Showtime Slideshow SSL error

Post by dmagill »

Afternoon,

Just encrypted a site with a Godaddy cert, and I am working down the layers of unsecure sections. I am down to my last few of banners run by Showtime Slideshow.

I have been reading the CMSMS documentation for the last few hours and from what I can tell I have enabled HTTPS on all pages as a global default.

But I can not get the banners run by Showtime Slideshow to load into HTTPS. I have been tweaking the different settings but it always loads to the HTTP.

If anyone has some advice for setting CMSMS up with a SSL cert, don't hesitate to let me know. (https://www.algsafety.ca)

CMSMS 1.11.10
Showtime 3.4

Thanks
D

Morning.

Been digging around and found this:
"//set rootpath if ssl
$rooturl = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on')?$this->config['ssl_url']:$this->config['root_url']"

So it is my understanding that the Slideshow module should be automatically correcting for https. Reviewing my setup for CMSMS to see if I missed anything.

Further follow up.

I disabled the Slideshow in the header and the problem went away.

The SSL cert is fully functional and properly verified.

Anyone have an idea on this?

Thanks.

These issues usually come up because browsers don't like (for security reasons) pages with mixed sources, i.e. http and https protocols in resources simultaneously on the same page. I bet there were images being served through http...
You may have to go through the templates used by Showtime and avoid any absolute links, replace them by relative ones or replace them by links started with {root_url}.
