Spellchecker for windows pre-Feb 2010
On Windows systems, you have to make two basic changes.
1. You have to download the aspell binary from http://aspell.net/win32/ and then download and install your required language file(s).
2. Open fckg/fckeditor/editor/dialog/fck_spellerpages/spellerpages/server-scripts/spellchecker.php and at the top of the file comment out:
$aspell_prog = 'aspell'; // by FredCK (for Linux)
and uncomment:
// $aspell_prog = '"C:\\Program Files\\Aspell\\bin\\aspell.exe"';
So you will now have:
// $aspell_prog = 'aspell'; // by FredCK (for Linux)
$aspell_prog = '"C:\\Program Files\\Aspell\\bin\\aspell.exe"';
C:\Program Files\Aspell\bin\aspell.exe is the default location for the aspell binary on Windows, but if yours is in a different location you must change the path. Make sure that you use the exact punctuation: the path in double quotes surrounded by single quotes.
If you want to be able to select from a list of languages, then you make a change to a second file: fckg\fckeditor\aspell.php. At approximately line 72 you have to add the windows binary to the function call. So change
exec("aspell dump dicts", $dicts,$retv);
to:
$aspell_prog= '"C:\\Program Files\\Aspell\\bin\\aspell.exe"';
exec("$aspell_prog dump dicts", $dicts,$retv);
Then you will be able to click on the language button and make a language selection from the languages installed on your system.
