Good day…on this home pages, www.fishfactory.us…there should be 4 photos that dissolve to one-another.
This works in “preview”, and I’ve triple-checked that the images are in the Resources folder….but I simply cannot get them to show when hosted. The images should display just below the head l ogo where there is currently a blue field.
Thanks
Hi Matt,
This seems to be caused by an insecure (http) link to JavaScript libraries.
Safari reports:
“[Warning] [blocked] The page at https://www.fishfactory.us/ requested insecure content from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.0.0/prototype.js. This content was blocked and must be served over HTTPS.”
[Warning] [blocked] The page at https://www.fishfactory.us/ requested insecure content from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/scriptaculous/1.9.0/scriptaculous.js?load=effects. This content was blocked and must be served over HTTPS.
Are you using the latest version of this Action?
Hi Jeremy!
Thanks very much for your response! To be honest, I just don’t know. I will review and report back.
Well, I installed the new scriptataculous from the link provided. Under Actions, I see both - the one updated today is checked, the other is not. I only installed the one…do they all need to be updated?
Now I have a worse mess. Graphics missing, etc.. They all preview fine.
Glad for thoughts. If this continues to be an issue….I may just go to one image.
Freeway helpfully caches a copy of any Action that is applied to or within a document in the Freeway document itself. (This is to allow a document that has an Action applied to be opened on another computer that might not have that Action installed there.) My guess is that the copy that is applied on one or more pages is still showing up in the menu.
You should carefully look through the document (each page) and see which one is applied to the pages/elements on the page. There may be a way to figure this out from one of the Freeway menus, but I am going on fumes with this, as I have not had a Mac that could run Freeway in nearly ten years.

I think you need to update the Standard suite of Actions (Standard.fwactionb), which includes Show Hide Layer and Show Hide Image). Or it might be best to update all the Actions that are available from that link.
The site may preview OK, if browsers allow you to access an insecure (http) link from a local (file) link, but it won’t work online because browsers do not allow you to access an insecure link from a secure (https) link. However, if you preview in Safari and choose Show Page Source from the Develop menu, you can tell whether the problem has been resolved: the <script>links at the top of the page should contain https:// rather than http://. (The online source for your home page still has insecure links.)
If you don’t see a Develop menu in Safari’s menu bar, choose Settings from the Safari menu, click Advanced, and select Show features for web developers.
Thank you, Jeremy. Will do as suggested. I went back to the version without and so much got messed up. Have gone back to a version captured a year ago by Time Machine. Making small changes and it gets all messed up. Change the logo at the top….photos disappear elsewhere on the page, for example.
I did notice that several of the .pngs are now causing a message when I try to import them….yet they open in Photoshop. I rebuilt that graphic…placed it at the top of the page….and many of the photos on the home page disappear.
I’ve been maintaining a machine with Mojave just for Freeway…but maybe its time I look into updating some of these sites.
Am I safe to assume that Xway doesn’t allow me to import a site made in Freeway to avoid much of the work?
Hi Matt,
If you resolve the insecure links by using the latest versions of Freeway Actions, what you see online should match what you see in local previews. I don’t think going back to an earlier version will help very much. The main reason you are having problems is that your site is now secure (https), as it should be, so insecure (http) links no longer work.
Xway can import Freeway documents, but it doesn’t support old methods of layout, such as table layout - which I don’t think your site uses. The main thing I think you’d need to do with your site would be to replace float layouts (and associated “clearfix” hacks) with flexbox layouts. A possible halfway measure: you could add “float” properties back using extended properties, and I think you could add “clearfix” back using CSS Markup.
There is an appendix on importing Freeway sites in the Xway User Guide (available from Xway’s Help menu).
Thanks as always Jeremy….I will look at l this.
The only reason I went back to an old version was that it at least worked.
I will also look into Xway.
