Javascript and css not found when using masked access to control panel
I am using a subdomain to mask access to my control panel. In this instance the low variables javascript and css files are not found. Please change the link to your javascript and css files to make them work for people using this configuration of EE.
Thanks

I knew this would come sooner or later.
I'll change the setup and release a fix soon.

Sorry to be the one! You can get around it by creating the folders and files wherever your masked access is, but that creates more work when it comes time to updating, as you have to remember to update those files too.

Good to hear you've got a workaround.
I just dislike the way EE reads all its CSS and JS and dumps it in the page source. Guess this is why. Too bad that approach screws up any relative linking to images in the CSS... Oh well.
Working on a fix as we speak.

Hmmm, just to be sure we are talking about the same thing: These are the files that aren't found for me when masking access to CP:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/modules/low_variables/css/low_variables.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://example.com/modules/low_variables/javascript/jquery.cookie.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://example.com/modules/low_variables/javascript/low_variables.js"></script>
They aren't being dumped into the page source, they just aren't being found.
(EE 1.6.8)

Yeah, sorry, what I explained above is the normal way EE includes JS and CSS. That's what I don't really like, so I chose to determine the URLs and link to those. But that doesn't work for masked url's (or installations above web root), so I'll have to take on EE's approach anyway.

As of version 1.2.0, the masked cp url issue should be solved.
