CKEditor is a text editor used by mostly sites and also under public license. it’s easy to use with php but need more effort to use ckeditor in codeigniter. i am trying to make it simple and sharing what i have done to integrate ckeditor or ckfinder in codeigniter site.
I am using both ckeditor and ckfinder in codeigniter to use images also. we need to include libraries and make controller and need some code to view for done.

Steps:-

1. Download code and extract and upload libraries and js(ckeditor and ckfinder) dir(if you don’t want to use js change path in controller to your uploaded dir)

2. Controller :- create a controller under controllers and add below code :-
Add a function in controller :-

function editor($path,$width) {
    //Loading Library For Ckeditor
    $this->load->library('ckeditor');
    $this->load->library('ckFinder');
    //configure base path of ckeditor folder
    $this->ckeditor->basePath = base_url().'js/ckeditor/';
    $this->ckeditor-> config['toolbar'] = 'Full';
    $this->ckeditor->config['language'] = 'en';
    $this->ckeditor-> config['width'] = $width;
    //configure ckfinder with ckeditor config
    $this->ckfinder->SetupCKEditor($this->ckeditor,$path);
  }

Add below code in which function you need to add ckeditor :-

$path = '../js/ckfinder';
$width = '850px';
$this->editor($path, $width);

3. View :- add below code to show ckeditor to view and set default value if you want.

<?php echo $this->ckeditor->editor('description',@$default_value);?>

Note :- After set all you need to change image save path

4. Change Image path :- for change image save path you must need to go to “js/ckfinder/config.php”

search for below code and change with your path:-

	
$baseUrl = '/ci/userfiles/';
ckeditor
