Enabling SSL in Vanilla 2?

  • @basb -Does your forum work as expected for an entire session by accessing
    https://www.ssl-id.de/forum.xxxxx.de/? Can you browse the forum and does the url stay at https://www.ssl-id.de/forum.xxxxx.de or does it redirect to your sub url? I could add a https suffix url variable to the code base that would be appended around line 170 of the default.php file if the protocol is https. Not 100% sure how it would work in your case. Let me know.

    @derekdon - If I go to https://www.ssl-id.de/forum.xxxxx.de/ (SSL-Plugin disabled) the CSS is broken and all the links go to https://www.ssl-id.de/index.php/...
    Thanks!
  • @basb - As a quick and dirty test...

    change line 168 of the plugin's default.php to read...
    if(substr($URL, 0, 8) == $this->_HTTPS_PROTOCOL) $URL = www.ssl-id.de/ . substr($URL, 8);

    and enable the plugin.

    Let me know if that works for you.
  • If so I may add an SSL suffix variable to the code for you and other users to set...
  • @derekdon - If I change the code like this, I get the following error when I try to enable the plugin:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /mnt/web2/33/57/51669757/htdocs/mannoderquadrat/forum/plugins/SSLControllers/default.php on line 168

  • @basb - Sorry! Try this...

    if(substr($URL, 0, 8) == $this->_HTTPS_PROTOCOL) $URL = 'www.ssl-id.de/' . substr($URL, 8);
  • @derekdon - same problem, doesn't work...
  • @basb - When you say it doesn't work, are you getting the same parse error??? Can you post the body of that function here so I can check it... I assume you have cleared your cache etc.
  • edited March 2010
    @derekdon - the parse error is gone, but the link/domain problem is still existent...

    Thanks for you help!
  • @basb - Any chance you could provide a link to see for myself what's happening?
    I will try to have a look at this in the next couple of days, but I imagine it's probably to do with the WebRoot and Domain methods of the /library/core/class.url.php file... Might not be possible with your setup.
  • any news here?

    any news on how to use ssl in vanilla when you're using a https-proxy?

    I did make some fixes that I think @TiGR said works with SSL. Maybe he can weigh in?

    Yes, I am running a copy of Vanilla on https without any problems now.

    Impressive.
  • @Todd I'm using a ssl-proxy and the sslcontrollers-plugin didn't work.
    But the latest release of vanilla seems to work with it!
  • The sign in popup was doing my head in. I created a custom plugin and added this code to my header in order to remove the popup class. Works like a charm now!

    class CustomJSPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
    public function Base_Render_Before(&$Sender)
    {
    $JavaScript = '

    $(document).ready(function() { $("#Frame ul li a").removeClass("SignInPopup"); });

    ';
    // Send it to the Header of the page
    $Sender->Head->AddString($JavaScript);
    }
    }

    On another note, I was running into trouble with the sslcontrollerhelper.js file. Basically, when I loaded up the dashboard I was getting errors about my https pages being only partially secured. Running a diagnostic in firebug, I can see the request:

    GET getwebroot, which makes a request to https://%domain-name%/plugin/getwebroot

    is returning a 404.

    I thought that Minify might be causing the issue and with Minify disabled, the site checks out as being secure but the diagnostics still show this request as a returning a 404. Something to be concerned about?
