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:

{$tmbn_url|amp}

And replace with this:

{$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

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?

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.

replace with

            : '<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.

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!

I used Bootstrapper50. Thanks!
This is a no-brainer.

Unfortunately, 4.5.4 is different enough that you can't copy/paste this.

I am working on assembling all edits for 4.5.4 and I'll re-post in one place. many good suggestions in this thread. Most work, some don't.

Thanks to all for contributions.

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:

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):

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...
