Silverstripe External Assets

Allows you to access static files as well as javascript and CSS from external (sub)-domains.

How-To

1. Use ExternalImage instead of Image in your DataObjects and Relations.

2. Set up your external domain in your hosting setup and point to the assets folder or silverstripes root directory.

3. Set up your config.yml with the following options:

config.yml

• domain_name: The domain over which the files should be available.
• external_name: The subdomain under which the files are accessible.
  The final URL is assembled with the SilverStripe domain.
• external_points_to_assets: Indicates if the domain points to the assets folder, and it can be removed from the URL.

Assets via sub-domain

With the following Configuration your assets will be loaded from a sub-domain: protocol://static.yourdomain.com/imageName.jpg

---
Name: SubdomainAssets
---
ExternalAssetsConfig:
  external_name: 'static'
  external_points_to_assets: true

Assets via external domain

To load the assets from a different domain, the following configuration can be used and the file will be accessible at the following URL: protocol://bar.foo.domain/assets/imageName.jpg

---
Name: ExternalAssets
---
ExternalAssetsConfig:
  domain_name: 'bar.foo.domain'
  external_points_to_assets: false

Todo

• add support for regular files
• add support for javascript and css files

Have fun!
