Force links to SSL

Permalink
I am running version 5.7.5.3.

I have added a Let's Encrypt serfiticate to our site and added both URL's in the dashboard.

How can I change that all links are by default with https? At the moment if I access the page through https URL it still shows all links for example in Automatic navigation block with http.

Should I do this with .htaccess or is there some configuration where I can change that it would force the site to use https in all links?

I also noticed that its loading localization files with full URL's instead of relative ones:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/picturefill.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/events.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/underscore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/backbone.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/bootstrap/dropdown.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/bootstrap/tooltip.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/bootstrap/popover.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/jquery-ui.js"></script>

I'd personally do it either in .htaccess or even on the level above in the server configs (VirtuaHost block if you're using Apache).

But yes, there is also a setting for that under System & Settings > SEO & Statistics > URLs and Redirection. On that page you'll see "Canonical URLs".

I was able to get it working by forcing canonical URL to SSL through /application/config/config.php.

'seo' => array(
       'canonical_url'          => 'https://www.domain.com',
         'trailing_slash' => true,
           'url_rewriting_all' => true
    ),

OK, yeah I think that settings page is touching that config too. But of course, if you manually defined that in /application/config/config.php, you're no longer to update it through the UI (if I recall correctly).

I read from here that it might not work to set https URL to canonical_url through Dashboard:

Seems so based on that.

It also seems it will be "fixed" in v8:
