http://xenforo.com/community: Force SSL / HTTPS

[Kleazy]

Any chance xenforo.com server will support SPDY soon?

 

[Jeremy P]

It's a hacky workaround at best, but I use dotjs to rewrite the links here to avoid getting logged out all the time while browsing with https.

$("a[href^='http://xenforo.com'").each(function() {
        $(this).attr('href', $(this).attr('href').replace('http:', 'https:'));
});

And what do you base that on?
That's quite an extraordinary claim to make.

MEH.

I think you misunderstood what Chris is suggesting. He wants only this forum itself to force ssl.

Exactly.

The current problem on Xenforo.com is that some people are logged into https:// and lots of the links are http:// ... and people get logged out if they follow the link.

= Annoying.

 

[Jim Boy]

Slightly off topic, but I'd like XF to be able to support SSL where SSL is handled at the load balancer and SSL is indicated by X-Forwarded-Proto

[Implemented]

 

[Slavik]

Just a thought, anyway. I think people would probably prefer to browse the entire site with HTTPS, especially as the rest of XenForo.com does the same.

*flicks switch*

Like that?

 

[Chris D]

yay!

Thanks!

 

[erich37]

did XenForo.com just introduce https ?

I could not automatically log-in since it seems the saved Password via browser-cookies does not differentiate the URL (without "s" and with "s").

I had to look up my saved PW in the Browser.

 

[Paul B]

Yes.

[erich37]

hmm.... it would be great to have a FAQ for this.
How to set this up for my own forum ?

 

[Paul B]

It's not particularly related to a forum, it's server specific.

 

[Liam W]

Hazaah!

 

[Carla Birch]

What's the benefits of using https over http? It's something I have yet to fully read up on.

 

[Paul B]

More secure, better Google ranking.

 

[Moshe1010]

better Google ranking

1% or less

 

[turtile]

1% or less

Yes, but does that just mean pages total on the web? It wouldn't surprise me to find that only around 1% have an SSL certificate...

Not sure what are you asking. I was referring to the fact that having SSL helps your rank by 1% or less. Websites that have SSL certificate are much less than 1%

I was wondering if they meant rank or percentage of pages it helps.

 

[eva2000]

the 1% is referring to how many global search queries it will affect. Google serves up to 3.5 billion global queries/day, so 1% means 35 million queries/day are affected. See https://community.centminmod.com/threads/https-as-a-google-ranking-signal.1052/

 

[HappyWorld]

I set "Board URL" to https.
But the base href is still http.
Any idea why?"
