tinyMCE spell checking hangs if no port 443 available

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi all....Just wanted to share a problem and a resolution....if your C5 server is behind a firewall that does not allow SSL connections, the spell check in tinyMCE will not work. tinyMCE relies on a GoogleSpell API that requires ssl/port 443. If there is no connectivity on that port, the spell check function will hand for a few minutes and then error out with a blank error screen.

You can go into the [base]/concrete/js/tinymce/plugins/spellchecker directory and edit the config.php file to use any of a few different spell checkers listed in there...of which I chose the binary that was installed on my system (aspell). Now it works!

Just thought I would share in case someone else runs into this in the future...

I think it would be helpful to submit this as a bug.

You could also write a how-to on how to change what spellchecker TinyMCE uses.
