Forms style not secure - Explorer strips style [SOLVED]

ascwash 07 Sep, 2010
I my website is ascwash":dot:"com I'm a validated subscriber, thank you for the extension!

I'm having a problem getting your extension to lock with SSL. All other portions of the site will lock with SSL. When asked by my browser to remove insecure portions of the page it strips the form style...

Current Version Internet Explorer
Windows 7

Firefox also will not lock SSL connection. All other portions of the site will lock SSL except chronoforms.

browser url=https://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=my_formname

action="https://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=my_formname"

Everything else is functioning properly.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I'm reviewing - SSL topic but it's alot of posts, side tracking to other subjects etc.

Hi ascwash,

Fredrik & Max know more about https that I do. My understanding is that ChronoForms follows the calling URL. It sounds as though one of the CSS files may not be being correctly named. Hard to be more precise without seeing the form. FireBug should tell you more.

Hi,
This is most commonly caused by the $live_site setting. I've covered this before quite a long time ago, roughly put; ChronoForm uses the JURI::Base() method to build the path for all included scripts and CSS's. Setting the $live_site setting in configuration.php (in Joomla basedir), effectively locks the output from JURI::Base() to the value of $live_site - disregarding if the client visited using normal http or secure https.

The fix?
Edit your configuration.php file, and make sure $live_site is set to '' or not set at all...

I love you, I love you, I love you!

$live_site was the problem.

Thanks nml375 & Greyhead!
