MAX cdn
 
Hi,

I have just configured a site with MAXcdn.com. They provide a guide but it is not designed for xcart 4.4.x.

The guide can be found at http://www.maxcdn.com/features/integrations/x-cart/

Would be worth xcart contacting MAXcdn to give them a more accurate guide.

I will provide my integration for xcart 4.4.x when I get a chance.

Also when I get results of how good this tool is for site performance

Code:
Open smarty.php:

**************************************************************************************
$smarty->assign('ImagesDir',        $xcart_web_dir . $smarty_skin_dir . '/images');
$smarty->assign('SkinDir',          $xcart_web_dir . $smarty_skin_dir);
**************************************************************************************
Replace with this:

**************************************************************************************
/ WCM - MaxCDN Implementation
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
{
$smarty->assign('ImagesDir',        "http://CdnUrl.example.com" . $smarty_skin_dir . '/images');
$smarty->assign('SkinDir',          "http://CdnUrl.example.com" . $smarty_skin_dir);
}
else
{
$smarty->assign('ImagesDir',        $xcart_web_dir . $smarty_skin_dir . '/images');
$smarty->assign('SkinDir',          $xcart_web_dir . $smarty_skin_dir);
}
**************************************************************************************

This only calls the common_files images though. Looking for better integration.

There were a few files I had to change including smarty plugin functions. The above only covers a few images. The main images such as thumbnails expanded, and category and manufacturer images are not covered here

I don't have Max CDN but to include the $AltSkinDir and $AltImagesDir it seems that you would need to find:
PHP Code:
if (@file_exists($alt_skin_dir . XC_DS . 'css' . XC_DS . 'altskin.css')) {
        $smarty->assign('AltImagesDir', $alt_skin_info['web_path'] . '/images');
        $smarty->assign('AltSkinDir',   $alt_skin_info['web_path']);
    } 
and replace with:
PHP Code:
// WCM - MaxCDN Implementation
if (@file_exists($alt_skin_dir . XC_DS . 'css' . XC_DS . 'altskin.css')) {
  if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
  {
    $smarty->assign('AltImagesDir', "http://CdnUrl.example.com" . $alt_skin_info['web_path'] . '/images');
    $smarty->assign('AltSkinDir',   "http://CdnUrl.example.com" . $alt_skin_info['web_path']);
    
  }
  else
  {
    $smarty->assign('AltImagesDir', $alt_skin_info['web_path'] . '/images');
    $smarty->assign('AltSkinDir',   $alt_skin_info['web_path']);
  }
} 
Again, just shooting in the dark. Look correct?

I tried similar to this and the urls looked correct but the images were missing as not populated on maxcdn.

Can you give us a clue on the files you changed?

Re: MAX cdn
 
I worked out out how to use the default images folder plus the alt images folder on maxcdn.

In smarty.php

PHP Code:
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
{
$smarty->assign('ImagesDir',    "http://collectables.collectablesreta.netdna-cdn.com" . $smarty_skin_dir . '/images');
$smarty->assign('SkinDir',        "http://collectables.collectablesreta.netdna-cdn.com" . $smarty_skin_dir);
$smarty->assign("AltImagesDir",    "http://collectables.collectablesreta.netdna-cdn.com/skin/ideal_comfort/images");
$smarty->assign("AltSkinDir",    "http://collectables.collectablesreta.netdna-cdn.com/skin/ideal_comfort");
}
else
{
$smarty->assign('ImagesDir',        $xcart_web_dir . $smarty_skin_dir . '/images');
$smarty->assign('SkinDir',          $xcart_web_dir . $smarty_skin_dir);
}

Just have to work out how to do product images as this didn't work.

PHP Code:
// WCM - CDN Images
        if (($type == 'T' OR $type == 'P') AND $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
        {
        $image_path = str_replace('/path/to/images//','http://collectables.collectablesreta.netdna-cdn.com/',$image_path);
        return str_replace('$http_location','',$image_path);
        }
        // / WCM - CDN Images

This changes the url correctly but the images are missing and not being pulled by maxcdn.

Mercuryminds does the full install and setup for $30 I think, works a charm on my site. They do a full documentation for $50 in total, might be worth asking them. :D

Re: MAX cdn
 
yeah i may go that route, but i am cheap and will probably spend more time to end up paying the $30
Thanks for the info

Do Mercuryminds also manage to pull the cached css and js?

Thanks.

Re: MAX cdn
 
Hi

Sorry I have not been following the thread but here are the files I edit to implement maxcdn.

Along with smarty.php do the following

To get xcart to use css and js files from maxcdn edit
include/templater/plugins/function.load_defer_code.php

find
Code:
$result = ('js' == $type)
            ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $cacheWebFile . '"></script>'
            : '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $cacheWebFile . '" />';

replace with
Code:
$result = ('js' == $type)
            ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . str_replace("www.yoursiteurl.co.uk","yourcdnurl.com",$cacheWebFile) . '"></script>'
            : '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . str_replace("www.yoursiteurl.co.uk","yourcdnurl.com",$cacheWebFile) . '" />';

This will cover a lot of your background images and all javascript calls.

