[Solved] WebAssetDefaultSettings.ScriptFilesPath and Custom CDN

[Jason]

I would like to use our custom CDN and specify something like the following

WebAssetDefaultSettings.ScriptFilesPath = "http://somedomain.com/scripts/"

on the server we would have 

/scripts/2010.2.825/{all telerik js files}

is there any way to accomplish this?  It gives an error when I try to set an 
absolute path, saying it can only take a virtual.

Thanks,
JB

Hello Jason Brozek,

Check this online help article (Content Delivery Network support section) devoted on the same matter.

Yes I have read that section, I can see that you can hard code a specific script.  I'm wanting to do this for the telerik js files,
which it seems the ScriptRegistrar builds the list of needed js files based on the controls used in the page, I want

to put them on our custom cdn, and have it still dynamically pull only the scripts that are needed.
Just like how you would say 

WebAssetDefaultSettings.UseTelerikContentDeliveryNetwork = true;

I want to define my own cdn, instead of using the telerik cdn.

Thanks,
JB

Hi Jason Brozek,

Thank you for the clarification.

Currently this feature is not supported. Nevertheless I will forward this request to our developers for further investigation and consideration.

Hello Jason,

The functionality is already implemented, using the ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl property. Just set the property of the DefaultGroup to your CDN and the automatic loading should start working as you expect it.

<%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
        .DefaultGroup(defaultGroup => defaultGroup
            .ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl("http://mylovelycdn.com/telerik-scripts/")
        )
    %>

For this to work, UseTelerikContentDeliveryNetwork should be set the to true, too.

Alex,

This does not work, it simply writes out a script tag pointing to the base ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl. it does not iterate the files in the group. Looking at the source code in (from Line 75 in WebAssetitemMerger) if a ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl is set it simply adds the url into the merged list without iterating the group. the else part of this statement does.

[Alex Gyoshev]

Hello again,

I was wrong. ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl sets a URL from which the group is loaded. You can, however, set the default CDN URL by editing the WebAssetDefaultSettings class.

I am sorry for misguiding you - and I hope this helps.

Can we have this possibility added to the next release
Me too, I am interested to put my static content in a different CDN
Ideally, can we have something like 

WebAssetDefaultSettings.ScriptContentDeliveryNetworkUrl =...
WebAssetDefaultSettings.StyleContentDeliveryNetworkUrl  =...

WebAssetDefaultSettings.ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl = @"http://www.sharemeal.com/Assets/Scripts";

            WebAssetDefaultSettings.StyleSheetFilesPath = @"~/Assets/Sheets";

WebAssetDefaultSettings.ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl = @"http://www.sharemeal.com/Assets/Scripts";

            WebAssetDefaultSettings.StyleSheetFilesPath = @"~/Assets/Sheets";

WebAssetDefaultSettings.ContentDeliveryNetworkUrl = @"http://www.sharemeal.com/Assets/Scripts";

            WebAssetDefaultSettings.StyleSheetFilesPath = @"~/Assets/Sheets";

WebAssetDefaultSettings.ScriptContentDeliveryNetworkUrl

            WebAssetDefaultSettings.StyleContentDeliveryNetworkUrl
