SSL cert installed today; noticeable little problem


Guest

Webhost installed the cert today; I made sure the config files are in order; all works well.

 

Except for one page.

 

Create_account.php

 

Fine in the Firefox browser. But, in IE 6.0...SSL gets turned on as it should...and the page loads with an error message at the bottom of the screen. 'Done but with errors on the page'.

 

Never happened until the SSL certificate was installed. What should I be looking for to fix this?

 

The error details read:

 

Line: 114

Char: 28

Error: Syntax Error

Code: 0

URL: https://www.mywebsite.com/create_account.php?

Why Oh Why do you people never show your website name? have you got something to hide? are you ashamed of something? or is it a deeper distrust?

 

Don't you realise that if you show your site address it is easier for others to diagnose your problem.

 

So please - WHAT IS YOUR URL?

Geez, RELAX Michelle.

 

I was always under the impression that it's against forum rules to throw the link to your website out there.

 

But, since you asked.....Click Here

 

And, yes, Alan...it's a solid padlock.

 

No problem with Firefox...just Internet Explorer 6.0

I can't get it to error in any of my browsers.

 

When I look at the source I find this for line 114

 

check_input("telephone", , "Your Telephone Number must contain a minimum of characters.");

 

It seems to be missing the values, ie:

 

check_input("telephone", 10, "Your Telephone Number must contain a minimum of 10 characters.");

 

That's an admin minimum value setting.

Hi Alan,

 

Thanks for looking. That's precisely what my webhost said.

 

Problem with missing values in the telephone number field.

 

I didn't want the telephone number to be a requirement when creating an account...so I disabled it by deleting any number as being a minimum requirement in Admin. The field is blank. And I replaced the red asterisk which makes it 'look' required with the word 'optional'.

 

What to do? I DON'T want that field to be a requirement. But, obviously, it may be butting heads somehow with the SSL certificate.

 

Could I just go into create_account.php and disable the calls for the telephone number field to be written on the screen? And go back into Admin and put the minimum number back?

 

Having a telephone number as a required field is a real turn-off, in my opinion. It's bad enough that someone has to create a username and password to begin with. I refuse to install the Purchase Without Account contrib as I did have that on my .net site for a year and no one ever used it. Legitimate websites that sell physical goods to consumers....they don't use it, either. What should I do?

I dunno about that. Every website I order from requires a phone number. It doesn't surprise me at all, it's an anti fraud measure.

Seems like the solution would be to comment out:

 

// if (strlen($telephone) < ENTRY_TELEPHONE_MIN_LENGTH) {

// $error = true;

 

// $messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_ERROR);

// }

 

in create_account.php and set the minimum value. It just won't be tested for an error.

Andrea,

 

You relax, I was only pointing out the simplicity including time saving of placing your URL in your 1st post saves people asking for it then checking back to see if you have supplied it. OK!

 

So anyway some work for you go to - Your - create_acount.php Webpage Validation and correct the errors also look here this is your website - Your Webpage Validation Errors

 

With regard to your error it has something to do with the word optional you have placed for the phone and fax numbers. To my knowledge most websites for security verification request at least a contact number, but if you don't want them, why don't you just put it back as it was then edit them out with 2 forward slashes like so // which will stop the questions appearing.

 

You can always request these, in the E-mail follow up that is automatically sent after sign up - more personal and private.

 

By the By, I think the rules mean No Advertising

Hi Alan,

 

I meant Purchase Without Account looking interesting and scandalous...not the telephone number being a required field.

 

Well, I give up.

 

I went back into Admin and enabled the telephone field and monkeyed with the english.php file to make it look as a required field again, which it certainly is now.

 

My IE 6.0 errors have vanished. Now, when I click on 'create an account' all is well. No errors.

 

So, that surely was it. Thank You very much for your help; I do appreciate it!

Hi Michelle,

 

My, that's a fascinating link you gave me to look at. All those errors....

 

99% of which are not of my making. They're built in OSC errors.

 

Honestly, I just wanna kill myself looking at that mile-long list of problems.

 

Well, maybe I'll be in a better mood tomorrow and make a stab at correcting them.

Looks pretty ugly, Michelle. Does everyone else...whomever installed OSC have a list like this to confront? Wish me luck.

Hi Andrea,

 

I never suggested they were instigated by you, but to get a clear Wc3 validation you'll have to correct them.

 

Clearing them will help when search engines crawl your site.

 

Yes I believe everyone gets this problem, just most are not aware of it.

 

When you have cleared them all, Remember! that whenever you add something to your site make a quick Wc3 re-validation to ensure you have no new ones.

 

Keep smilling.
