FCKeditor 2.6.5 released!
A new major release of our good and widely known FCKeditor is available. We've been focused on fixing small compatibility issues with some browsers (IE8 mainly) and porting a nice feature introduced with CKEditor 3, our unique Spell Check As You Type (SCAYT) solution.
This release also introduces some important security fixes. Upgrading is highly recommended.
Special thanks to Pete Freitag Foundeo Inc. for reporting the security issue.
A complete list of changes is available here.
Spell Check As You Type (SCAYT)
This is one of the exciting new features introduced with CKEditor. A new spell checking solution that becomes usual to end users due to its usability. Misspelled words will be highlighted with a red line, having replacement suggestions when opening the context menu over them. We're know offering it in FCKeditor also.
This feature is available in partnership with SpellChecker.net for free. The free version actually presents a banner space with advertising, but requires no server installations to have in working, as long as Internet connection is available. It's an out of the box solution. A banner free version of it as well as locally hosted solutions are available under payment directly from SpellChecker.net.

Is a new release in the works. If so, when will it be available. Is there a way I can promote an issue (4060) into the release?

SCAYT does not work with two instances
SCAYT throws an error when you have more than one FCKEditor on a page. Firebug reports the error as "uncaught exception: Could not load cross-domain resources: "
Also, is there a way to call the non-SCAYT spellchecker on non FCKEditor form fields (at the time of the form submission)?
Update with more information
http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16167&p=41918#p41918
Looks like the error is in the scayt autoloader. If you turn that off, then the instances work fine when you turn them on manually. I'm looking to see if there is a way to enable SCAYT after each instance loads, via the FCKeditor_OnComplete method.
Ticket it!
Hey Nate, thanks for the details. Please be sure to have a ticket for it at our dev site, so you can follow the evolution of this issue. Thanks!
Done and done
I thought the community boards were the place to mention the issue, but I've gone ahead and created a ticket (#4667).
Thanks for the tip!
Licencing of FCKeditor
Can some one please help me with a question? If I use FCKeditor in a company website which allows the users to update news articles and page content. Do I have to pay for a seperate corporate licence or can the software be used for free under the GPL licence. I am stuck. If I have to pay then I have a problem.
Thanks
Scayt Toolbar button
I added the code to FCK editor to enable SCAYT as the default spell checker.
But the tool bar button 'SpellCheck' has remained the same. Is there a different button that I need to add for it to work, or 'Scayt' after it, or anything?
I'm so excited to add this feature, but I'm really struggling with finding how to add the button. Here is the code string that I added to my config.js file.
FCKConfig.SpellChecker = 'SCAYT' ;
Adobe AIR
Hi, I've been using FCKEditor in AIR, but in this new version, the Paste function has stopped working.
Also, I'm unable to get SCAYT to work. It never loads and doesn't produce an error that we can follow. Has anyone been able to get SCAYT working in AIR?
Thanks,
Install FCKEditor as a Zen Cart plugin
Is this 2.6.5 can be installed into Zen Cart e-commerce like the previous versions? If yes, how? Please give step by step instructions.
I've searched the Zen Cart website and the net for info on FCKEditor installation for a week now. Found some answers, but they are not for newbies and often don't work.
Please help.
Thanks.

How to make SCAYT default spell-checker in FCKeditor 2.6.5
To make SpellCheckAsYouType (SCAYT) a default spell-checker in FCKeditor 2.6.5 please follow the instruction below:
1) Open ckconfig.js (…\FCKeditor_2.6.5\fckeditor\fckconfig.js) for edit

Load FCKEditor with SCAYT enable and another language
I have SCAYT as my default spell-checker but i have to click ENABLE SCAYT to start checking, that was my doubt.
But more important it's to know if i can set the config to load SCAYT in another language different than English. I think it would be better if SCAYT could be loaded with the current language of the FCKeditor.
SCAYT enable
Add
FCKConfig.ScaytAutoStartup = true;
to your config file to enable it initially
IE8 and SCAYT problem
Have activated SCAYT okay in IE8 and seems to work well, however when I activate it I can no longer right-click on an image to get image context menu - instead get
Web Page Error:
Line: 3275
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
If I deactivate SCAYT and try again I get same error (once SCAYT code is loaded)
Any suggestions? Is there a known fix?
IE8 and SCAYT problem
We were able to reproduce the reported problem. We will get back to you with a comment when it is fixed.
IE8 and SCAYT problem is fixed
Issue with WebPageError when right-clicking on the image is fixed.
SCAYT not working for me
How to get it activated? What is the name of the button for the tollbar to get it added there? Tried 'Scayt' but it didn't work - error message "Unknown button Scayt defined" or something similar.
How to enable SCAYT in FCKeditor 2.6.5
1) Open ckconfig.js (…\FCKeditor_2.6.5\fckeditor\fckconfig.js) for edit
2) Change the value of parameter “FCKConfig.SpellChecker” to “SCAYT”
It should look like:
FCKConfig.SpellChecker = 'SCAYT' ;
Done it - no go
Thanks for the answer. I tried it - no go. When I change this option to the 'SCAYT' value - the usual button for the Spell Cheking is no longer working as it was before (it was popping up the manual spell checking window) and clicking it doesn't produce any actions or change the button state - just nothing.
As I'm getting it - there should one more button for the Scayt functionality and you shoud press it and activate the Scayt ('Load Scayt' or something like that)... How to get it?
Sorry, was wrong
Tried it once again - and it actually worked. It changed the usual spell-checking button to the SCAYT one and allowed me to Enable SCAYT :) Thanks for your help!
