    HTTPS Issue with IE8

    Posted 15 years 10 months ago
    • I'm having an issue (specifically with hivemind v1.5, but I'm guessing it effects all templates in IE8) where IE8 complains that links in my page are sourced from HTTP and not HTTPS. This is something new, it did not happen with IE7 (Thanks, M$); however, it doesn't occur with stock Joomla templates like Beez or Rhuk_milkyway.

      So, this leads me to believe that one (or more) of the files used in RT themes has direct http links and not relative.

      The only http links I've managed to find with notepad++ was in comments of the files or I found a few in XML; this leads me to believe they might be in p,a,c,k,e,d files.

      So, two questions:

      Can someone point me to some of the template files that may have static links?

      and

      If these links are in packed files, will RT provide the updates or do I/We have to unpack them and modify them on our own?


      I realize this may be a "needle in a haystack" type of request, but pointing me in the right direction of where to look for this could be an acceptable solution.

      Thanks.

    • We'll need to get a URL to have a look what is being served up non-ssl. cheers.

    • The really strange thing is that I can't find anything in the source (even under IE8) or in the list of files loaded that shows anything that is not loaded under SSL. Unfortunately the IE8 Dev tools don't seem to have an option like firefox or safari to let you see all the resources that loaded for a particular page. That would tell us straight away what the problem was. I think all you an do now is to disable modules one at a time until you discover the culprit. When we know that, we can dig deeper.

    • I think it's a problem of IE8 because I can't seem to find anything being loaded as HTTP. Everything is HTTPS. Odd thing is that even with IE8 in Compat Mode you don't get the warning, just in pure IE8. I tried with Safari, Opera, Firefox, IE7... Just IE8 shows the issue.

    • It's this line that loads rokzoom.js in rt_head_includes.php
       
<?php if($enable_rokzoom=="true") :?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/rokzoom/rokzoom.js"></script>
<?php endif; ?>
 

      If I comment that out the error goes away.

      I only gave it a good once over, but I couldn't find anything in rokzoom.js that would be causing this issue.

      Content and System plugins of Rokbox are disabled. I'd eventually like to use that functionality - or rokzoom functionality, (as I'm sure you noticed, the site is still being developed), but I don't want my IE8 customers getting an error when they go to my website - looking to buy web services. Not a very good first impression.

      Anyway, I'll keep looking it over.

    • So it works if you use RokBox when RokZoom is disabled?
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • I checked in all the JS files and no one of them is using http protocol, or if they do, they do with relative paths or with paths you can change. Like it happens for RokHeadRotator where I see you changed all the images links to use https.
      Also, what is weird is that the error comes only in IE8, while RokZoom is loaded in all browsers.

      I'm having the doubt that could be an IE8 parser bug. If you notice the RokZoom JS header has 2 http links, can you try adding back RokZoom in rt_head_includes and then changing the two http references within rokzoom.js so that they point to https instead?

    • @prim - negative. Rokbox is disabled in joomla backend and the link to rokzoom I commented out.

      @djamil - where do I find the http parts in rokzoom? Maybe a line #?

      Oh, do you mean in the comments?

    • Yes, in the comments, the "header" bit commented in rokzoom.js. Might sound stupid, but those two are the only "http" I see related to rokzoom.js. And if that is the case, then we'd know IE8 has a parser bug.
