Low Search with secure https pages

Media Surgery 4 Sep 2014 06:47 problem, rejected

Hi Low,

I'm trying to get an https site to work with Low Search. It works perfectly locally and without https.

Form code:
{exp:low_search:form result_page="https://domain/search" force_protocol="https" form_id="search"}

Search
{/exp:low_search:form}

Strict urls are not enforced but as mentioned it's working in test environment ok.

Many thanks.

EE 2.8.1 LS : 3.1.5

   What exactly isn't working? Is it not submitting to a https page or is the result page not on https?

   Thanks for quick reply.
   
   It just goes back to the home page and also gives the message you are about to leave a secure page etc..
   
   Thanks.

   Sorted! Path issue. Apologies for wasted time.

   That was my guess. Glad you got it sorted. :)

   Just curious what the path issue was. The action in the search form is running over HTTP, but I've updated my system paths to use HTTPS.

   You probably have to make sure the "URL to the root directory of your site" setting under Admin > General Configuration has https in the URL.

   Thanks!
   
   I've changed that to protocol relative so that it
   
   So I have this in the General Config:
   //www.mydomainname.com
   
   I would try clearing caching, but the General Config change is showing up on other areas of the page.
   
   Any other ideas?
   
   Thanks again for your help!

   Got any extensions running that use the form_declaration_modify_data or form_declaration_return hooks?
   
   LS uses native functionality to generate the opening form tag, so using a native search form will probably result in the same issue, making it not related to LS...

   Thanks! I will look in that direction.
   
   That's the likely culprit.
   
   Thanks again!

    UPDATE: Problem solved
    
    Just to update, this was not an issue with LS.
    
    The site was setting the site_url programmatically and I was able to track it down and update to https.
    
    Thanks again!
