product:link not switching to https:

Re: product:link not switching to https:



Yeah, it's a different thread all right http://extranet.miva.com/forums/newr...reply&p=439062

And that link is broken.

So has this bug still not been fixed? I've got a site trying to go all https and not only are the links NOT https, they are tacking Session ID's on to them? Do I have to go through and recode every single buggy token to something that works???

Hey Gordon/Bruce, FWIW, you could force secure from the htaccess, but that's a different thread ;

Tried that, doesn't work because you can't get the product:link variable to switch regardless of what settings you use and that's what throws up the warning an prevents the Add to Basket post from working.

Re: product:link not switching to https:

I also forgot to mention, new in 9.0004 if you want a page to be secure, on the page template level there is a checkbox "Link to this page securely" that needs to be checked.

Re: product:link not switching to https:

Well, that makes sense. Brennan, what now?

Re: product:link not switching to https:

I just want to add that under URI Managment settings I can't change URL prefix to an https:// only the Secure URL prefix can start with https://

Re: product:link not switching to https:

Try making the non secure link https as well.

Re: product:link not switching to https:

Ok, changed the Secure URL Prefix: to https://www.domain.com/

Doesn't change the value of product:link used, for example, in

<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview">Quick View</span>

Which of course is a big issue in any browser that wont allow mixed content.

(And yes, we've submitted a support ticket.)

Re: product:link not switching to https:

This change was made in 9.0004. Previous versions of Miva used the domain settings to control the URL prefix. There were some inherent problems with this so when URI management was released it was split out into its own field:

It is covered in the URI Management Docs here:

Re: product:link not switching to https:

So, what is still controlled by the Base Settings under domain? Does the URI Manager controls effect any other variables other than the xxxx:link; variables?

BTW: this is pretty crucial information for developers to know as it can effect not only store development, but modules as well since we often interact with the various merchant variables.

Re: product:link not switching to https:

The base url for the product link should be what is defined under URI Management "Secure URL Prefix"

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Any reason why &mvt:product:link; doesn't switch to https: when the page is accessed via HTTPS?

This of course throws up the "Mix Content" error in Chrome and other browsers and therefore won't let you add to basket.

I've also noticed this when trying to make the entire site run in HTTPS:// can't, because of said error above.

The site is using Legacy SEO Settings via URI Manager if that's worth anything.