Then to make all your category images use cdn

edit include/templater/plugins/function.get_category_image_url.php
find

Code:
return func_convert_amp(func_get_image_url($category['categoryid'], 'C', $category['image_path']));

replace with

Code:
return str_replace("www.yoursiteurl.co.uk","yourcdnurl.com",func_convert_amp(func_get_image_url($category['categoryid'], 'C', $category['image_path'])));

Re: MAX cdn
 
Then in the template files for the product thumbnail and expanded view

you can use the smaty replace function in the following way
Code:
{$tmbn_url|amp|replace:'www.yoursiteurl.co.uk':'yourcdnurl.com'}

The file is /skin/common_files/product_thumbnail.tpl. That's where I found the line to edit and it works perfectly!

Find this near line 9:
Code:
{$tmbn_url|amp}

And replace with this:
Code:
{$tmbn_url|amp|replace:'www.your-main-url.com':'your-cdn-url.com'}

Like that it works great but when you go https:// the images are gone which i understand but i tried this
and the images come up with a path like this any ideas?
https://www.waterlesscarwashproducts.com/if%20($_SERVER%5B%27HTTPS%27%5D%20!=%20%27on%27)%7 Delse%7D

here is how i tried to work around the ssl
like i did in the rest of the code changes i made
Code:
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')
{
{$tmbn_url|amp|replace:'www.waterlesscarwashproducts.com':'driwash.waterlesscarwashproducts.com'}
}
else
{
{$tmbn_url|amp}
}

I hadn't even noticed that! The only place you'd see it on my site is in the cart during checkout, and now I see thumbnails do not load due to HTTPS. Maybe someone else can chime in on this?

Re: MAX cdn
 
Is everyone happy with MaxCDN and the integration as discussed in this thread?

Is using the smarty replace technique the best/fastest/most efficient way to get the data to the CDN?

My site is well under 1TB/year in bandwidth -- so I was thinking the basic plan is sufficient.

Is one "zone" sufficient for a North American site? The maxcdn FAQ doesn't really discuss "zones". My server is in California (Hands-on VPS) and my business is 97% US and 3% Canada -- we haven't advertised or localized for other countries yet. We are not pushing video (we use embedded youtube for all video)

Anyone using more than one zone? Why?

Gonna try this now -- any other guidance from those using MaxCDN? Thanks.
Jeremy

This will cover a lot of your background images and all javascript calls.

Slight problem here that hopefully someone can help solve...

This code works -- until you go https at checkout, and then it's a mess (css disappears).

I tried the following, but this cased a server error:

PHP Code:
/* MaxCDN edit - comment out next two lines
            ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $cacheWebFile . '"></script>'
            : '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $cacheWebFile . '" />';
*/
// Then insert the following:
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on') {
            ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . str_replace("www.domain.com","cdn.domain.com",$cacheWebFile) . '"></script>'
            : '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . str_replace("www.domain.com","cdn.domain.com",$cacheWebFile) . '" />';
}
else
{
            ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $cacheWebFile . '"></script>'
            : '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $cacheWebFile . '" />';
} 

Hmm... must be my php syntax, right? Isn't this how to do an if? What am I missing? Thanks!

Thanks to all for contributions.

carpeperdiem 01-13-2013 07:20 AM
Re: MAX cdn
 
Am I doing this backwards?

Is there a net difference in speed by setting the path to the cdn images in php files vs. templates?

For example, I used this code for the Banner System Images:

Code:
FILE:
/skin/common_files/modules/Banner_System/banner_rotator.tpl

FIND:
src="{$content.image_path|amp}"

REPLACE WITH:
src="{$content.image_path|amp|replace:'www.domain.com':'cdn.domain.com'}"

I used this code for the Thumbs (trapping for https):

Code:
FILE:
/skin/common_files/product_thumbnail.tpl

FIND:
{$tmbn_url|amp}

REPLACE WITH:

{* MaxCDN edit - comment out next line *}
{* {$tmbn_url|amp} *}
{if $smarty.server.HTTPS ne "on"}
{$tmbn_url|amp|replace:'www.domain.com':'cdn.domain.com'}
{else}
{$tmbn_url|amp}
{/if}
{* END MaxCDN edit *}

I will now do similar "replace" code for variant and detailed images, right?

What else am I missing (besides the js and css) ?

Does it hurt site speed and performance to set the CDN path in templates vs. php files?

This could be a very useful feature that X-Cart SHOULD have as default -- supporting a CDN with a simple 1 field form entry (cdn.domain.com) and a switch to turn it on. As opposed to editing 6 or more files.

But as long as we know the list of files to edit, no worries...
Gonna keep editing...
