SquirrelSpell reports no spelling errors EVER.

Just updated from Debian Etch>Lenny>Squeeze, and something has gone wrong with squirrelspell plugin for squirrelmail. It never reports a spelling error. Here is my sqspell_config.php

Code:

 */

require_once(SM_PATH . 'functions/prefs.php');

/* Just for poor wretched souls with E_ALL. :) */
global $data_dir;

sqgetGlobalVar('username', $username, SQ_SESSION);

/**

 *
 * $SQSPELL_APP = array( 'american (American English)' => 'ispell -a',
 *                     'spanish (Spanish)' => 'ispell -d spanish -a' );
 * You can replace ispell with aspell keeping the same commandline:
 * $SQSPELL_APP = array( 'american (American English)' => 'aspell -a',
 *                     'spanish (Spanish)' => 'aspell -d spanish -a' );

if ( ! @include('/var/cache/dictionaries-common/sqspell.php') ) {
    $SQSPELL_APP = array('american (American English)' => 'ispell -a',
                 'spanish (Spanish)' => 'ispell -d spanish -a');
}

# Debian: if dictionaries-common >= 2.50 is available, detect the

if ( is_readable ( '/etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default' ) ) {
    $SQSPELL_APP_DEFAULT = file_get_contents ( '/etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default' );
} else {
    $SQSPELL_APP_DEFAULT = 'american (American English)';
}

$SQSPELL_WORDS_FILE = 
   getHashedFile($username, $data_dir, "$username.words");

$SQSPELL_EREG = 'ereg';

/var/log/mail.err gives:

Code:

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: American English in /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/squirrelspell/modules/check_me.mod on line 81, referer: https://mail.mydomain.com/plugins/squirrelspell/sqspell_interface.php

contents of /var/cache/dictionaries-common/sqspell.php

Code:

<?php
### This file is part of the dictionaries-common package.
### It has been automatically generated.
### DO NOT EDIT!
$SQSPELL_APP = array (
  'American English (aspell)' => 'aspell -a -d en_US   ',
  'American English (ispell)' => 'ispell -a    -B -d american',
  'British English (aspell)' => 'aspell -a -d en_GB   ',
  'British English (ispell)' => 'ispell -a    -B -d british',
  'Canadian English (aspell)' => 'aspell -a -d en_CA   ',
  'English (aspell)' => 'aspell -a -d en   '
);

Has the syntax changed?

In the first file you showed, you have this:

Code:

$SQSPELL_APP = array('american (American English)' => 'ispell -a',
                 'spanish (Spanish)' => 'ispell -d spanish -a');

The error says this:

Code:

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: American English in /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/squirrelspell/modules/check_me.mod on line 81

I would guess that in the file /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/squirrelspell/modules/check_me.mod on line 81 you'll find something with this in it:

Code:

$SQSPELL_APP['American English']

or a variable inside of $SQSPELL_APP[] that is defined as 'American English'

So you just have to make them agree. Either change your configuration file to say "American English" or change the way it's being used. So that it looks for "american (American English)".

i don't know about that cache file you showed. maybe you can rename it (don't just delete) and test to see if it is caching stuff and confusing the matter.

deathsfriend99 · 02-07-2012, 12:52 PM

Bah! I forgot to post contents of check_me.mod Here is line 81:

Code:

/**
 * Define the command used to spellcheck the document.
 */
$sqspell_command=$SQSPELL_APP[$sqspell_use_app];

Still not sure where this gets me.

humbry · 02-07-2012, 04:19 PM

Yeah, so somehow $sqspell_use_app gets defined as "American English" when you are using the software. But the dictionary choices seem to be as defined in the /var/cache file:

'American English (aspell)'
'American English (ispell)'
'British English (aspell)'
'British English (ispell)'
'Canadian English (aspell)'
'English (aspell)'

So where do you make your dictionary selection? Where is $sqspell_use_app defined?

Maybe it's something that was in your preferences from before and it's just a matter of a broken upgrade that's out of sync with your old preferences. Try going in your user account and re-selecting your dictionary or just clear out the user preference value.

On the other hand, do you have any dictionary preferences set up? I see a variable in the config file called $SQSPELL_APP_DEFAULT, maybe it's outta sync. Show the file "/etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default" what does it have?

deathsfriend99 · 02-07-2012, 09:29 PM

I can't find where $sqspell_use_app is defined, but it is apparently pulling "American English" out of somewhere.

/etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default:

Code:

american (American English)

So I can set my own dictionary and spell check appears to work correctly. Somehow the default is not setting for all users properly.

humbry · 02-08-2012, 02:26 AM

So my guess is that you have old preferences saved with the old dictionary name "American English". You should check if that's true and clear it out. Only other cause I can think of is something else in the code that sets that value wrong. You can grep for it in the source with something like

grep -r 'American English' *

You'll have to look through the results and find the places it only has those words in quotes and nothing else.
