CKEditor -> CodeIgniter - php

Question

I am trying to configure CKEditor but I get the following in my source, it seems that the helper is not being sent any of the $data from my index function, My helper is located application/helpers
This is my code:
Helper:
<?php
if(!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

Answer 1

You do know that you can jst embed CK Editor with JS to a textarea, and not much around with all this.
http://ckeditor.com/demo
Hows you exactly how.. 3 second job.

Answer 2

One issue may be the double slash in your JS paths;
CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = 'http://house.dev.local//';
Also, is .htaccess blocking access to your CKEditor files ?
Where is your helper functions? what does it do ?
If that is the issue, please post it.
Also, your own helpers should NOT going in to 'system/helpers', they go in to your 'application/helpers', system helpers are for core helpers only.
