Initial Email Subject: Compiled libraries deprecating SSL
Support Case Month: October 2012

Dear Kosta

I have just applied a SSL certificate on my server and I noticed something strange on some of the pages being served and that is: the padlock icon disappeared. And after some investigation & trying, I discovered the compiled libraries is cause of the problem. When I remove the SRC tag in the scripts, the padlock appears again.

Is there any work-around for this issue.

Thanks
Roy

Dear Roy,

Are you referring to the security icon? I am not sure on what would be the problem, but I know that loading external scripts may be considered insecure in https sites, depending on where the scripts load from. For example if you have a full-path in the Linking Code it may be insecure while a relative path may be ok.

Can you test this and let me know?

Dear Kostas

Yes I am referring to the security icon.

Can you explain the difference between a full-path & relative path for me to test on.

Thanks

Roy

Full-path:

http://www.mysite.com/menu.js

Root-relative path:

/menu.js

Relative path:

menu.js

Please refer to the screen shot attached.

The Compiled Subfolders (\likno-moda-admin) are normally what I put in place

for all my Modal window projects.

I carry out an experiment by try & error to see which files are creating the problem

and the result is:

If I

1) Leave the “jquery.js” file in the \likno-moda-admin folder and

2) Place the “likno-modal-lib.js” & “likno-modal-project.js” in the root directory “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Billing” and

3) Change the tag to src="likno-modal-project.js"

the padlock appears. Any other placements would cause the padlock top disappear.

Maybe you like to advice me how II should place compile properties so that that icon remains.

Thanks
Roy

Dear Roy,

I think there is a misunderstanding here… I was not referring to the Compile Properties!

My suggestion was that you only change the Linking Code in the actual HTML page. Did you try this?

In your page you should have something like this (this is copied from our own site):

<!-- ******** BEGIN LIKNO WEB MODAL WINDOWS CODE FOR likno-modal-for-lwsc-examples ******** -->

<script type="text/javascript">var lwmwLinkedBy="LiknoWebModalWindows [1]",lwmwName="likno-modal-for-lwsc-examples",lwmwBN="246";</script><script charset="UTF-8" src="/likno-scripts/likno-modal-for-lwsc-examples.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<!-- ******** END LIKNO WEB MODAL WINDOWS CODE FOR likno-modal-for-lwsc-examples ******** -->

I only suggested that you change the highlighted path to be a full-path.

Dear Kostas

1) If I changed to ="/likno-scripts/likno-modal-for-lwsc-examples.js"

It still won’t work

2)If I changed to ="likno-modal-for-lwsc-examples.js"

It works. Provided the “jquery.js” file stays in the folder \likno-moda-admin folder

Yes, I thought so… the script links in a secure site have to be all relative…

Initial Email From: Raúl
Initial Email Subject: Problem with AllWebMenus
Support Case Month: October 2012

Hello
I use AllWebMenus 5 (user: {INFO REMOVED}) and I have a menu running ok.
The directory structure is:
c:\RGB\menu.js
c:\RGB\awmdata
C:\RGB\awmdata\menu
The file C:\RGB\index.html use this menu to go to diferent html
C:\RGB\contacto.html
C:\RGB\supplies.html
...
I need also to use this menu from the file C:\RGB\galeria\index.html
I have try to copy menu.js to gmenu.js (to use in this new file) and modify this file but the
menu appear in the web but don't run the link.
I need help
Please, is very important for me.
Thanks in advance.
Raúl

Dear Raul,

You should not copy the menu in multiple places. Instead, you only need to adjust the Linking Code.

In your page you have a Linking Code that looks something like this:

<!-- ******** BEGIN ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR menu ******** -->

<script type="text/javascript">var MenuLinkedBy="AllWebMenus [4]",awmMenuName="menu",awmBN="GN";awmAltUrl="";</script>

<script charset="UTF-8" src="menu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">awmBuildMenu();</script>

<!-- ******** END ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR menu ******** -->

 

In order to fix the problem, all you need to do is to make sure the “src” path is correct for all pages. For example you could change it to:

 

    src="/RGB/menu.js"

 

This way, it will work regardless of how deep your folders are.

Thanks.

In the menu.js I have line like this:

it=s0.addItemWithImages(1,2,2,"Contacto",n,n,"",n,n,n,3,3,3,n,n,n,"contacto.html",n,n,n,"contacto.html",n,142,30,2,0,0,0,n, n,n,0,0,0,0,0,n,n,n,0,0,0,2,n);

where I point to a html file. But when I use the index file more deep this link don't run. I have try to write

it=s0.addItemWithImages(1,2,2,"Contacto",n,n,"",n,n,n,3,3,3,n,n,n,"contacto.html",n,n,n,"../contacto.html",n,142,30,2,0,0,0,n, n,n,0,0,0,0,0,n,n,n,0,0,0,2,n);

but continue with the same problem.

Regards,

Raúl

Dear Raul,

As I suggested with the “src” issue, the same applies to the links. If your links do not work in inner folders, then you need to make them “root relative”.

So you should not change them to “../contacto.html”, but to “/RGB/contacto.html”, or when you move the site online if “contacto” is a page in the root folder “/contacto.html”.
