Hi,

I would really like to see support for CDN in version 3.2. Now it can be done in a number of ways, new themes supporting javascripts, images, CSS and static content to be uploaded on CDN.


Thank you.

javascript files are not really static as they do work a bit with cookies.
btw this kind of feature isnt must be cdn support,it can also be static data from cookie less domain witch everyone can use without extra costs.

There's a MaxCDN mod for IPB. But I think with the knowledge of IPS on what can be stored on a CDN, then that would be a wonderful idea for them to include something built in giving the forum owner the most power and speed with their sites.

It only takes a few small changes to set IP.Board up to use a CDN. Specifically, there are the URL settings in General Configuration, and then a few template changes. I'll see what we can do about getting rid of those template changes.

You'll notice, if you look at the source code here, that we've had a CDN running on the IPS community forums this week.

Hello Dan,

Just notice that you run the CDN with PHP (http://cdn.invisionpower.com/public/min/index.php) which is not usual.
Will the minified script run in the cdn for 3.2?


Thanks

We don't actually run the CDN, we're using Level3's CDN with a custom alias. Additionally, the PHP does not execute on Level3's CDN servers, it executes on ours, and then the CDN caches the output. As it's the same for everyone, it's safe to do that. :)

That's great! If anything, maybe an official guide on how to get everything set up properly so there is no problem with running it on a CDN. I think there is one but I don't believe it said anything about php or even js.

This could be beneficial to some forum owners :)

Akamai is over rated... I've admin'd some of their colo'd boxes before.. they are not as fancy as you'd think

Hey, has anyone posted something on how to enable CDN using MaxCDN. There a paid mod, believe it or not. From what I see here, you guys are saying it's a few edits, so was wondering if you could share the few edits.

I hate to make this thread into a zombie thread, but I would really like to see native CDN support for 2-3 CDN's especially rackspace, that would be amazing!

3.2 includes CDN support. The only thing that may be a problem is dealing with caching of the profile pictures if the user changes them. If you look at a typical profile picture it would look like this:


You have to interact with individual CDN APIs to do purging of those images from the CDN cache. For MaxCDN, you could also wait 24 hours.. The hook in the link above just interacts with the MaxCDN API to do the purging when necessary.
