Library Technology Profile links in Venue Profiles is not working

Hello. The Library Technology Guides ID on the Places/Library venue pages are not working. I believe the URL pointing to LibraryTechnology.org needs to be updated so that the Library Technology Guides ID will work properly.

Currently, LibraryThing links to the URL "http://www.librarytechnology.org/"
The working URL is "https://librarytechnology.org/"

Also, the LibraryTechnology.org reference link is not working, either. The working ID URL now looks like "https://librarytechnology.org/library/8921" where "8921" is the ID.

Example: https://www.librarything.com/venue/3015/Greenville-County-Library-System-Sargent...

>1 komunley: Unless the venue has been claimed by their owners, this is editable by any user.

>2 gilroy: The "lib-web-cats id" field is automated, where you enter the ID and LT creates the URL based on it. (Like the "Also on" field on profile pages). The formula for creating the URL needs to be fixed.

I just tried to add one and was trying to work out if I'd misunderstood the field or something was broken. If it's going to be fixed I won't remove the ID that isn't working.

I couldn't figure this one out last month, I'll see if anyone else can do this.

This is fixed. Updated the links.

>8 knerd.knitter: I've had a quick look on the example given in >1 komunley:
It looks like it is still showing "http" on our links rather than "https", the destination site does forward us to https so the links get there, but would it be best to make them go directly to the https page?

This applies to both the specific page link (with the number in it), and the generic link in parentheses ("Library Technology Guides") next to it.
