I recently enabled Force_SSL on one of my Joomla sites (by enabling "Force SSL" in Global Configuration), but I run into problems with blocked content (non-SSL content) from both Google fonts and several external scripts from JotForm.com (loaded through "http://" in template and content).
For this particular site I solved the problem by going through the code and changing each external http://...
reference to https://...
or just //...
, but my question is:
Could this be solved easier or more efficient by automatically changing http://...
to https://...
in the source code (with a plugin) or using the .htaccess
file?
http://
link is sent back to the browser..htaccess
file would never see external links. AnafterRender
plugin should be able to do the trick, but you would have to be careful with standard anchor tag links to sites that don't support https. If you changed those, you could break links.
