Change the web based spell check to local Aspell

    Table of contents
    1. 1. Linux
    2. 2. Windows

     

    With the updated FCKeditor in Lyons, the spellcheck defaults to using the Web service Spellchecker.net.  This is a nice service that includes a thesaurus and is free to use with ads being displayed at the top of the spell check window.  This can be an issue though for users running behind a firewall that won't allow the server to call the remote service spellchecker.net.

    To change back to aspell do the following steps:

    Linux

    nano /var/www/dekiwiki/editor/fckeditor/core/fckconfig.js
    

    Then change the following line from:

    FCKConfig.SpellChecker = 'WSC' ;      // 'WSC' | 'SpellerPages' | 'ieSpell'
    

    to this:

    FCKConfig.SpellChecker = 'SpellerPages' ;      // 'WSC' | 'SpellerPages' | 'ieSpell'
    

     

    The WSC stands for Web Spell Check which is the Spellchecker.net.  Once you have done this then the spellcheck in the editor will use aspell as the spell check engine.

     

    Windows

    At this time Windows isn't supported for a local install of Aspell because of security concerns.
