I’m removing index.php from my site, which works fine using the simplest “file and directory check” method. I have a Wiki that’s for my eyes only (controlled first at the template level), but I’d additionally like to force the Wiki to use SSL (I have a certificate installed).

I can get it to work like this:

But that still adds “index.php” to the URL, which I don’t want. I’m missing some small part of that equation.

Also, I’m assuming I should go into the wiki templates and change something so all links start with “https://”? Or is that not possible? I see variables like “{path:view_category}” and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a “{securepath:view_category}” version.

Any help with the htaccess appreciated

Nothing doing, eh?

I’d settle for being able to make all the links the wiki generates start with “https” - ideally without hacking a core file.

Try adding index.php in the rule, but not the rewrite, like so:

I am not aware of any config option. You’d probably need to rewrite every http:// to https://. If you (and the wiki—not sure) are using relative URLs, this won’t be an issue.

Untested.

Ingmar, that seemed to work fine for forcing the Wiki links to go to “https”, thanks for your help.

It would probably be more efficient for the auto-generated Wiki links to just spit out “https://” in ther first place, but I looked at the core files and don’t see how I’d do that easily in the first place, as those auto-generated links are so dependent on various internal link-making functions already.

This will work fine for now, though. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I just tried updating my Wiki, the browser does throw an error saying my update will be unencrypted, even though the page is encrypted. Even if I click continue, my update isn’t saved.

Hasn’t anyone else come across the need to create a protected Wiki that holds potentially ‘sensitive’ information? I can protect the pages at the template level easily enough, but it would be nice to allow it to use SSL as well. I suppose I could define a new constant or variable (i.e. ‘https://www.mysite.com’), and then change all instances of {path:wiki_home} to that variable in the default.php file for my Wiki theme?

Just a question regarding my last paragraph there: is making a new constant something I can/should do to get the Wiki to auto-generate secure URLs? I just want a secure Wiki. I may consider another Wiki (what one, I don’t know) as long as it will let me secure it!
