Answered bulk conversion of http to https on Revolution 2.5

I manage this French-language site, editart.ch. I aim to add a Letsencrypt certificate, but before doing so I need to make all connections to the site via https. I host the majority of the site's images on AWS S3 and use imgix.com to transport and compress the images, more than 400 of them.

The connections from AWS to editart.ch are made via http. I need to change all the URLs to https, all 400 of them.

Is there a way to do this in bulk on ModX?

Thanks.

If the links are uniform enough, you could do it with a utility snippet using preg_replace(), but it would take some careful testing.

Can you give a few examples of the links?

Also, where are the links (resources, templates, chunks, tvValues, etc.)?

The vast majority of the links look like this -- http://editart.imgix.net/artists-and-poets/poemas-para-mirar/adami.jpg where the path differs for each image. That's the http I want to change to https. They are placed in a TvValue called Art Image with the input option of URL.

Having them in a TV value makes it much easier. Just put this tag on a page:

[[!convertHttp]]

Then create a snippet called convertHttp, with this code (untested):



(Be sure to change the $tvId variable value in the code above. The TV's ID is shown in parentheses in the Template Variable tree in the Manager.)

Then, visit the page with the tag on it and you should be in business.

This assumes that there are no values of Art Image TVs with http that you don't want to convert.

$tvrs = $modx--->getCollection('modTemplateVarResource', array('tmplvarid' => $tvId));

$count = 0;
foreach($tvrs as $tvr) {
   $value = $tvr->get('value');
   $value = str_replace('http', 'https', $value);
   $tvr->set('value', $value);
   $tvr->save();
   $count++;
}

return "<h3>Fixed " . $count . ' TVs</h3>';

Almost works. The code is replacing http with httpsssssss. Do you know why?

I just used the code to convert "httpsssssss" to https. Worked like a charm. Many thanks.

I'm glad I could help. Thanks for reporting back.
