Https: issue: Mixed content, and too many redirects

dfirsching

Using https:, I am having a problem with mixed content for http://fonts.googleapis.com although I changed the file in templates/ja_decor/etc/assets.xml.

Also, I getting "too many redirects" in a way that is really odd.

Do you have any recommendations on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi dfirsching

Could you share the admin + ftp account of your site so I can check?

I was able to get past the fonts issue by setting admintools to convert all links to https: when accessed over SSL.
But I still am getting too many redirects.
Any suggestions on how to correct that?
This is a T3 site using JA Decor. I am getting 302s.

OK, it was in creating my 404 page, where I had edited the error.php.
I will try that again -- reverted it for the moment.
Is there a recommended way to create a custom 404 for JA Decor / T3?
Thanks!

I can't provide that access.
What I did was follow instructions to insert information into the error.php of the template as below, where 56 is the ID of the new error page:
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
if (($this->error->getCode()) == '404') {
header('Location: index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56');
exit;
}

	I have had something like that work in the past, but in this case it resulted in too many redirects.  
	If I go to the domain and add /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56  
	the page I would like to show is retrieved.
	
	Thoughts?

Then please try to switch your Joomla template to Protostar - a standard template of Joomla and add your custom code to error file of this Protostar template and see how it goes.
