"media" folder is not connecting to azure CDN, still points to app_data

[webmedia1012]

Hi all,

Just a clarification, when I updated the appsettings to point to cdn, everything worked as far as uploading new media and creating a folder from cms admin, it gets replicated on ourcontainer, but now since our cms content has a relative url like "\media\slideshow\banner1.jpg" it's not displaying but when I go to https://ourcdn.azureedge.net/images/slideshow/banner1.jpg it shows up.

Did I miss something in the config file? how do I hook these up, so the media folder will not look at the cms media folder but the cdn setup.

"OrchardCore": {
    "OrchardCore_Media_Azure": {
      // Set to your Azure Storage account connection string.
      "ConnectionString": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=appstorage;AccountKey=myaccountkey;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net",
      // Set to the Azure Blob container name. A container name must be a valid DNS name and conform to Azure container naming rules eg. lowercase only.
      "ContainerName": "cms",
      // Optionally, set to a path to store media in a subdirectory inside your container.
      "BasePath": "",
      "CreateContainer": true
    }

Thank you as always.

You maybe confusing the idea of blob storage with cdns?

I think maybe we've had this conversation already.

They're two different things

The configuration you maybe missing is listed here in the Media section
https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/dev/docs/reference/modules/Media/#configuration

CdnBaseUrl

To use a cdn with Orchard Core (unrelated to blob storage completely - though blob storage maybe a backing store)

• Configure your cdn endpoint address to point at the OrchardCore website.
• Don't configure the cdn to point at blob storage container directly.

Thank you Dean, it might be helpful to run you to the steps I did.

1. I setup the feature on CMS to enable Azure CDN (which is on the docs)
2. I copied the configuration on your docs here :https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/dev/docs/reference/modules/Media.Azure/
3. Modified the values

I am able to upload files from CMS media section (admin) all the way to my Storage using config on item #2

So I understand that I'm using storage and not CDN, coz on the config it didn't say CDN it just says container, my question is when the page loads the /media/whatever.jpg is not pointing to that storage.

So am I missing something, for now my work around is to inject the the CDN profile (mycdn.azureedge.net) as baseurl and attached to my "img src=baseurl/media/whatever;jpg" but I have to make the media text to capital M (Media) otherwise the storage will not recognize coz it's case sensitive.

Anyway, hope that makes sense.

Thank you as always, I know it worked before just using this setup, but now it's not for some reason. And yes I will try that solution you just sent me and keep you posted.

Warm regards,

Ok I finally figured out how this whole media to media azure works. Essentially I have to wait like what it says on the documentation for the cache to download the image back to cms. Thank you for all the help @deanmarcussen
