    Spell Checker in TinyMCE

    Although I seemed to have set the rich text editor to display the spell checker button, it does not appear. What have I missed?

    What steps did you take to enable the spell checker?

    To enable to spell checker the following steps should work :-

    • Identify the name the RTE data type in the relevant document type (Settings -> Document Types -> Generic Properties)
    • Enable spell checker in the data type found in the previous step. (Developer -> Data Types -> [Data Type Name] -> Buttons -> Spell Checker

    Also it could be that your display is too narrow to show all icons at once. If this is the case you can hover over the right arrow on the toolbar to scroll the icons.

    Hi Mark

    +1 for what Doug is saying.

    If that does not work I think you should check to see the settings in the tinyMceEditorConfig.config file in the "config" folder on the filesystem to make sure that there has been made a reference to a spellchecker.

    Thanks for your help on this. Using Doug's help I found that I was enabeling the spellchecker in the wrong data type ( Richtext, when it should have been CWS:Richtext ) Duh !

     

    Now the button is in TinyMCE but when I click on it I get an error:

    Server Error in '/' Application.

    Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
    Parameter name: length

    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Exception Details: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
    Parameter name: length

     

    Looking at the tinyMCE config file there is an entry for the spellchecker:

    <command>

          <umbracoAlias>mceSpellCheck</umbracoAlias>

          <icon>images/editor/spellchecker.gif</icon>

          <tinyMceCommand value="" userInterface="true" frontendCommand="mceSpellCheck">spellchecker</tinyMceCommand>

          <priority>75</priority>

        </command>

     

    What should this look like?
