Many questions

  • Hello!

    First I have to say great plugin, you are the only one that has this kind of plugin for Rackspace (and that supports deletion of local files). *thumbs up*

    To explain the situation, the site I am using this plugin on is a very large news-site. In one month over 4000 files has been generated (6 GB of media).

    1. I manually uploaded all files to the CDN and some images doesn’t seem to be “cached” and found as available on the CDN (local URL under “media”) but all files is on the CDN (triple-checked). Can I somehow manually force-sync that specific image/video?

    2. In one file I found an array of mime-types, what is it for? Because MP4-video format was not available in that array and I need to know of I have to add it?

    3. Exactly how does the upload work? For instance, say that I upload 10 images and a video to a post, are they instantly uploaded to the CDN, synced and removed locally?

    4. How does the cache work? It downloads a file-list of all files available on the CDN? I am a little worried that the cache-file sometime might be too big and slow down performance or not even work. As I said the site I work with gets roughly about 4000 files per month.. Will it still work in a year, what about two or three?

    Thank you and keep up the good work!

    I see that problem #1 and #2 is related. The sync is not working because some images had extension “.jpeg” and not “.jpg”, the same goes for video “.mp4”.

    Maybe add a field to the backend where one can add custom mime-types?

    Edit:
    Hmm.. “.jpeg” already exists in the array but does not work. I am certain something is not quite right because ALL files that are not synced are “.jpeg” and “.mp4”..

    Edit 2:
    set_cdn_path($attachment), when doing a var_dump on $attachment it display on all rows under media except for mp4-files.

    Edit 3:
    The reason “.jpeg” is not working is because of this;
    preg_match_all('/'.$base_uploads_url.'\/.*?\.[a-z]{3}+/i', $attachment, $attachments);

    When changing the 3 to 4 it works on .jpeg but not .jpg (or any other format with a 3-letter extension).

    When changing [a-z] to [a-zA-Z0-9] it works with .mp4!

    Edit 4:
    preg_match_all('/'.$base_uploads_url.'\/.*?\.[a-z]{3}+/i', $attachment, $attachments);

    should be

    preg_match_all('/'.$base_uploads_url.'\/.*?\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{3,4}+/i', $attachment, $attachments);

    Now .jpeg and .mp4 works ?? I guess that .mp3 shouldn’t have worked before either because of the 3 in the extension? Also, some customers upload files with uppercase extensions unfortunately so it’s good to have that covered too.

    Hopefully you can answer my other questions in the first post!

    Another question;

    5. The following code

    // Delete file when successfully uploaded, if set
if (isset($_SESSION['cdn']->api_settings->remove_local_files) && $_SESSION['cdn']->api_settings->remove_local_files == true) {

	if (stripos($content_type, 'image') === false) {
	    @unlink($cur_file);
	}
}

    Exactly what does it do? Because from what I can gather from it it checks that the file isn’t an image so it can be removed (why not remove local images when they have been uploaded?)
