phpbb force https acces on login page

in includes/functions.php find lines containing S_LOGIN_ACTION and U_ACP and prepend your phpbb usl with ssl to their values. For example:

S_LOGIN_ACTION' => build_url(array('f')),

becomes
S_LOGIN_ACTION' => 'https://www.greatwallhiking.com/forum/' . build_url(array('f')),

and
S_LOGIN_ACTION' => ((!defined('ADMIN_START')) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}ucp.$phpEx", 'mode=login') : append_sid("index.$phpEx", false, true, $user->session_id)),

becomes
S_LOGIN_ACTION' => 'https://www.greatwallhiking.com/forum/' . ((!defined('ADMIN_START')) ? append_sid("{ucp.$phpEx", 'mode=login') : append_sid("adm/index.$phpEx", false, true, $user->session_id)),

and
U_ACP' => ($auth->acl_get('a_') && !empty($user->data['is_registered'])) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}adm/index.$phpEx", false, true, $user->session_id) : '')

becomes
U_ACP' => ($auth->acl_get('a_') && !empty($user->data['is_registered'])) ? 'https://www.greatwallhiking.com/forum/' . append_sid("{phpbb_root_path}adm/index.$phpEx", false, true, $user->session_id) : '')
