Magento Multiple Store Views - cannot get css and js files for new stores

Question

I'm setting up a few Magento stores that will work from the same back-end admin panel, but I'm having a problem with the index.php files for the new stores.

I'm altering the last line of code in the example below. It was originally 'Mage::run($mageRunCode, $mageRunType);',which would get all the css and js files but would not display the correct store categories.

I then changed it to Mage::run('shoestore', 'website'); as it tells you to in this tutorial from the Magneto website. The correct categories are then displayed, however the css and js files are no longer working, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Have you set the correct skin folder for each store view in the backend? — smiggle
Hi Smiggle, I hadn't since that field was left unaltered in the video tutorial I linked to, however I added '../skin/' to the Base Skin URL at your suggestion and it's now working, thanks! :) — thekingsrook

Smiggle solved this for me in his comment; I hadn't specified the correct path to the Base Skin URL from the new stores index.php, go to System-Config-Your Store and then and then add '../skin/' to the Base Skin URL.
