Hi Walter

I need some help here for an ongoing problem. I did contact you about this some time ago 6-8 weeks or more but didn’t get to the stage of implementing your then sugestion.

The site above works fine without HTTPS however when HTTPS is applied ‘Carousel 2’ stops functioning.

I understand the the whole site need to be secure in order for the whole sit to work correctly.

• I have downloaded and applied HTTPS-CDN-Helper.fwaction by double clicking the app.

• In the Action tab HTTPS-CDN-Helper I have checked use ‘HTTPS links to …’

• In the Action tab HTTPS-CDN-Helper I have also checked the Use Master checkbox.

• This have been applied to every page

Upon uploading the ‘Carousel 2’ stops functioning.

The CDN Helper is not active on the home page – I can see that the URLs are unchanged, still using http:// prefixes.

Have you tried this on a new page, not one based on a master, just to see if it works there? Sometimes when you modify a master page, the children don’t get the update. When that happens, the best way to reset things is to remove the actions from the master page, publish once, and then re-apply the actions. In between removing from the master and publishing, it is critical that you look at each page one at a time to ensure that the master action is truly gone. When the master content gets detached like this, you can end up with an “orphan” copy of it on the child page(s). You have to delete the one from the master (which should make all child pages dirty and needing re-publishing) but you also have to ensure that any of these orphan copies are gone too before you re-publish and re-apply the actions to the master.

Hi Walter

I’ve tried all of the above with the exception of ‘Have you tried this on a new page, not one based on a master’.

In Develop \> Show Web Inspector \> Console there are four errors shown including:

[blocked] The page at [BajanApple Digital Colour Printing | B2B High Quality Colour Printing](https://www.bajanapple.com/index.html) was not allowed to run insecure content from [http://cdn.freewaypro.com/carousel2/0.1.11/carousel2.js](http://cdn.freewaypro.com/carousel2/0.1.11/carousel2.js).

Your thoughts on this?

Please try it on a new blank page. The Action really does work. Also make sure that you add the CDN Helper action AFTER all other Actions on the page.

Hi Walter

I’ve produced a test page found here: [http://ow.ly/6tHY30lhw0i](http://ow.ly/6tHY30lhw0i) but the results are the same.

I’ve just created a test page here: [Information for existing FreewayTalk / Groups.io users - Site Feedback - Softpress Talk](https://freewaytalk.softpress.com/test/https-carousel.html)

This is created by:

- making a blank empty page with Freeway 7, no other Actions or resources.
- Drawing an HTML box on the page, applying the Carousel 2 Action to it.
- Drawing another HTML box on the page (same size) and applying the Carousel 2 Pane Action to it.
- Repeating the previous step a few times, and changing the colors of all the boxes.
- Applying the HTTPS CDN Helper to the page.

This actually works, really.

Hi Walter

At last I’ve managed to resolve the problem I was having with HTTPS and Carousel 2.

I found the answer to my problem here [Carousel 2 - ActionsForge](http://actionsforge.com/actions/carousel-2)

I thought I was using the latest version of carousel-2 Carousel2.fwaction (2018-03-21 ) but I was actually using Carousel2.fwaction (2013-03-02)

I read your instructions in the article in Action Forge Dated March 2018.

I then followed your suggestion here:  
Drag the graphic box over the top of the HTML box, pressing the spacebar as you do. When the edges of the HTML box highlight blue, you may release the mouse button and let go of the spacebar. Then you may drag the image (which is now a nested child of the HTML box) into the top-left corner of the HTML box, or use the Inspector to do the same. Remove the Action from the image, and apply it to the HTML box, following the same settings as the Action on the graphic box.

This worked and resolved the issue.

Thank you for your help directly and indirectly.

I got this reply from Google

The issue really won’t be solved by generating a new API key. A new API key won’t be able to accomplish anything your current API key can’t already to.  
The only thing that will solve your issue is changing the “[http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?](http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?)…” to “[https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?)…”, which is just an addition of an ‘s’ in the url, that is, changing ‘http’ to ‘https’.

Do you not have any person more familiar with web development working with you that can make that change?  
Or you said it’s entirely handled by the application you’re using? You need to see if, when providing your Google Maps API key, you can specify that the Map be loaded using https.

Can anyone tell me (within the freeway) page how would I change the http to https to resolve this issue? or is there an easier way in Freeway 7?

Hi Tony

You need to tell the browser to load the site using https.

You can do this by adding a .htaccess file into your public folder adding the following…

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on  
RewriteRule (.\*) https://%{HTTP\_HOST}%{REQUEST\_URI} [R=301,L]
