"pspell" question for spell check feature in SMF 1.1.16 - TOPIC SOLVED

(1/2) > >>

mouse92im:
I have a question for the gurus here.  A couple days ago, GoDaddy announced they were going to end support on older versions of PHP by Aug 1st, 2012.  I went ahead and updated mine to the current 5.3 language packs.  Come to find out that my spellcheck feature button randomly showed up and started working, but the "en" library was not found.

After contacting GoDaddy and speaking to a nice, but naive to PHP tech support person, I went onto PHP.net and found out the following:

"As of php 5.3. Pspell is no longer supported/bundled. Instead you can use the enchant which is bundled by default in 5.3. "


Here's my question.

Since SMF 1.1.16 spellcheck function is still looking for the "Pspell" dictionary, is there a way I can redirect it to the new default "enchant" dictionary list?  Or does anyone know if there will be a patch coming?

If not, I plan to update the function and redirect it to this "enchant" spelling library.



Thanks!
Ryan

There will not be an official patch for enchant support in 1.1.x, and it is unlikely there will be an official patch in 2.0. 2.1... maybe, but not before that (1.1 and 2.0 are in security-patch only status)

Maybe someone will actually write it as a mod but it is a decentish chunk of code and requires changing details in all the language packs.

Honestly I don't know why there is a fuss any more over it, all the competent browsers have spell check built right in - I don't know if I've *ever* used the forum spell check before now since all the browsers I've used in the last few years had it built in.

Is there a way to remove the spellcheck button then?  I don't see any options to disable it in the admin area, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
