[geeklog-devel] Spelling interface ready for testing...

[Tony Bibbs]

I have finally completed the spellchecker code I am planning to use in 
Geeklog 2.  As you might guess, there is nothing precluding it from 
being used in 1.3.x so I am attaching the file along with the modified 
CVS files needed to get this working on admin/story.php.

Dirk, if you could test it's use on another language that would be 
great.  I have already tested this on windows.  If you tested an alpha 
of what I had a few months ago, this is *much* easier to use.  My prior 
version used the native PHP functions (pspell) which is a PITA to get 
working both on *nix and windows.  This version simply needs a working 
aspel binary which is called using shell_exec().

For those needing more info here is what we have:

1) Uses only the Aspell binary (http://aspell.net)
2) Capable of supporting multiple languages
3) Able to highlight misspelled words.  By default it uses a set of span 
tags and the title attribute gets the suggested spellings put into it. 
This allows you to see the suggestions by hovering over it with your mouse
4) I modified the config file to have a new set of entries for spell 
checking.  By default I think we'd turn this feature off, no?
5) Works regardless of the postmode of the article
6) I have implemented with little effort for admin/story.php, I would 
think one could update all possible areas of use in just a few hours

Oh, before I forget, to use the attached files, be sure to put 
PHPSpellChecker.class.php into the /path/to/geeklog/system/classes/ 
directory.

Questions welcomed and, of course, more testers welcome.  PHPDoc file 
forthcoming (I don't have PHPDoc installed here at home).
