Editor Needs a Spell checker

Question

However i know that Q2A uses a third party editor, why it doesn't has any spell checker? Its really needed. What should i do to have a spell checker for posting questions and answers?

Comments

Anyone? I really think its needed. Please share your ideas about it.

I agree, sounds like a very good feature in order to build a website with quality content and without many spelling mistakes.

Thanks. So please try that developers add it as soon as possible. IMO its an urgent needed feature for this script.

Answer 1

I am still waiting for an answer. Its really needed.However i asked it in another question,I I still think its better that you change the default editor of Q2A to another one like TinyMCE. It will solve most problems., Currently, many users have problem with current editor. Its not good at all. Can you please change the default editor or please release another version with TinyMCE editor too. In this case users can choose one of them freely.

Its just a matter of configuring the toolbar in qa-wysiwyg-editor.php. Got to lines 137 to 149 and find this

"qa_wysiwyg_editor_config={toolbar:[".
                           "['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike'],".                        
                        "['Font','FontSize'],".
                        "['TextColor','BGColor'],".
                        "['Link','Unlink'],".
                        "'/',".
                        "['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],".
                        "['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],".
                        "['Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar'],".
                        "['RemoveFormat', 'Maximize']".
                    "]".

Replace with this

"qa_wysiwyg_editor_config={toolbar:[".
                        "['Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','-','Scayt'],".
                        "['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike'],".                        
                        "['Font','FontSize'],".
                        "['TextColor','BGColor'],".
                        "['Link','Unlink'],".
                        "['RemoveFormat', 'Maximize'],".
                        "'/',".
                        "['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo'],".
                        "['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],".
                        "['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],".
                        "['Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar']".
                    "]".

It adds a row of find, replace, select all and scayt - "['Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','-','Scayt'],". - which needs to be enabled when clicked, I have tested it in Chrome and Firefox and it works for me. I have also added
 "['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo'],". For added functions.

To tidy it up i have moved "['RemoveFormat', 'Maximize']". to the top line and added a comma before the quotation mark. This meant removing the comma from the end after SpecialChar']
