Include nanospell in TinyMCE

[suntrop]

I was trying to activate the spell checker in TinyMCE (PW 2.4) as I read it isn't available anymore, because Google put it down.

Now I tried for almost 2 hours to get nanospell (http://tinymcespellcheck.com) activated without luck.

I downloaded the plugin, put it into /site/tinymce/plugins/nanospell and copied that path into the Third-party plugins field for my body field. But whenever I save it, the field doesn't load. And I can't get this working.

nanospell itself works fine on my server, I tried their example that comes with the plugin. 

Where do I have to put those 4 lines:

tinymce.init({
	selector:'textarea',
	external_plugins: {"nanospell": "/site/tinymce/plugins/nanospell/plugin.js"},
	nanospell_server: "php",
        nanospell_dictionary: "en,de" 
	});

Details tab of the RTE field > TinMCE Advanced Config Options > Third Party Plugins

Details tab of the RTE field > TinMCE Advanced Config Options > Third Party Plugins

That's the place where I have put in nanospell's  path. I don't think all the init() comes there (tried it, but doesn't work either).

Nobody who knows how to use the field and implement? Cannot find this one in the documentation.

The TinyMCE Spell checker I have user I placed in:

/site/tinymce/myplugins/spellchecker

Then in the Third Party Plugins bit I put:

spellchecker : /site/tinymce/myplugins/spellchecker

And then in Buttons 1 I added spellchecker

I think it was this one:

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/plugin:spellchecker

Just as a thought, you may be able to do the additional setting in config.php within the nanospell plugin folder

Also...

Did you try and put 

selector:'textarea',

nanospell_server: "php",

nanospell_dictionary: "en,de" 

 

Into Additional Settings?

It feels like I tried hundreds of combinations

But, if I insert in third party plugins 

nanospell : /site/tinymce/plugins/nanospell

the body field (TinyMCE editor) won't load at all. The browser console says the editor_plugin.js is missing. If I rename the plugin.js (within the nanospell folder) there is another JS file that is missing, and so on.

The default spellchecker that shipps with TinyMCE works, but it only works if you click the button before you start writing. It doesn't underline words that are already typed as you click the toolbar button.

Are you sure the version of the plugin you are installing is compatible with this version of TinyMCE?

[suntrop]

Ok, this could be the reason. It seems this one is build for v 4 of TinyMCE. Seems there is no good way to integrate a spell checker into the editor.

Anyway, thanks for your help!!

I have found the spellchecker plugin I mentioned earlier works very well. 

You could also use CKEditor instead, if you wanted to.

Unfortunately there isn't aspell installed on this server and Google's spell checker isn't working anymore.

Tried this one: http://javascriptspellcheck.com but it does support "check as you type" only for none RTE. However, you can use it in a separate pop-up window.

I now switched to CKEditor. WebSpellChecker works fine
