Zhana Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 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.

Split Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 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.

7SiN Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 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.

Guest Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Nuno. Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Danny Michel Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGBrose Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat206 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/3851-maxcdn-integration-accelerator-for-ipb-31-32/ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
