Proofreading not working

[Finn_958]

Hi, in my forum http://coscienzamaschile.com proofreading seems to be supported by the server (the button appears under the text box) but it opens a blank popup window.

[Finn_958]

I tried various php versions, all with pspell activated, and spell check still not working.

[Illori]

you need the dictionaries installed as well.

[Finn_958]

Thank you, I am quite a newbie, where can I find them?

[Illori]

do you have full control over your server? if you do not then ask your host to take care of it.

[Finn_958]

Dictionaries are installed

[Finn_958]

After some hours, the problem seems now misteriously solved!

I'm curious, what are you using to authenticate the Facebook login feature on your website?

[Finn_958]

One4all Social. The other plugin Facebook Integration does not work and must be updated, hoping the author will do!

[Finn_958]

It appears the the spell check "Add word" feature works only for the current session, new words are not stored in the dictionary. Any hints? Any custom dic to add or configure maybe?
I don't have any mods installed, the Add feature is built-in. Where does SMF stores added words?

[Finn_958]

Any hints about where does SMF stores dictionary where custom words are added?

Any hints about where does SMF stores dictionary where custom words are added?

By default, I do not think it does. There is a mod for that though http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=536

[Finn_958]

The mond is incompatible with the last forum version. The spell check feature is in-built. There is indeed an "Add" button in the proofreading window, but apparently new words are not added.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

The mod should be compatible with .15 even though it says otherwise, the spell check feature is in-built, and that mod is there to extend it's functionality.
I am unfamiliar with the innards of the spell check functionality, but I believe by default it only adds words temporarily and does not save them for the future.

[Finn_958]

During installation there is a warning that the mod may cause conflicts.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Exactly what warning are you getting?

[Finn_958]

Failed test, SMF WARMLY recommend not to install.

[Finn_958]

SO I would have to perform changes manually to install the mod?

[Illori]

yes.

[Finn_958]

Ok thanks, but not worth the risk for me. Maybe when the mod will be updated and compatible with current version.

[Deaks]

what files is the mod giving error on, many people on here would be happy to help with this in this thread

[Finn_958]

Ok I installed the mod. Where does it store custom words?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=126181.msg3067228#msg3067228

It should be saving them in a file named custom_words in your forum root directory.  The first time it runs if the custom spellings file doesn't exist, PHP will attempt to create it.  

[Finn_958]

Found and working! Thanks!
Last question: is MOD able to add custom words if I lock file modifications ("Sitelock")?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

I would have to guess that depends on the particular setup of your server, and you will need to try to find out. Odds are it won't work.

[Finn_958]

It does not work with Sitelock, otherwise it's ok.
