I am only allowed one ODBC database by my hosting company and want to use the spell checker mod which has a dictionery database. If I import the dictionery table from the database into my snitz forum database (So I only have 1 database) What changes to the code do I have to make (I assume it's only the code in the pop_spellcheck.asp file) to point to the table within my snitz database?
It looks like the IEspell has to be downloaded to each user. The problem I have is that some people are posting messages in "Text talk" and the rest of us are struggling to understand what they are on about. I want to try and force them to type in english on my forum!
YES! You absolutely can do this. Just to verify it, I did it on my dev server and it worked just fine.
Open your dictionary2000 database, right click on the dictionary table and copy it. Now open your Snitz database and paste that dictionary table into it. Include both the structure and the data. Save it. Now, open the pop_spellcheck.asp file and go to roughly line 47. It will be the line where you define the path to the dictionary2000.mdb file. Alter that line and point it to your Snitz database. Since the Snitz db has the dictionary table in it, the spell checker will work just fine.
Cheers DJGray, it working.....now the fun question. Is there a way of getting the Popup window to automatically popup upon posting the topic without having to hit the spell check button?
keng38, I'm really new to Snitz. Been using it for just a few weeks, so I am not real familiar with the code yet, but I'd have to think that you could tie the functionality of the spell check button to the "submit" button so that it does not submit until after the user has cleared the spell check window.
