Aspell is a better spell-checker than Ispell, so you're encouraged to use it. If you want to have more than one dictionary available to users, configure the array to look something like this: $SQSPELL_APP = array( "English" => "aspell -a", "Russian" => "ispell -d russian -a", ... "Swahili" => "ispell -d swahili -a" ); Watch the commas, making sure there isn't one after your last dictionary declaration. Also, make sure all these dictionaries are available on your system before you specify them here. Whatever your setting is, don't omit the "-a" flag. **/ $SQSPELL_APP = array("English" => "ispell -a"); /** DEFAULT DICTIONARY ------------------- Even if you're only running one dictionary, still specify which one is the default. Watch the case -- it has to be exactly as in array you declared in $SQSPELL_APP. **/ $SQSPELL_APP_DEFAULT="English"; /** USER DICTIONARY: ----------------- $SQSPELL_WORDS_FILE is a location and mask of a user dictionary file. The default setting should be OK for most everyone.

All you do is add some part of an USER_AGENT string of an offending browser which you want to disable and users will not know about this plugin. E.g. browsers with "Mozilla/4.61 (Macintosh, I, PPC)" USER_AGENT string will get weeded out if you provide "Macintosh" in the config string. Mozilla/2 -- You're kidding, right? Mozilla/3 -- known not to work Opera -- known not to work Macintosh -- Netscape 4.x on Macintosh chokes for some reason. Adding until resolved. **/ $SQSPELL_SOUP_NAZI = "Mozilla/3, Mozilla/2, Opera 4, Opera/4, Macintosh"; ?>
