in https and then go to another page, kicks customer out and puts back into http?

[AWWWW.WAHWAH]

Ok I took the basic about us page and changed it to a help page, nothing more. now when a customer logs in and site goes to https and they click that help page, it will log them out and go back to http. any clues on what i messed up on? i renamed the about us page to help.php. thanks!

Did you use the tep_href_link function to link to that page??

[AWWWW.WAHWAH]

some files have

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));

 

some have just

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US))

 

do I need to add the SSL I am assuming?

[AWWWW.WAHWAH]

Ok I went back and tested and added the SSL part and it still logs the customer out, blank logon and password yet the URL has https now.

It only has to be SSL if the page is suppose to be secure.

 

When you renamed the page did you add the new page to includes/filenames.php?

Did you create a new language file and put it in includes/languages/english directory?

 

Where is the link to the page at. That is where the SSL part is probably comming from.

I fixed it but cannot explain why it works now. This is what I did.

 

In the config.php file this is what i had

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.mysite.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'https://www.mysite.com');

 

i changed it to

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mysite.com');

 

now the stupid thing works. maybe someone can explain why this works now so future people searching this topic will find it.

[Guest]

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mysite.com');

One of those is still wrong.

 

If your ssl was issued with the www. then that has to be in the config. If not then leave it out.

but it is now working and not kicking people out.

 

I got the info from here?
