Initializing WProofreader in CKEditor 4

This guide outlines the main steps that you need to follow for initializing WProofreader in CKEditor 4. 

You can see the demo of CKEditor 4 integration on our web site.

1. Initialize CKEditor 4

Before integrating and configuring WProofreader, make sure CKEditor 4 is properly configured in your web application. To initialize CKEditor 4, follow the steps described in CKEditor 4 Quick Start Guide.

2. Initialize WProofreader

Choose one of the options below how to enable spelling and grammar checking functionality of WProofreader in CKEditor 4.

Option A. Using autoSearch

When using this method, you need a CONFIG and a wscbundle.js script.

<script>
    window.WEBSPELLCHECKER_CONFIG = {
		autoSearch:true,
		lang: 'uk_UA',
		...
	};
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http(s)://your_host_name/wscservice/wscbundle/wscbundle.js"></script>

After setting up the autoSearch, WProofreader will be enabled as soon as the editable container with CKEditor is in focus.

Option B. Using init() method

When using this method, WProofreader will be started on the CKEditor 4 load.

-->

<div id="ckeditor4-editor">
    <p>These are an examples of a sentences with two mispelled words and grammar problems. Just type text with misspelling to see how it works.</p>
</div>

<script>
	CKEDITOR.disableAutoInline = true;

	CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function(event) {
		var editor = event.editor;

    	WEBSPELLCHECKER.init({
			//catch both iframe and inline modes 
        	container: editor.window.getFrame() ? editor.window.getFrame().$ : editor.element.$
		});
	});
	
	CKEDITOR.replace('ckeditor4-editor', {});
