Description

Built-in spell checker ignores cache_dir config parameter.

Current 1.9.4 code is as follows:

./action/SpellCheck.py:    cachename = os.path.join(request.cfg.data_dir, 'cache', 'spellchecker.dict')

thus bypassing attempts to redirect caches to non-default location.

If this is fixed then scope of cache needs to be thought about. Any global dict/words file could and should be cached on the farm level and local words on the instance level? Global dict/words is currently read from the source code directory (site-packages/MoinMoin/dict), it might make sense to be able to directly configure that to be something different (like /usr/dict/words) instead of having to copy dictionaries to into more protected source dir.

Steps to reproduce

1. See code snippet above

I do have a farmwiki and on a single one I always see in the edit window the option "spell check", if I use this feature I got the following error:

Strange is, that in another wiki (on the same farm) I do not even see this "spell check" button. I use the cache_dir to move my caches to a separate location for the whole farm. This BUG could be maybe the reason for my error, but I'm not sure. Any hints? -- MarcelHäfner 2013-06-20 22:21:26
