    greetings,
    is there a way to get a spell check feature working with the content editor in modx?
    thanks

      I believe that both Tiny MCE and FCK Editor have spell checking plugins available. I think you’d have to look there for how to implement them.

        yes, after a little research TinyMCE does have a spellcheck module and i got this to work in modx really easily within 15 minutes. so if anyone else needs to know ...

        the spellcheck plugin can be downloaded here:
        http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php

        and the wiki documentation for the spellchecker is here:
        http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Plugins/spellchecker

        i followed the installation instructions on the above wiki page and then within modx configuration:

        - set TinyMCE theme to custom
        - added "spellchecker" to the end of the Custom Plugins line
        - added "separator,spellchecker" to the end of row 1 custom buttons

        that was it smiley

        note: i already had PSpell installed on my server and i only needed the default english library so i needed do no further configuration or installation.
