Mini Mods - IMG Cacher - SSL Keeper - Mixed Content Block Solution

Pretty much you use this when you want to keep the SSL certificete working on pages that people may use [IMG] tag's without https://.

When you use SSL on your forum, and somebody embeds an image from a non-ssl host, lots of browsers will give you a warning and say the website is unsafe ---this is a solution to that problem.

Specifically, Mozilla has a 'Mixed Content Blocker', which makes it so if you are on an https:// website, it won't load any content on the same domain, using http://.



NOTE: MAKE SURE THE .HTACCESS FILE IN cache-img/ IS WORKING!



Upload the files into your root directory, and that's it.

Then you need to create a plugin (admincp -> plugins & products -> add new plugin)
Hook location: bbcode_img_match
Title: SSL IMG Cacher
Execution order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

$link_parsed = parse_url($link);
if ($link_parsed['host'] != '[LINK_TO_YOUR_WEBSITE]')
{
 $link = $this->registry->options['bburl'] . '/cache.php?img=' . urlencode($link);
 $retval = ($fullsize ? '<div class="size_fullsize">' : '')  . '<img src="' .  $link . '" border="0" alt="" />' . ($fullsize ? '</div>' : '');
}

Plugin is active: Yes


edit "[LINK_TO_YOUR_WEBSITE]" - Without http, example: www.dragonbyte-tech.com or www.internot.info etc. etc.

Then you are done.

It should be secure as the actual directory for the images is not available.(deny from all in htaccess)


I would also suggest adding this to robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cache.php

Also I suggest you add something like this to .htaccess:

<FilesMatch "cache\.php$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public"
</FilesMatch>

I'll give you an example of how to do it.

This is mine:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8761986403507850";
/* bugabuse */
google_ad_slot = "9327213821";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

edit this part:

src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

and make it https://

The embedded image appears in the cache_img directory but it doesn't appear in the posted thread. How to make it appear there?

this part. if you've already done that and it doesn't work, PM me some credentials for me to login to your forum (and a link to the forum) and I'll have a look.

LoL. but editing the adsense code may lead to account ban. I searched about it few months ago.. :erm:

replacing http with https will not cause a ban.

Please re-download the modification. I forgot to update a part of the code for it to actually work.

Once you've re-downloaded it, it will work.

Ok, thanks!

Edited: It's working now,

thanks again :up: !
