What does it do

This extension will link static media in your page to your Content Delivery Network or just any other static server for media delivery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network

So you can use your full featured CDN or just use some lightweight fast http server like Lighttpd to deliver content to your customers faster and offload traffic from your CMS servers.

nr_cdn will rewrite URLs to static files in served pages e. g.:

  • /fileadmin/upload/image.jpg => //cdn.example.org/fileadmin/upload/image.jpg
  • /typo3conf/ext/my_ext/res/style.css => //cdn.example.org/typo3conf/ext/my_ext/res/style.css

if you want you can exclude paths from rewriting with the help of the ignore_paths option.

TypoScript Configuration

Constants

CDNURL = //cdn.domain.tld
CDN_ignoreslash = 1

Setup

# CDN URL prefix/host
URL = {$CDNURL}

# whether to ignore leading slashes in given replacement paths
ignoreslash = {$CDN_ignoreslash}

ignore_paths {
    1 {
        # paths to be excluded from replacing/prefixed with CDN host
        path = fileadmin/no_cdn
    }
    2 {
        # paths to be excluded from replacing/prefix with CDN host
        path = fileadmin/no_cdn
        ext {
            # file extension to be excluded from replacement with CDN host
            10 = .js
            # file extension to be excluded from replacement with CDN host
            20 = .png
        }
    }

}

paths {
    1 {
        # paths to be replaced/prefixed with CDN host
        path = fileadmin
    }
    2 {
        # paths to be replaced/prefixed with CDN host
        path = typo3temp
    }
    3 {
        # paths to be replaced/prefixed with CDN host
        path = typo3conf
        ext {
            # file extension to be replaced with CDN host
            10 = .js
            # file extension to be replaced with CDN host
            20 = .png
            # file extension to be replaced with CDN host
            30 = .gif
            # file extension to be replaced with CDN host
            40 = .jpg
        }
    }
}

Note

Don't forget to clear the cache afterwards.

What won't go to your CDN:

  • thumbnails, cause this will be generated through TYPO3s thump.php
  • class files, so you shouldn't have problems with java/website interactions caused by XSS

PHP Configuration

    // paths to ignore for replacement/prefix with CDN host
    'ignore_paths' => array(

        // ignore only static files
        'fileadmin/not_all_cdn' => array('.js', '.png', '.gif', '.jpg'),
    ),
