XF 2.1 How to get 'enable push notifications' button in preferences?

[Hilary]

Hi,

I've enabled push notifications in admin, but the button to enable push notifications still doesn't show up under 'preferences' on the front end. This is a brand new forum: one user, one thread, no add-ons. What else do I need to do to get this to appear?

Thanks!

I spoke too soon - that still doesn't do it. I've set it to 'yes' for both admins and (in case I misunderstood permission inheritance) registered users, but the option still doesn't appear. Should I open a support ticket?

Use the analyze permissions in the ACP.

Additionally, your site must be running over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, and you must have support for the GMP extension.

Ah. That seems to be it. I got my host to enable gmp, and the site is running on https with a valid certificate, but 'basic board information' said the forum was installed at http://, and that's what was displaying. Add an https in the address bar, and push notifications work.

However, after editing 'basic board information' to https, domain.com/xf/ still defaults to http instead of https . On any other page of my site, it will default to https. How can I fix that?

Add this in .htaccess to force https:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

I already have that*. It works for every page of my big, fat website except the new /xf directory. If I create a new empty directory, it works for that too.

Something about XenForo overrides it.

*Well, I have

# Get visitors to use https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]

which I'm guessing amounts to the same thing, though I have no idea what's going on there...

Is there something I can add to XenForo's own .htaccess file to force https there without redirecting to the site's home page?
