCheck" value="SpellCheck" onclick="sendtext()">

to

<input type="button" name="SpellCheck" value="Spell Check" onclick="sendtext()" class="bginput" tabindex="5" accesskey="c">

This works great! I used Unknown's button fix, too. Thanks!

Thanks for the fix on the button. I have uploaded a new .zip file with the updated code.

any more help on the libraries needed. I found the sourceforge.net stuff but got a little confused when I downloaded what I thought I needed and where to put them. Am I looking for library files or word files or what.

Just a little more help in this area would be great.
