I'm creating a website/codeigniter-project that uses views which link to external CSS files.
Everywhere throughout my project/web-page's views I can control the URL paths of images, links, etc by constructing them from the 'base_url' setting variable. I don't have any control over static, linked external CSS files. This means that whenever my base URL path changes for my site I have to go through my CSS files and do global search/replaces to update all my paths.
To solve this I thought about creating a controller just to load CSS/JavaScript files and treating the actual files like views with hooks but I was talked out of this by @WesleyMurch in this question:
Using a controller to handle returning customized css & javascript files with codeigniter
How can I dynamically assign base-paths to my css assets so I don't have to do global search and replaces every time I update the base path of my site?
