[Chameleon] Moving custom widget/skin files'

[Paul Spencer]

Joanne,

final fix that I applied was:

/* case 1 - skin search path relative to app */
         foreach( array_reverse($this->maszSkinSearchPath) as $szPath )
         {
             //echo "searching registered skin path $szPath<BR>\n";
             if ($this->isAbsolutePath($szPath))
             {
                 $szTempPath = $this->resolvePath2( $szFilePath, $szPath );
             }
             else
             {
                 $szTempPath = $this->resolvePath2( $szFilePath, 
$_SESSION['gszAppPath'].'/'.$szPath."/" );
             }
             //echo "resolved search path to $szTempPath<BR>\n";
             clearstatcache();
             if ($szTempPath != "" && file_exists($szTempPath))
             {
                 //echo "found in registered skin: $szTempPath<BR>\n";
                 return $szTempPath;
             }
         }

This resolves the problem with finding the files, but it doesn't 
necessarily work if you are not using the button generator (i.e. if you 
are using the images as the buttons themselves) because the files also 
have to be web-accessible and the application needs to know where to 
find them.
