Nox spell server

[jpweb]

 It appears that Googiespell or Google does not work for me anyone advise how to use or install the NOX spell checker instead.

Thanks

I sent this to you via PM, but I figured others might want the information, too:

You can get the Nox spell server from http://orangoo.com/labs/GoogieSpell/Download/Nox%20Spell%20Server/ and there are instructions there on how to install it. Once it is up and running, find this section in the RoundCube main.inc.php file, and set the variable like so:

Code Select Expand

// For a locally installed Nox Spell Server, please specify the URI to call it.
// Get Nox Spell Server from [url]http://orangoo.com/labs/?page_id=72[/url]
// Leave empty to use the Google spell checking service, what means
// that the message content will be sent to Google in order to check spelling
$rcmail_config['spellcheck_uri'] = '127.0.0.1:14003/?lang=';
That should do it. Sometime after Christmas I'll write some (better) instructions for this and put it on the Wiki.

When I was trying to come up with a good set of instructions, I discovered that TinyMCE (the HTML editor in RoundCube) doesn't use the Nox server even if you set it up. I opened a ticket to hopefully get this fixed (#1484196, http://trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/ticket/1484196 )

My errors in the HTML spell check were caused by a missing CURL module on one server, and I have since discovered that Firefox hadn't crashed on me by pure luck. I was able to get it to crash maybe once out of 20 tries, even with the same content in each try.

I put everything I found into the related tickets on Trac, so you might want to check the open tickets periodically:

Ticket #1484196 (Bugs)
TinyMCE Spellcheck does not respect spellcheck_uri from main.inc.php

Ticket #1484080 (Bugs)
TinyMCE Spellcheck doesn't work in FireFox

It also seems that the it won't give back the Spell Check Icon in the header, even a user switches back to plain text composition.

I thought it was just me. Thanks for making the attempt at those instructions jpingle.

No problem. The more bugs we find, the more that get fixed, and the better RoundCube gets!

I would open up a new trouble ticket for that, since it isn't exactly related to any of the current open issues.

[jpweb]

have you come up with step by step for any spellchecker I still cant get it to work for me.

Not quite yet I haven't had a chance to walk though it a few more times to be sure I didn't leave anything out. When I come up with a good set I'll post them here and on the wiki.
