FOFTemplateUtils::parsePath

Parse a fancy path definition into a path relative to the site's root, respecting template overrides, suitable for inclusion of media files.

For example, media://com_foobar/css/test.css is parsed into media/com_foobar/css/test.css if no override is found, or templates/mytemplate/media/com_foobar/css/test.css if the current template is called mytemplate and there's a media override for it. The valid protocols are: media:// The media directory or a media override admin:// Path relative to administrator directory (no overrides) site:// Path relative to site's root (no overrides)
