I’ve just released the next version of the FCKeditor plugin. The main change in this version is the addition of the spell check functionality using ASpell. A big thank you to Ken Pratt for providing the patch for that and at the same time providing a solution (I hope) to the routing issues that some people have had.

If you already have this plugin installed you can upgrade by just deleting the existing install and getting it again. If you have altered the fckcustom.js file then you will need to add:

FCKConfig.SpellChecker = 'SpellerPages';

to it . If not just delete that too before reinstalling. You also need to be sure that ASpell is installed along with any dictionaries you want to use (If you are on windows check the README for the expected install directory).

Basically we (well he, I just extended it a bit) added the following to init.rb to add the required routes on startup:

# add a route for spellcheck
class ActionController::Routing::RouteSet
  alias draw_without_spelling draw
  def draw_with_spelling
    draw_without_spelling do |map|
      map.connect 'fckeditor/check_spelling', :controller => 'fckeditor', :action => 'check_spelling'
      map.connect 'fckeditor/command', :controller => 'fckeditor', :action => 'command'
      map.connect 'fckeditor/upload', :controller => 'fckeditor', :action => 'upload'
      yield map
    end
  end
  alias draw draw_with_spelling
end

The Flash upload should now also be working. It is worth noting that images are now uploaded to uploads/Image and flash movies to uploads/Flash. This means that you will need to either copy any existing images to the Image dir (so all existing posts continue to work) or move them (which’ll break any existing uses).

There is still an issue with the refreshing of the resource manager after a file upload from within it, but the upload does function.

Oh, and the extra #{value} has been removed thanks to x0n for pointing that out.

There is also an updated demo.
