Security Feature

Recommended Posts

I enabled the secure checkout while installing the script but I realized my webhost doesn't support it and everytime I checkout or click on "My Account" it awares me that it is secure and then goes to a page cannot be displayed page. I would like to know just how to disable the secure checkout so the page could be diplayed.

 

I would also like to know how to change the titles of the pages. As in, on this page, http://kastlservers.com/index.php, the top say's, "What's New Here?". I would like to change that to somethign different.

 

Another question is regarding the "Information" box on the left side panel. Is there anyway to edit those links and what the links say and how would I edit those pages?

 

Another question would be on the main page, on the bottom is states, "New Products For %Month%". Is there anyway I can just delete that section from appearing?

 

This question is about the reviews feature. Is there anyway to dissable this feature so there will be no reviews or ratings on the products that are going to be posted??

 

One last thing is the bottom, where it says, "Copyright ? 2003 osCommerce", I was wondering how I would edit that so I could update the year so it doesn't look like the site is outdated.

 

I do plan on giving osCommerce full credit for all the help it has done for me. The script is excellent so far, if I could just get these questions answered osCommerce will probably be the best script I have ever encountered. I thank you for your help. Thank you.

 

Also, I am referring to my osCommerce installment to all of these which can be found at http://kastlservers.com/index.php. Thank you.

You're clearly keen to get started, but you'll have more luck with single questions rather than reeling off all you can think of - it seems like you are just asking people to do your grunt work, which is not how it works.

 

For your first problem, you can configure this in your Admin App I believe - a setting called "secure checkout" or something similar - I don't use the Admin app, so can't remember exactly.

 

The other items involve going into various files and changing either HTML or the text that is displayed. Read the knowledge base first, then look through the "tips and tricks", experiment for a bit, and if you are still stuck, ask again.

 

Of course, you may get lucky and someone will answer all your questions in one go, but you'll learn a lot more trying to find these things out for yourself...

Thank you. Yes, I have looked into the information database and it has helped me a lot but that page cannot be displayed when you add something to the cart or when you go to my account. I thought it was the security issue and I still think it is, but I cannot seem to find the option to disable it.

 

I will fool around with the files and HTML. Thank you.

 

The most important is the security so if that gets fixed that is good. Thank you

The search function is your new best friend. Learning how to use it effectively will smooth out your ride with osC considerably.

 

Good luck!

Thank you, but I already did search on the security disabaling and haven't gotten anywhere.

Hi,

 

Regarding the osCommerce 2003 at the bottom of the page, it is in a file called english.php located in /includes/languages/

 

at the bottom is this...

 

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © 2003 <a href="http://www.oscommerce.com" target="_blank">osCommerce</a><br>Powered by <a href="http://www.oscommerce.com" target="_blank">osCommerce</a>');

 

...I would think you just need to change this and then upload it (you will need to do this for each language that you are using!)

 

Hope this answers at least one of your questions.

Sorry, I misled you with the "secure" stuff - this is actually controlled in the

catalog/includes/configure.php file

 

 

Look for:

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

 

near the top, and make sure it is set false if you do not have a SSL cert installed yet.

 

 

If you are still getting "page cannot be displayed" errors, then the problem lies elsewhere.
