MaxCDN Content Delivery Solution?

I'm interested in giving maxcdn a shot, however I'm concerned with how it will handle the https in my shopping cart.

Anyone have a solution that will allow me to use maxcdn for the non-https, and serve from the main server for https?

Thanks In Advance!

Re: MaxCDN Content Delivery Solution?

I've experimented with different configurations but this principle has proved the most effective:

Open smarty.php

FIND:

Code:

$smarty->assign("SkinDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1");

$smarty->assign("ImagesDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1/images");

REPLACE WITH:

Code:

// WCM - MaxCDN Implementation

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')

{

     $smarty->assign("SkinDir","http://CdnUrl.example.com/skin1");

     $smarty->assign("ImagesDir","http://CdnUrl.example.com/skin1/images");

}

else

{

     $smarty->assign("SkinDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1");

     $smarty->assign("ImagesDir",$xcart_web_dir."/skin1/images");

}

// WCM - MaxCDN Implementation

Thanks Jon. Does that cover CSS or JavaScript?

We've put this up as a tutorial at MaxCDN for X-Cart.

Re: MaxCDN Content Delivery Solution?

I must be reading this incorrectly, which wouldn't surprise me, but to me, it looks like that code says if https is on, then use max cdn, . . . . shouldn't it be the other way around? Or am I reading that wrong?

Thanks
Lyn

Edit: I must be reading it wrong, because i tried it as you posted, and obviously it works.

Thanks
Lyn

Re: MaxCDN Content Delivery Solution?

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')

!= means does not equal.

So if if https is not on it will use CDN, if https is on it will use default x-cart location.

Re: MaxCDN Content Delivery Solution?

Hi Guys,

What sort of results are you seeing from using a CDN?

Is it worth the additional costs?

How difficult was the deployment?

Thanks,

Matt

Re: MaxCDN Content Delivery Solution?

Deployment took a few hours. It did definitely help our speeds especially in foreign countries.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 09:53 PM.
