[Pro] Carousel 2 be used in an https site?

Try adding the HTTPS Helper Action to the page instead. Make sure that you didn’t just add the Action to a Master Page, they don’t always “take” after the page has been made and modified. Go through the Actions Palette on that page and be sure.

I am looking in the head of the page, and the links to the Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries are still http, not https. The Action is designed to fix that. Actually, both of these Actions are designed to fix that.

HTTPS Helper should work with any of my Actions, all it does is find any instances of http in links and replace it with https.

I don’t know what to tell you. I just tried the combination of Carousel 2 and HTTPS Helper on a new blank page, and it worked the way I would expect it to.

In fact, this reminds me that the latest version of Carousel 2 already uses HTTPS by default, and there’s no way to turn it off. Try downloading Carousel 2 again, and re-installing it in the following manner:

  1. Download from ActionsForge: Carousel 2 - ActionsForge
  2. While Freeway is running, drag the downloaded Action on top of Freeway’s Dock icon.
  3. Ensure that you see the warning dialog: You are about to install Actions that replace existing Actions. (wording is not precise)

If you don’t see that warning, then what that means is your document is cacheing an older version of the Action, and you don’t actually have the Action installed on your Mac where Freeway can see it. So if you see a different warning (You are about to install Actions, or something like that) then that means you are installing it for the first time. And that could explain a lot, too.

After you do this, hold down the Control key and choose the hidden option Publish Everything from the File menu. Then upload, and see if the problem is resolved.

If this still doesn’t fix things, try creating a new document (as a test), drawing a single HTML box on an otherwise empty page, applying Carousel 2 to that box, and publishing. View source on the page from within your browser, and see whether there are these lines in the section of the page:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7/prototype.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/scriptaculous/1.9/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>
<script src="https://dnk2vbhoq39rr.cloudfront.net/carousel2/0.2.0/carousel2.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>

Those are the correct links that you should see: note the https:// prefix in them. That’s what I see here when I apply Carousel 2 to a page element. Your page as published has the http:// links in it.

Make sure your other document is not open. Then make a new blank document and put a single empty HTML box on it. Apply the Carousel 2 Action to that box, and publish. You should see nothing at all visual on the page. Blank, entirely. View source, and see if the links are now https. Very important that you not have any other document open. Freeway caches Actions inside the Action document. A new, blank document will not contain any cached Actions (until you actually apply one). One of the side-effects of this caching is that if you have a document open containing a cached Action, Freeway will happily use that Action in another new document that doesn’t have it. It’s a real mess.

Walter… do you mean an entirely new project? please note that that the carousel works in preview but not after uploaded on server

sorry im confused … if I make an entirely new doc with a new carousel I would have to upload on a new space on server?

Ok here is another new doc and the odd thing is that the carousel works but the code still shows http for Protaculous

so I suppose this means that I will have to redo all the carousels on this website which is a pain but please if you could look Walt before I undertake this task? thanks for your help

Your new site is not using https. That’s why the libraries load within the page and everything works. If you have an https page, you have to use https for all resources in that page. The latest version of Carousel 2 uses https everywhere. QED, you don’t have the latest version.

If you apply HTTPS Helper to this same page, ensure that the Use HTTPS checkbox is checked (it is by default), and publish again, do the links to Google Ajax libraries become https?

Hi Carla

Ive had the same issues however may advice would be to make sure your using the latest version of Carousel 2, Im currently this is Carousel2.fwaction (2018-03-21) and this works fine and resolved the issue.

Hi Walter I have done all the fixes, so I am suggesting that I redo shows as simple exhibeo as that works perfectly here…

https://www.davidpfendler.com/ts2.html

thanks so much for your time and advice. I have tried all fixes including a new page last I sent you on y own website where the slideshow worked but the code generated http
I think using exhibeo is path of least resistance as its quick and easy
