Spell checker for CKEditor

[NoGi]

Can anyone recommend a add-free spell checker that is fairly light weight? I tried to install nanospell but that errored on install via ACP.

Speckie (found here) http://speckie.com/ is a good free spell checker for IE and also works in FF.

Wanting something that will work with the new editor in IPS4 and isn't tied down to just iE and FF.

​What was the error exactly?

Sorry, you do not have permission for that!

1C120/9 The plugin does not appear to be valid. Make sure that you have uploaded the plugin exactly as you downloaded it.

Most modern browsers have this built in these days, so there really isn't a need for this as a plugin in 2015.

​I agree but for some reason, when I right-click I don't get spelling options, instead the CKEditor takes over and shows on cut/paste etc... Even after a restore to defaults with no plugins installed

[Rhett]

What browser are you using?

 

[NoGi]

Chrome. I'll give it another whirl

[Rhett]

Hmm I use chrome on both windows and mac and it works ok, what version of our software is this on? 

[NoGi]

Ok, got it working. Seems like you can't have the context menu plug-in as that takes over the right-click option. A shame really as it was a useful plugin especially with tables.

[Nathan Explosion]

Up to you as to whether to use this but you can invoke the in-browser spell check functionality using a ckeditor configuration setting called disableNativeSpellChecker. By default it is true so the in-browser spell check is disabled.

To put this in, do the following:

1) Edit /applications/core/interface/ckeditor/ckeditor/config.js
2) At the end but before the last curly brace "}" add the following: a.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;
3) Save the file
4) May have to perform a re-cache to force this through.

What now happens?

As you type, you will now see the words being marked out as incorrect. To then see the list of options - press Ctrl + right click to invoke the browser's own context menu.

If you do the above and it doesn't work, please back off the change and post up the content of your config.js for further help.

Regarding the error you posted above - the reason that appears is purely down to the content of the zip file. If you want to go ahead and install that spell checker then you will need to pull the nanospell.ckeditor directory out of the original zip, then zip that directory up into a file and use that in the ACP instead. I will advise though that I installed it and it borked the editor in the ACP and I had to restore to the default configuration. I'm sure there is additional work to be done to make that plugin work, so I'll take a look at it at a later point to see if I can suss out that one.

Please test this on your own test site before doing this.

Thanks for exploring this further. For the moment, I've removed the problematic plug-in and will do without until I've sorted through other things on my site.
