Solved Login redirect + changes in actual site structure

XenForo version: 1.5.15
XenWord version: 3.5.2
PHP Version: 7.0.19
Multisite or single installation? Multisite


Hello,

In the past i had opened a ticket regarding this, at the moment we are using wordpress with multisite enabled and there never was a way to redirect the users in the right place after the login if not going through loopholes and such making it a nightmare. We are now thinking to move every single site into it's own wordpress installation (or include the content into the main installation) and moving the forum into a subfolder instead of using a subdomain for it and we will move everything from http to https in the process.

At the moment the only plugin conflict is redux framework (our layout uses a different version compared to the one being used by XenWord but we are working around it without a problem)

The site in question is www.gamesource.it + all the other subdomains (ffonline, movies, persona, ecc..) the forum is currently in forum.gamesource.it and we are thinking to move it in gamesource.it/forum

The questions are 2:

1) Will the redirect after login work if we move from multisite to single site? (we will enable the widget for the login and later on code our own login system following the code used in XenWord)

2) Are there problems using https over http? (we had other sites in the past not 100% compatible to https due to hardlinking or poor coding making it difficult to mantain)

Thanks in advance for the support
have a nice day

I had an addon made to properly redirect outside of the local domain, for example: https://forums.electrichorizon.com back to my blog: https://www.electrichorizon.com which is where they initiated the login request, even a specific article, etc. If it is within www.electrichorizon.com you can probably do this yourself by following the instructions that are floating around. if its a different subdomain(Not sub directory) then you'll need the addon or some code changes as I stated. I think sub directory is fine, but its been a while since I looked at it.

What version of redux framework do you need? One of the beauties of XenWord Pro 2017 is that LPH isolated the framework for easy updating and changing versions.

We are going to move the forum from a subdomain to a folder inside the main domain, forum.gamesource.it will become gamesource.it/forum, the only thing i want to make sure about is that doing so the redirect after login will finally work as intended

Redux has been a problem only once, since then we figured out how to fix the problem in a minute or 2. Our layout uses the latest version available at the moment of the upgrade release so we jump right in with the last version of redux as soon as we upgrade it, the isolation is welcome and we will upgrade xenword to the latest version when we begin the moving process.

The only thing left i have to ask is if passing from http to https is going to create problems on the xenword side or if it's safe to use (actually this is our main concern as of now but looking up at the url bar i see this forum is already using https so i can assume it works)

Yes. HTTPS is supported

Could you tell me which addon you are using? At the moment we have one but it doesn't really work as expected and requires changes to the code / htaccess

As for the rest, this can be closed, we moved the entire structure to https without problems, now the hard part to remove external hardcoded http links and such.

Thanks again
