I'm not certain how to make a chronoform secure. I have an SSL, but when I use https:// instead of http:// it just reverts back to http://.

I even tried making a menu item and enabling SSL that way but clicking that link also reverts to http://.

Am I missing something obvious?

Hi Velexia,

When you say ChronoForm is reverting what exactly do you see happening?

ChronoForms should just reflect the http/https status of the calling URL.

Hi Velexia,
Please check your configuration.php file (for your joomla installation), and look for the $live_site directive. If set, this will unfortunately override CF's detection whether the form was accessed through HTTP or HTTPS (or which URL if you have multiple domainnames pointing to the same joomla site), and be used instead.

You could still set a submit URL manually to use HTTPS, though you'll still get warnings about unsecure content on the page (javascripts and stylesheets included by CF will still use the $live_site path, if set). The best solution is to not use the $live_site setting unless absolutely needed by some legacy component/module/plugin.
