Hi all,
As per this (now closed) thread on installing a spellchecker plugin into my text editor tinyMCE:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/suggestions/24151/no-spellcheck-im-surprised
...and referencing this instruction page:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Plugin:spellchecker
The above page seemed to not have any downloadable plugin, but seemed to suggest i simply add the word "spellchecker" to the code in my Core template...so that's what i tried. Yeah, i know...pretty lame. Probably shouldn't be even trying this on my own. =8-\


I put the following code into my core_form_editor tpl as best as I could figure, cleared cache, but no spellchecker function seems to activate or be seen.
Can anyone suggest what i am doing wrong? I'm really just taking my best guess as to how the code needed to be added.
I added the "spellchecker" bit here to the two lines for "plugins" and "toolbar1":
{jrCore_module_url module="jrCore" assign="murl"}
tinymce.init({
    body_id: "{$form_editor_id}",
    content_css: "{$jamroom_url}/{$murl}/css/{$murl}/jrCore_tinymce.css?v={$_mods.jrCore.module_version}",
    toolbar_items_size : "small",
    element_format: "html",
    autoresize_bottom_margin: "3",
    keep_styles: false,
    theme: "{$theme}",
    selector: "textarea#{$form_editor_id}",
    relative_urls: false,
    remove_script_host: false,
    convert_fonts_to_spans: true,
    menubar: false,
    statusbar: false,
    paste_as_text: true,
    entity_encoding: "raw",
    height: "100%",
    image_advtab: true,
    plugins: "contextmenu,pagebreak,{if $jrsmiley}jrsmiley,{/if}{if $jrembed}jrembed,media{/if},image,autoresize,{if $table}table,{/if}link,code,fullscreen,textcolor,colorpicker,spellchecker,preview",
    toolbar1: "formatselect | fontselect forecolor {if $strong} bold{/if}{if $em} italic{/if}{if $span} underline{/if} | {if $span || $div} alignleft{/if}{if $span || $div} aligncenter{/if}{if $span || $div} alignright{/if}{if $span || $div} alignjustify |{/if}{if $ul && $li} bullist numlist |{/if}{if $div} outdent indent |{/if} undo redo | link unlink anchor pagebreak | spellchecker |{if $table} table{/if} | {if $hr} hr{/if}{if $sub && $sup} | sub sup {/if} | code preview fullscreen{if $jrembed || $jrsmiley} |{/if}{if $jrembed} jrembed{/if}{if $jrsmiley} jrsmiley{/if}",
    contextmenu: "link image | cut copy paste"
});

I have not looked at this in some time, but I believe there is a backend component required for this to work - it's not something we have ever setup.

I suspect some of these 'forum/discussion' function issues will increasingly come to the fore as more ex-Ning users get on board Jamroom. Many Ning networks do a whole lot of interactive discussion (yakking) as compared to, say, a business or a band site in general.
Bass players probably don't care much about spelling. (runs ducking for cover...lol)

Any chanmcewe can gett htis ? :)

Don't browsers pretty much all have spell check in them now?

I looked at spellcheck a while back and from memory there was a trade-off issue that I don't remember totally clearly.

It was something like; the options are either to use the browsers built in spell checker functionality which is the best option except if you do that then you cant have ________(some other functionality)___________. OR you can use a custom spellchecker plugin but the free one uses google provided functionality and google have shut down that service, so the option is a paid for system which exists.

Think this was the paid option: http://tinymcespellcheck.com/

I have an up to date Firefox spellchecker, have it enabled and checked. It's actively functioning right now as i type this sentence in this text box....but it does not function in our site's tinymce editor text boxes. (neither does cut/copy/paste except as keyboard commands, but that's another tale)

Michael, am I understanding correctly from that site you linked to, that their spellchecker would cost my $79 to use on my one domain?

I "think" thats what I came up with a few months back- that the spellchecker for tinymce has to be purchased now...

I think it might have been the context menu, so if you disable the contextmenu you can then use the browser spellcheck:

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:browser_spellcheck

But that means you don't have the context menu.
