How to fix 'Redirected Loop' issue
Hey, I've got a quick question.
Sometimes when someone tries to go on my retro, they click 'Enter' to vote, page loads, loads, then says 'This page has a redirected loop'
It shows the address by on top: findretros.com/rankings/vote/(hotel name here)
Can someone please help me, I'll post whatever code I'm asked to post too!
I think it is due to the findretro's forwarding the person to your client but the client says he hasn't voted yet and forward him to the voting page.
Put your client php file in here.
Did you set the full link (not just 'client.php') to your client as the redirector after voting on your settings of the API? When you login to your account on findretros.com you need to set the redirector to the full link of your hotel's client, which is under some obscure settings.

The return url is my hotel /client
This happens before people even vote man. When they click enter client, then it says " This page has a redirected loop " they didn't even play the game yet.

Okay so now for my friend it says website is offline, but it's only for him, not redirected loop.
Here's the code: http://pastie.org/private/xxkv0ticycrch7vqgefziq#9,18
To:Code:<?php require_once('api.php'); ?>
and have the voting thing return to /client?novote after people have voted.Code:<?php if(!isset($_GET['novote']]){require_once('api.php'); } ?>
Okay, added it but what to do with this issue: Okay so now for my friend it says website is offline, but it's only for him, not redirected loop.

Then idk what the problem is. Might be some other code in your CMS. Can't help you with that.
I never used voting APIs as I think it is useless and the voting sites earn tons of money through their ads.
Did you try set the return URL to your full client link, instead of just /client?
So tried your code again, and client would just be a white page, wouldn't even load.
Messed around with the code, changed it to this:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['novote'])){
require_once('api.php');
}
?>
now it doesnt even give a vote option or anything, just loads client ugh
I said !isset
learn to copy paste.
Lol, why being a dick?
I copy and pasted your CODE fully and it blanked the page..
The redirect loop is because certain internet companies don't allow it. They are mainly a few American providers and one Australian, it is caused from, them firstly being redirected to findretros and then redirected back. There is not alot you can do about this, if you put voting on your client instead of your index it may help but all hotels suffer from this problem. I believe Boon is using SSL to help with that problem. Some days no one gets the redirect loop at all, it;s pot luck unfortunately.
What @TardisHotel said is right.
If the user is being redirected from your hotel over http and not https then a redirect loop may occur as the user may be sent over a proxy by their ISP (from what we figured out). Easiest way to fix this is to enable SSL. You could even just use a CloudFlare page rule (if you're using CloudFlare) for the job.
Alright so, Ill set up the SSL aka HTTP / HTTPS and enable it on Cloudflare PRO, this issue should be resolved?
Try it. We can't confirm for you.
The redirect loop, happens because there is a 'logic loop' in your website files or settings.
What does this means ? It works like this :
1) user try to access your website via address : "http://..."
2) your website try to redirect user to address : "https://..."
3) the user now access your website via address : "https://..."
4) due to some bad configuration or wrong code in website files, your website still try to redirect user to : "https://..."
5) repeat steps 3 and 4 forever, until the browser returns "redirect loop error".
You can consider, checking your .htaccess file for bad url rewrite rules too.
Max.
Thanks, I will have a look.
