Image Resizer - can it work between domain and subdomain

I have a domain that hosts my custom built cms using DataAssist and other WA extensions. Via the cms insert/update/delete forms, I upload images to a folder called "images" on the main domain (www.domainname.com/images)

Then I have two sites that need to use the images as below:
www.domainname.com
subdomain.domainname.com

Problem is, i need to use Image Resizer on both the front-end pages of the domain and subdomain sites. I cannot seem to get it to work on the subdomain's front-end pages. Works fine on the main domain's pages, just not on the pages of the subdomain.

Is there a way to get this to work? Do I need dedicated hosting or some sort of special setup to get Image Resizer to work across to a subdomain?

Thanks for any help.

this is a limitation to the way sub domains work.

a sub domain maps a domain name to a sub folder of your site.

That subfolder of the site becomes the root folder for that sub domain

your subdomain does not have visibility to folders that are bellow the subfolder that it represents.

Your subdomain:
subdomain.domainname.com


is not able to access any of the files at the main domain:
www.domainname.com

Jason,

I assumed that was the case. Is there a way to fake the subdomain to get around this so the image resizer can work on both.. for instance....

make: domain name.com/folder appear in the browser as: folder.domainname.com

That way not actually using a subdomain, but appearing so?

No, there is not a way to do that.

I talked with my hosting company, and they said I could run a php script between two domains if they were both on the same dedicated server (linux).

Do you see any issue with this particular script running between two domains on the same dedicated server (linux)... knowing the script requires a relative path. Can you relative path from one site's root via ../ to another site's root. Have you guys ever tried this with this script.

I have limited knowledge of dedicated servers so any advice you may have regarding this would be helpful before I move these sites.

even with a dedicated server, the sub domain will not be able to access the main domains files using a relative path.

This will not work using image resizer.
