Re: Javascript libraries with images/css inside Cake Plugins

I'm pretty sure its not the 'prefacing' etc. But I may be wrong.

I basically had the same problem with ext-js. I didn't ever find a
good solution. But there has to be somewhere to change the Cake
settings. My problem was that the library css was referencing
relative urls of images, but the images were not accessible unless
they were located under the plugin_name/img folder. And if I put the
whole library under the plugin_name/js folder the css and images were
not accessible.

If it were all my own code it wouldn't be an issue, but as they're 3rd
party libraries its preferable not to change paths in the css etc.
