[Owncloud] appswebroot path issue

[Florian Hülsmann]

AFAIK the app itself doesn't know its absolute directory and the 
directory of other apps, so the placeholders don't make that much sense 
to me. Assume an app called "myApp" that is in /var/www/owncloud/apps 
and another called "otherApp" that is in /var/www/oc-apps. This is 
possible through the movable apps feature. A CSS file from myApp would 
contain: ... url('%appswebroot%/myApp/img/foo.png') ... 
url('%appswebroot%/otherApp/img/bar.png') ...

which would break everything in case we're only replacing the 
placeholders with the app directory >:-(

I'd strongly recommend this in CSS:

url('index.php?app=myApp&getfile=img/foo.png')
url('index.php?app=otherApp&getfile=img/bar.png')

and make related modifications to the ownCloud core so it delivers the 
image (if it not already does ATM). An alternative would be our very own 
CSS syntax extension and maybe something like 
url('%imagepath:myApp:foo.png%') and some regex parsing, but that's no 
way intuitive for CSS developers..!
