Spell Check [Merged]

[Oldiesmann]

SMF figures this out by checking to see if the function pspell_new() exists - if it does, then SMF assumes it will work on the server, otherwise SMF says it won't.

What does this give you?

Code Select Expand

<?php
// Show ALL errors, regardless of how minor they might be
error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Open english dictionary
pspell_new('en');

// A bad spelling of "spelled"... This should generate a lot of suggestions
$suggestions = pspell_suggest('spelt');
echo 'Suggestions for "spelt":<br />';
foreach($suggestions AS $a_word)
{
    echo $suggestion . '<br />';
}
?>

That should give you an error message, since SMF doesn't think that pspell_new exists...

Okay - Here's a fun one for ya

I have a 2 SMF installations on one server - one site is novahomebrew.com and the other is homebrewclubs.com.  For some reason novahomebrew.com spell checker work without any issues all is happy, however homebrewclubs.com (which is a fresh install) does not have the spell check button.  I have red thru the thread and tried a few different items (copying spellcheck.js file) and it had no impact.

Anyone have any ideas

Now the bloody thing is working - no idea why!  Is there a lag on a system check it does or something?!

I have pspell compiled to php and English spell check works fine.

How did you fix this?? I got the same problem

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

abnormal program termination
Unhandled Error: E:\Program Files\Aspell\dict/en-only.rws: The file "E:\Program Files\Aspell\data/iso8859-1.dat" is not in the proper format.

I was told the problem is the dictionary files are windows-formatted (but need to be unix-formatted).
