Why are some graphics in Shopware not delivered by the CDN?

The creoline® CDN delivers images by manipulating the Shopware Media Manager. Both Shopware 5 and Shopware 6 work with dynamic generation of image URLs so that the actual image URL is generated when the page is called up.

Example Shopware 5

Images from the Media Manager are loaded in Shopware 5 e.g. via the Smarty Media plugin:

<img src="{media path=$sArticle.media[0].media.path}"
     class="blog--image panel has--border is--rounded"
     alt="{$alt}"
     title="{$alt|truncate:160}"/>

The Shopware 5 plugin CDN for Shopware 5 adapts the URL generated from this to the CDN domain so that the image is loaded via the CDN instead of via the standard store domain.

Result without the CDN plugin:

The generated HTML document contains the following code:

<img src="https://shopware-5.creoline-demo.com/media/image/29/d4/02/hq_1280x1280.jpg"
     class="blog--image panel has--border is--rounded"
     alt="Alternative text"
     title="Alternative text"/>

Result with the CDN plugin:

The generated HTML document contains the following code:

<img src="https://shopware-5.cstatic.io/media/image/29/d4/02/hq_1280x1280.jpg"
     class="blog--image panel has--border is--rounded"
     alt="Alternative text"
     title="Alternative text"/>

In the second result, the original domain shopware-5.creoline-demo.com is replaced by the CDN domain shopware-5.cstatic.io. The request URI /media/image/29/d4/02/hq_1280x1280.jpg remains unaffected by this.

Troubleshooting

Solution 1: Use media manager plugin

In order for the Shopware plugin to recognize the images, the image must be loaded via the Media Manager. Otherwise, the CDN plugin cannot manipulate the image URL.

Solution 2: Use a static CDN domain

If the desired image cannot be made accessible via the Media Manager, there is also the option of integrating the CDN domain independently.
