[Solved] Enabling Spell Checker in Prometheus Rad Editor

[reethish]

Hi,
        I'm using prometheus version of Rad Editor in my page. I enabled the spell checker in the Rad Editor by reading the online documentation. It says to add the required dictionaries (Ex:- en-US.tdf) in the "App_Data/RadSpell" folder of the website application and add the following piece of code in the web.config file

<add verb="*" validate="false" path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler, Telerik.Web.UI"/>

I tried doing the things and if i click on the spellChecker button in the Rad Editor I'm getting the alert message with the following text "The command SpellCheck is not implemented yet". Can any one help me out in resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Reethish

Hello Reethish,

RadEditor "Prometheus" does not have such a command named SpellCheck. If you want to use the integrated inline spellchecker of RadEditor "Prometheus" you need to add the AjaxSpellCheck tool, e.g.

<telerik:radeditor runat="server" id="RadEditor1">
 <tools>
  <telerik:editortoolgroup>
       <telerik:editortool name="AjaxSpellCheck" />
  </telerik:editortoolgroup>
 </tools>
 <content>
  There are somee miztakes in this text
 </content>
    <SpellCheckSettings SpellCheckProvider="PhoneticProvider" WordIgnoreOptions="RepeatedWords" />
</telerik:radeditor>

If you want to use the dialog based spellchecker with RadEditor "Prometheus", then you can use the solution provided in the following KB article: Using RadSpell "Prometheus" dialog with RadEditor "Prometheus" as a custom tool.

Hello Rumen,

        Thanks for the timely reply. It resolved my issue. But the design of the RadEditor is getting collapsed while doing the spell check operation. The message displayed with the Yellow background pushes the content area down.
Could you help me out in fixing this issue?

Thanks in Advance,
Reethish

Hi,

You can fix this by writing your own shorter spell message by modifying the SpellingMode value strings in the \App_GlobalResources\RadEditor.Main.resx. Open this file, locate the SpellingMode name string and reduce the size of the localization string.
