Serving Up Skin Images From Magento

| Comments

While integrating a shipping solution with Magento for multiple websites, we needed a way to get a logo for the invoice for each store in a generic way. The problem is that ShipWorks only knows the store URL and has no knowledge of Magento’s skin directory. So I came up with a simple PHP script that sits in the root of the Magento install and handles all the skin sanity (that’s right) inside of Magento for me. Enjoy:

<?php
  require_once 'app/Mage.php';
  $mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : '';
  Mage::app($mageRunCode);
  $file = Mage::getDesign()->getSkinUrl('images/logo-offline.gif');

  //Header
  header('Content-Type: image/gif');
  header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
  header('Expires: 0');
  header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
  header('Pragma: public');
  header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
  ob_clean();
  flush();

  //Contents
  readfile($file);
  exit;
?>
