Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 25, 20186 yr Hello ! ? I read this in the improvements articles (technical changes) : Quote The login with HTTPS option has been removed and those who were using it will be given instructions to convert their entire community to HTTPS. I don't understand this. What does it imply ? If one upgrades, then his community will be using https ? Can someone tell me what the instructions are ? What do I have to do on my server ? It's better to know before begining the upgrade... Thank you. ?

Thank you. ? In earlier versions of Invision Community, we had the ability where you could enable HTTPS for logins (and the AdminCP) only. We've removed this due to changes in modern technology and the push to make sites completely behind SSL. If this applies to you, the upgrader will let you know before the upgrade begins. You can follow our guide here:
April 25, 20186 yr Aqui não conf_global.php não há board_url , ele tem base_url Eu adiciono board_url ? Quote <?php $INFO = array ( 'sql_host' => 'localhost', 'sql_database' => 'database', 'sql_user' => 'user', 'sql_pass' => '123456', 'sql_port' => 3306, 'sql_socket' => '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock', 'sql_tbl_prefix' => '', 'sql_utf8mb4' => true, 'board_start' => 1488319759, 'installed' => true, 'base_url' => 'https://eletronicabr.com/', 'guest_group' => 2, 'member_group' => 3, 'admin_group' => 4, );
April 26, 20186 yr Author So, if I understand well, since I'm not using https so far, I won't be asked anything about it during the upgrade process. ? In that case, I will upgrade first and will consider using https after upgrading. Thank you. ?

I have updated the guide, but yes it can be either of those parameters. 18 minutes ago, SecondSight said: So, if I understand well, since I'm not using https so far, I won't be asked anything about it during the upgrade process. ?

April 27, 20186 yr Author Hello ! ? I've had a look at my conf_global.php file. I saw there are many lines where there is a http : Quote $INFO['blog_upload_url'] = 'http://website.com/uploads'; $INFO['gl_link'] = 'http://website.com/index.php?showtopic=462'; $INFO['home_url'] = 'https://website.com'; $INFO['html_url'] = 'https://website.com'; $INFO['upload_url'] = 'http://website.com/uploads'; Should I also change the http to https for all these urls ? Thank you. ?

April 27, 20186 yr Author Well, I asked my server management company to check if everything was ready on my server to use https and... they enabled https on my website. This changed my plans... So, I ran the support tool, updated my community's license, and enabled 'serve images locally'. It seems like it's working fine, except for the index page : https://forums-enseignants-du-primaire.com
April 27, 20186 yr It seems to still be rebuilding. Here's a list of the ones that aren't being served over HTTPS yet:
April 28, 20186 yr If our forum has an old hot-linked image http://host.com/image.jpg and host.com is now secure and the image is also available as https://host.com/image.jpg Will imageproxy still download it?

Aside from what has already been mentioned in this thread, are there any other settings etc, that should be changed if I'm using HTTPS? Thanks again.

As long as they redirect http to https on their end, yes. We make an HTTP request to download the hotlinked image and follow redirects that are indicated. 20 hours ago, openfire said: Thanks for pointing this out, I was unaware.

If your file storage handlers are not serving over https but can, those should be adjusted as well. Most sites don't have to worry about this, but if you use a CDN you may have set up an alternate custom URL for your file storage handler.
