plone.org references in plone.css

[Brad Bollenbach]

There are a bunch of places in plone.css that are still hitting plone.org, e.g.

.contentActions li {
    float: right;
    background-image: url(http://plone.org/arrowDownAlternative.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center right;
    z-index: 4;
    border-left: 1px solid #74ae0b;
    padding: 0 0 0 1em;
    margin: 0 1em 0 0;
}

These references to plone.org should be removed.

I think the ideais to leave plone.css exactly as it comes from plone.org, then use launchpad.css to override it. If there is an image ref in plone.css which refers to plone.org and is NOT being overridden in launchpad.css then it is a bug, but the fix is not to edit plone.css, but to update launchpad.css to override plone.css.

I'm happy with overriding plone.css in the "Fix plone.css bugs" section of launchpad.css. (The proper fix is for the Plone people to change all non-comment occurrences of "http://plone.org/" to "/" in plone.css. That would Do The Right Thing for every Plone site.)

But I can't fix it until the images in launchpad/images/ are made accessible to Launchpad. For example, <http://plone.org/info_icon.gif> works, but <http://localhost:8086/info_icon.gif> doesn't (nor <http://launchpad.ubuntu.com/info_icon.gif>). Why?

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Oh, it's /@@/info_icon.gif etc. According to <<email address hidden>/launchpad--apidoc-access--0--patch-2>, this is "the Z3 preferred spelling (/@@/foo.png instead of /++resource++foo.png)". (I suppose /foo.png would be too simple.)

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

I've fixed most of these now; I can't do the rest because /@@/whatever doesn't work for some of the launchpad/images/ and I don't know why. (For example, /@@/linkTransparent.gif works but /@@/linkOpaque.gif doesn't.)

Matthew, if you like, we can go over the remaining issues together and fix this once and for all.
