[Forum] vBulletin 4.2.5 and HTTPs Mixed Content Issue with Skimlinks

[mark99]

I use the default vBulletin Skimlinks plugin and am just about to move my site over to HTTPS from HTTP, although during testing I noticed that it adds this code at the bottom of pages and the source call is to http rather than https (i.e. mixed content warnings).

<script type="text/javascript">   
  		var noskimlinks = false, 			noskimwords = false, 			skimlinks_product = 'vbulletin';  		vBulletin.events.SkimlinksActivate.fire();  	</script> 	<script type="text/javascript" src="[URL="https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/core/view-source:http://s.skimresources.com/js/5630X653681.skimlinks.js"]http://s.skimresources.com/js/5630X653681.skimlinks.js[/URL]"></script>

So my question is, where can I edit that src="" call so that I can change http:// to https:// and call the secure script instead?

You can edit this in:

\packages\skimlinks\hooks\showthread_complete.php

Did you get this working mark99 ? I edited the showthread_complete.php and cleared the cache, but it's still loading as http. Do I need to reinstall the plugin or something?

You will need to edit the file as per Trevor's comment.

Figured it out. Trevor's file edit was working fine in the forums that were skimlinks enabled, but I had hard coded the footer template with to always fire the skimlinks on all articles, which is set as the homepage, with a conditional on product type = CMS. As you can imagine, I was tearing my hair out for a bit! If in doubt though, it's always a hard coding thing......
