Calendar some times disappearing from our website
Hey guys,

We've been using localendar on our animal rescue website for many years, rarely with any problems. However in the last several months we've had many different people tell us they can't see our calendar on our events page. I was reviewing some calendar notes at a friend's house and we were both on our website looking at the exact same page (www.forgottenfriend.org/events ) on two different laptops. The calendar appeared on my computer but was a blank white space on his computer. Anyone ever heard of this?

In that case we were both using Macbook computers and the Safari browser.

Another friend just told me "right now I can’t get it to appear on Firefox, Google Chrome, nor Internet Explorer". And yet as I sit hear typing this support request, I can see my calendar just fine on both my Mac and my PC.

Any idea why some people can see my calendar and others cannot? Any way to fix this? Thanks!

Re: Calendar some times disappearing from our website
I think I know exactly what the problem is. Isn't it great when someone says that?

First, look at this page:
http://forgottenfriend.org/outreach/events/ (calendar appears!)
Now try this one:
https://forgottenfriend.org/outreach/events/ (calendar missing!)

The problem is, in your HTML code, you have linked to localendar using http://
When someone views your page over https://, that link is considered insecure, so it won't be loaded.

What you want to do is edit the line when you include localendar and change it to what's called a "protocol relative url". Basically, change this:
<iframe src="http://www.localendar.com/public/jesserothacker"

to this:
<iframe src="//www.localendar.com/public/jesserothacker"


That new code will automagically use https or http, depending on how your visitor is accessing your site.

Yes Matt that is awesome!!! I think you figured it out exactly. I made the change and posted the link on FB to have friends test it out. So far 7 out of 7 said the page is now loading correctly. Hopefully no one can replicate the problem now that I changed the coding.

www.forgottenfriend.org/events if anyone wants to try it out with new coding. Thanks for the help!
