Running Koha OPAC over SSL breaks GoogleIndicTransliteration syspref function
Hi all, GoogleIndicTransliteration is a nifty Koha feature allowing easy typing and searching in several (mainly Indic) languages to a lot of users from the Indian sub-continent and elsewhere. However, a MIXED CONTENT bug prevents it from working if the OPAC is run over https. It is however a trivial fix and I've filed a bug (id 17103) on the bugzilla with the patch to fix it. For non IT geeks, here's a blog post that tries to explain the issue and how to fix it in simple terms - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/12/koha-opac-over-ssl-breaks-google... cheers, idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg
