cdn_files
I'm referring to this setting
and I'm asking how to use it. Suppose I'd want to use another domain to serve images (es. http://www.images.com). I've to put the complete path in this setting and to mirror che content directory on the remote server?
For example I've to put there http://www.images.com/gallery/ and here a complete copy of the content directory?
Thanks!

Re: cdn_files
Hmm, I am not sure it works as you may be thinking ... The images still need to be on the same server/location as X3, because X3 needs to read the images and resize them. You can't really just add your images to a remote server, unless you mirror everything identically as the origin server including resized images (which is unlikely).
There are TWO ways to use this setting basically:
1) Use with a premium CDN like we are doing at demo.photo.gallery, where we have our CDN provider pull images from our server on request, and cache in global locations.
2) You can use this setting with a subdomain (for example images.yourdomain.com), which basically points to the same location on your server as X3. This has very little benefit in X3.

Re: cdn_files
Understood. I thought that X3 could take images from another server. I'll investigate a CDN but since all my users are from italy I don't think I'll benefit too much from a CDN, apart from unloading my server maybe...
Re: cdn_files
Unfortunately no, because Imagevue needs to be able to read the images from local folders to be able to list them, resize them and get the data, and the same goes for pages in general.andreamarucci wrote:Understood. I thought that X3 could take images from another server.
Correct. I added some more info here:andreamarucci wrote:I'll investigate a CDN but since all my users are from italy I don't think I'll benefit too much from a CDN, apart from unloading my server maybe...
