TinyMCE ASpell Installation
1. Installation
TinyMCE is the editor control used by WoodWing’s
Web Editor and the text editor of WoodWing's
Content Station. It handles the typed text, but also
offers spelling. By default, Google spelling is used,
which requires to have access to the outside world
(WAN). For customers who dislike this idea, there is
an alternative spelling checker named ASpell. This
can be used instead of Google spelling, and does
spell checking by itself. Spelling checks are done
server side, and so it works in environments that
have no access to the outside world (WAN).
An ASpell spell-check engine will need to be installed on
the same system that has got TinyMCE installed—as part
of the Web Editor installation—so that PHP can call the
ASpell command for SpellChecker.
The installation of ASpell involves performing the following
steps:
Installation of the ASpell Engine
Installation of the ASpell Dictionary
Enterprise configuration
This document describes how to integrate GNU’s ASpell
spell-checker engine in the TinyMCE editor control.
Each step is explained in the sections on the following
pages.
This document applies only to an environment in
which Enterprise 6 with TinyMCE 3 is used.

2. Enterprise Configuration
Windows
In order for the TinyMCE controls in the WoodWing applications to work properly with the ASpell spell-checker,
two configuration needs to be configured in the Enterprise
system: the general configserver.php file and the spellcheck config.php file.
Windows with Apache & WAMP
configserver.php
c:\wamp\www\Enterprise\config
config.php
Both files can be found at the following location:
c:\wamp\www\Enterprise\server\
tinymce3\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins\
spellchecker
Mac OS
configserver.php
Linux
/Library/WebServer/Documents/Enterprise/config
config.php
configserver.php
/Library/WebServer/Documents/Enterprise/server/
tinymce3/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/spellchecker
/var/www/html/Enterprise/config
config.php
/var/www/html/Enterprise/server/tinymce3/jscripts/
tiny_mce/plugins/spellchecker
Windows
Windows with IIS
configserver.php
To edit either file, open it in a standard text editor
such as Notepad, TextEdit or TextWrangler.
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise\config
config.php
When editing the files, always use forward slashes
‘/’ as path separators and make sure to keep the
correct PHP syntax.
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise\server\
tinymce3\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins\
spellchecker
Windows with Apache 2
configserver.php
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\
htdocs\Enterprise\config
config.php
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\
htdocs\Enterprise\server\tinymce3\jscripts\

2.2 Configuration in SpellCheck config.php
2.1 Configuration in configserver.php
In the configserver.php file, add a new feature to the list
of SERVERFEATURES:
Two lines need to be changed in the SpellCheck
config.php file:
Windows
new Feature( 'WebEditorSpellingEngine', 'ASpell')
In situations where this feature does not exist, the
system will apply the default SpellingEngine
(GoogleSpell).
O n
line 35, set the variable
$config['PSpellShell.aspell'] to the
installation of Aspell application.
For example:
$config['PSpellShell.aspell'] =
'c:/Progra~1/ASpell/bin/aspell.
exe';
The ~ is required for any file path
containing spaces so that PHP can
access that path.
On line 36, set the variable $con-
fig['PSp ellShell.t m p'] to the
temporary folder.
For example:
$config['PSpellShell.tmp'] = 'c:/
temp';
Make sure that the Web Server user
(IUSR_machine_name), has access
to C:/temp.

On line 40, set the variable $con-
Issue: Message appears ‘No misspellings found.’
when using the English dictionary, even though
words are clearly spelled wrong.
For example:
$config['PSpellShell.aspell'] =
'/usr/local/bin/aspell';
Please make sure of the following:
fig['PSpellShell.aspell'] to the
installation of Aspell application.
Ensure that the ASpell engine has been cor-
rectly installed (see section 1.1 ASpell Engine
Installation.)
Check the installation path; default C:\
Program Files\ASpell (Windows) or /usr/local/
bin/ASpell (Mac OS/Linux)
Ensure that the ASpell dictionary has been
correctly installed (see section 1.2 ASpell
Dictionary Installation.)
Check the installation path; default C:\
Program Files\ASpell\Dict (Windows) or /usr/
local/bin/lib/aspell-0.60 (Mac OS/Linux)
Make sure that the Web Server user (IUSR_
machine_name), has access to the cmd.exe file
located in C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Winnt\
System32 respectively.
Make sure that the Web Server user (IUSR_
machine_name), has access to the c:/temp
folder.
Make sure that the configuration in Enterprise
(configserver.php and config.php files) has been
done correctly.
On line 41, set the variable $con-
fig['PSp ellShell.t m p'] to the
temporary folder.
For example:
$config['PSpellShell.tmp'] = '/
tmp';
