It's not free software. It is being used illegally in this 'mod.'
quote:
Pricing
I offer a license so GoogieSpell can be used with/in proprietary software. The prices are:
* $50 for a license that can be used across 3 domains (where a sub-domain or sub-directory counts as a domain).
* $250 for a unlimited use license.

Context is everything. Here is the entire license bit:
quote:
License
This script is dual licensed. One is for free software ("open source") the other is for proprietary software.
The free license is the GPL. Under this license you can only use GoogieSpell with/in free software (i.e. the script can't be used in/with software where the source isn't released).

$50 for a license that can be used across 3 domains (where a sub-domain or sub-directory counts as a domain).
$250 for a unlimited use license.
For support I charge $25 pr. hour.
If you have bought a license then you can upgrade to future versions of GoogieSpell for free.
On one domain you can use GoogieSpell unlimited times.
If you interested in using GoogieSpell in/with proprietary software, then contact me and we can figure something out. My email is amix@amix.dk.
We fall under the former, not the latter. This is GPL'd software and the source is available.
I don't mean to be offensive, but do you have some personal beef against this MOD? I can't speak to the API issue you raised, but leatherlips gave due credit in the MOD package to the original author, though you stopped short of accusing him of taking credit. And now you're brining up a licensing issue that isn't an issue because you're not quoting the entire agreement.< |

As AnonJr stated, the license says:
quote:

This script is dual licensed. One is for free software ("open source") the other is for proprietary software.
The free license is the GPL. Under this license you can only use GoogieSpell with/in free software (i.e. the script can't be used in/with software where the source isn't released).
Snitz is free software, therefore the use of GoogieSpell is not illegal.
I state in the readme:
quote:
Thanks goes to:
Amir Salihefendic for developing GoogieSpell
James Newton for writing the googie.asp page
I am not taking credit for GoogieSpell. What I did however was write the instructions for how to implement it within Snitz. I considered these instructions to be a MOD. If I am wrong, then someone can correct me. There are similar MODs where the MOD author did not write the actual feature, but did put the instructions together. I'm not sure I see how mine is different.
In an earlier post (see here) I asked if anyone knew how to get GoogieSpell to work with Snitz. It wasn't totally obvious how to make it work. AnonJr tried to help but we both were not really able to get it to work. Finally, I figured it out and decided to write the instuctions for others to be able to use it. Does this not constitute a MOD?
I've never clamied to write GoogieSpell. I am not trying to take any credit other than putting together the instructions in a clear way for others to use.< |

You guys shouldn't let someone who's been a member at Snitz for over 4 years who makes less than a couple of posts a year be a bother to you. It's obvious. He doesn't want to read. He wants to pick on someone. Just blow him off and go on.
BTW, love the MOD. I think it's awesome! Thanks!

I know I shouldn't, but that was a real foul shot and I can't not make sure that the record is set straight.< |

| I'd like to apologize to anyone that I offended. I honestly didn't see the gpl licensing on the googiespell page, all I saw was a big header for the word pricing and then some dollar amounts. My original concern regarding google spell check licensing and how the words are spell checked using the google toolbar method still remains. Google can easily change the protocol, as they have with other services of theirs in the past. It's just something to be aware of.< |

Anyone else have trouble with the quick reply textarea form box getting to big after adding this? I ended up taking out the style:100% reference to keep it from getting to big but now it looks funny because it is only 50 cols wide ... not a big deal but just wondering if there was a way to have the quick reply box be the same width as the topics above it but also have the spell check.
Very nice mod, best I have installed by far! I sued to copy all of my posts into Word before posting.

I've just implemented this mod on oxle, and I must admit it's a great mod!
I've got 3 questions though, and I hope you guys can be of help.
Question 1: how do I change the style of the menus as shown below.
It now uses Times New Roman ; I want this one to use 'Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif' instead, to match the rest of the site.
 
I see that Dayve has succesfully changed that on burningsouls, but I'm lost on where I should change that.
Question 2: How do I reposition the icon that's used for the language selection, ánd directly show which language is used? I want it to shift up a wee bit. Actually I want it to center vertically. Modifying the icon is an option for fake positioning....
Question 3: My forums are dutch and english, divided per catagory. Cat_ID 16 is dutch.
How can I make sure the default language for the GoogleSpell feature is set to Dutch when someone uses post.asp in any of the forums belonging to that catagory ?< |

Well, I can answer #1.
In googiespell.css the following lines control that window...
.googie_list {
font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.googie_list td {
font-size: 13px;
padding: 2px 0 2px 0;
cursor: pointer;
list-style-type: none;
color: #000;
}
.googie_list_onhover {
background-color: #FBEC72;
}
.googie_list_onout {
background-color: #ecefff;
}
.googie_list_selected {
background-color: #ccc;
}
.googie_list_revert {
color: #b91479;
}
.googie_list_close {
color: #b91414;
}
I'm pretty sure you could just add the line in red.

Thanks a bunch!! Not sure how I missed this... 
Question 2 has also been answered now (by myself).
Change the style for the image like this:
.googie_lang_3d_click img {
vertical-align: top;
border-top: 1px solid #555;
border-left: 1px solid #555;
border-right: 1px solid #b1b1b1;
border-bottom: 1px solid #b1b1b1;
}
.googie_lang_3d_on img {
vertical-align: top;
border-top: 1px solid #b1b1b1;
border-left: 1px solid #b1b1b1;
border-right: 1px solid #555;
border-bottom: 1px solid #555;
}
Showing the selected language is step 2 for that question. 
Any idea for question 3?< |
