Enabling or disabling spell checking in the Ad Hoc text editor

By default, the spell checking functionality built into the web browser is enabled in the Ad Hoc text editor. You can enable or disable this functionality by updating the adhoc.properties file.

Prerequisite for spell checking

•	To enable spell checking in the Ad Hoc text editor, the spell checking options for the web browser must also be enabled. For information on how to do this, see the user documentation for the web browser.

To enable of disable spell checking in the Ad Hoc text editor

1	Open the adhoc.properties file in a text editor. The file is located in:

<Portal root>\<Name>_adhoc\WEB-INF\spring\properties

For example, for Apache Tomcat:

<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\<Name>_adhoc\WEB-INF\spring\properties

Note:

If you use an external directory (outside the portal root) for the configuration files, you must update the property file in this directory.

2	Go to the #tinymce conf section.

3	Update the following property to enable the spell checker plug-in for the text editor:

tinyMCE.plugins=safari,strstable,paste,fullscreen,inlinepopups,metadatagroups,spellchecker

4	Update the following property to add the spell checker toggle button to the text editor:

tinyMCE.theme_advanced_buttons1=bold,italic,underline,|,fontselect,fontsizeselect,|,forecolor,removeformat,spellchecker

5	Update the following property to enable or disable spell checking on page loading:

tinyMCE.spellcheck_enable=true|false

Note:

Even if spell checking is disabled on page load, the Ad Hoc user can still enable spell checking by clicking the spell checker toggle button in the Ad Hoc text editor.

6	Save and close the property file.

7	Refresh the web browser by pressing the F5 key.
