How to Enable TinyMCE Browser Spellcheck Passthrough?

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)

TinyMCE seems to have the option to allow browser based spell check (i.e. the spellcheck built into Chrome/Firefox) that can be enabled in the init call. Here is a bit from their docs page:

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  **browser_spellcheck: true,**
  contextmenu: false
});

Is there anyway to turn on “browser_spellcheck” option in the PHPMaker launch of TinyMCE? I know they sell a module but it is outrageously priced for our small team and is subscription based & browser spellcheck would be fine for our purposes. Thanks!

You may search “create.editor” in the forum and use the event to add your own settings.

Thanks for the search term help. Here is at least one way to get pass-through spell check to work with TinyMCE:

In the Code tab under “Client Scripts, Table Specific, Add/Copy Page, Client Script” add the following code. This code assumes the field being edited in tinyMCE is named “Notes” (substitute your own field name as needed):

$(document).on("create.editor", function(e, args) {
    if (args && args.id == "x_Notes") {
        args.settings.browser_spellcheck = true;
        args.settings.contextmenu = false;
    } 
});

For a more generalized solution you could place the following into “Client Scripts, Global, Pages with header/footer, Client Script”:

$(document).on("create.editor", function(e, args) {
        args.settings.browser_spellcheck = true;
        args.settings.contextmenu = false;
});
