Needing help changing Image Handler for a CDN (Content Delivery Network)

[trinorthlighting]

Ok, we have been working a lot on speeding up our website and have moved to a Content Delivery Network. We currently have our js and css taken care of but are running into a brick wall in coding for the images. We are using image handler 4 for our images. Now, since we are using a cdn, our urls need to change from:

http://ledchristmaslighting.com/bmz_cache/etc....

to

http://cdn.ledchristmaslighting.com/bmz_cache/etc.

Now, we know that this code right here is what we need to change, but are not sure how to change it in php and we are asking for some help here.

public_html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php

Line #208 : ((strpos($this->src, substr($bmzConf['cachedir'], strlen($ihConf['dir']['docroot']))) === 0))) &&

Can anyone help us out here a bit on the coding? I know this part needs to be adjusted and modified to point to our .cdn subdomain:

((strpos($this->src, substr

Anyone have any suggestions?

This would have been better addressed in the support thread for Image Handler.

It appears that your site uses both cdnDOTledchristmaslighting.... and ledchristmaslighting...

You should probably redirect and decide which one to use. IH4 bases the location of the bmz_cache on the variable DIR_FS_CATALOG which is set in the config files.

Using a redirect from cdnDOT to the regular site should solve the problem.

Exactly.. this issue won't be resolved by hacking IH4 files as IH4 correctly picks up the image URL from the configuration file..

Just for my interest.....
IH create images on the fly when needed and stores them in the website bmz directory.
How do you intend creating images on the fly and then uploading them to your cdn?

I suspect altering the code to refer to the cdn for image display is probably doable.
But the uploading on the fly bit is going to be a headache

Ahh I get it.. they want to serve the IH4 cache from the CDN versus the bmz_cache folder?? That is going to require a BIG change to IH4's core functionality, and I imagine that the code to do this will NOT be forthcoming from the forum.. Sounds like custom dev to me..
