Description Fridolin Somers 2025-06-18 08:50:23 UTC
Some web-browsers now only allow HTTPS, we should change links in templates with SSL :

Patch does not impact the links in POD and other sources since it is not visible by end user.
Feel free to patch :D

Guess this is a false warning:
[FAIL] koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/includes/opac-bottom.inc
   SKIP   spelling
   FAIL   valid_template
                jsinclude: not found

It does look like it could be tricky to backport these.

If we're not going to backport, then the community websites should probably have automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirects I think. I am getting reports of people getting 404s when they're clicking on the HTTP links on versions older than 25.05.
Comment 10 Fridolin Somers 2026-01-05 14:02:48 UTC
Automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirects is always a good idea I think
Comment 11 David Nind 2026-01-07 00:32:36 UTC
Any http links in the manual to Koha Community websites were updated as part of link checking for Bug 41498 - Documentation maintenance tasks - December 2025.
