SMF forum

[nitrogen]

Hey

I've upgraded our YABB SE forum to new SMF application just now. SMF has a nice option for spell checking but it needs some
option in PHP.

Support at SMF says:
"The "aspell" and "aspell-devel" rpms need to be installed (on most hosts)."

Do we have this installed on cPanel30?

if not, can it be added, please?

thank you!

Nitrogen, a trouble ticket would get a faster response.

I checked cpanel30 and didn't see aspell installed or the --with-pspell PHP config options compiled either.

Aspell extension is deprecated, pspell is now preferred.

I doubt you'll get aspell or pspell installed, it would require a recompile of PHP.

Did you know Firefox has a spell checking extension? Client side spell checking just makes more sense to me.

I tested a few forums for a site (That never developed) and I liked SMF the best;
MyBB was close 2nd, MiniBB & PunBB tied for third, phpBB 4th, vB & IPB 5th and 6th (due to costing $$)

Just an update for those using SMF and needing a spell checker ... check out phpSpell at http://www.master-technology.com/dem...l/download.php

The download zip file includes several folders with files and instructions for integrating with several different programs, including SMF.

Remember to download the dictionary file(s) you want to use as well.

It integrates nicely into SMF with just a few settings in a config file, and then 2 lines added to SMF's "Post.template.php" file. The only issue I had was the line numbers in the instructions did not match my theme, but a little searching was all I needed to do to find the right portion of the code.
