[Chameleon] having skins in a custom directory

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi list,

I have my skin directory positioned under a custom directory
(apps/geoservices/htdocs/skins), and most of the Chameleon functionality
works fine.

There is however a problem with the Ruler widget, since fileSystemToURL does
not seem to be able to deal with such a situation.

        $szRulerPix = $oApp->findFile( "images/ruler_pix.gif" );
        $szRulerPix = $oApp->fileSystemToURL( $szRulerPix );

The outcome of this is:

http://145.50.148.45:82/data/geoservices-50/apps/geoservices/htdocs/skins/ge
oservices/images/ruler_pix.gif

which is the file path (/data/geoservices-50) appended to the ip:port
combination.

What is the correct way to deal with this kind of situation?

One way to solve it is to move up case 4 in the findFile routine so this
will be the first option checked by Chameleon (since the ruler images are
also under /chameleon/htdocs/images):

        /* case 4 - relative to chameleon */
        $szTempPath = $this->resolvePath2( $szFilePath,
$_SESSION['gszCorePath'] );
        clearstatcache();
        if ($szTempPath != "" && file_exists($szTempPath))
        {
            //echo "found: $szTempPath<BR>\n";
            return $szTempPath;
        }

However, I cannot foresee if this will have unwanted side effects (what is
the use of chameleon/htdocs/images anyway compared to the skins/images ?).

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart
