MX Google Maps does not display in a channel form when the page is loaded over HTTPS. I get the error:

The page at 'https://www.fakesite.com/members/manage-listing/474' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

It also stops all of my other JavaScript from running

edit the file /system/expressionengine/expressionengine/third_party/mx_google_map/ft.mx_google_map.php and change the following lines

On line 135, change:

ee()->cp->add_to_foot('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>');

To

ee()->cp->add_to_foot('<script type="text/javascript" src="//maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>');

and on line 856, change:

ee()->cp->add_to_foot('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>');

To

ee()->cp->add_to_foot('<script type="text/javascript" src="//maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>');

By removing the "http:" from both of the urls you are allowing the browser to choose which protocol to use.

  • Is this something you need to submit a pull request to github.com/MaxLazar/mx-google-map-v1 for?
