CakePHP HTML Helper adding prefix URL

Question

I'm trying to append CDN url to all image resources across the site.

current code looks like this $this->Html->image('img.png'). I found that there's an option to append baseURL ['fullBase' => true], but I couldn't find an option to append custom URL that would route to desired CDN. Is there a way to create a custom setting that would point to CDN url such as ['CDN_URL_1' => true] or any other clean way to achieve this?

The other approach I can think about is appending path like so $this->Html->image($customURL.'img.png'), but this might not be the correct approach.

Thanks!

You can define the base URL for those items in your config file (./Config/bootstrap.php).

See Configuration.

App.imageBaseUrl

Web path to the public images directory under webroot. If you are using a CDN you should set this value to the CDN’s location.

App.cssBaseUrl

Web path to the public css directory under webroot. If you are using a CDN you should set this value to the CDN’s location.

App.jsBaseUrl

Web path to the public js directory under webroot. If you are using a CDN you should set this value to the CDN’s location.

...
Configure::write('App.imageBaseUrl', 'http://yourcdn.com/img/');
Configure::write('App.jsBaseUrl', 'http://yourcdn.com/js/');
Configure::write('App.cssBaseUrl', 'http://yourcdn.com/css/');
...

Then just use $this->Html->image('img.png') normally.
