https not displaying properly

[burtonsnow8]

My https works but is showing with a little red exclamation point. I know this means my pages have links with http in them. I've done a search of the source code and the links that do have http in them are coming from the tep_href_link function (I noticed this because originally I was using that function in my sts template and those links were showing with http and not https). I have set in all my configure files and made sure to enable SSL. Some links from the sts code ($categoriesbox, $myaccount, etc) are showing in https. The search one is not, with the search form and advanced search links in http (this may be another tep_href_link error).

 

I've searched just about everywhere but am not sure what is causing this issue

Browse the HTML source coming up in your browser. There will be an 'http://' link in there somewhere which is causing the problem. Find it (them) and try and fix wherever they're coming from to relative references.

ps. Your link is a mess, and the certificate is home made/invalid/expired or something anyway. Have you just changed your site? If so, update your posting to stop wasting people's time looking it up.

I've done that. It looks like they are coming from the tep_href_link function though, which is suppose to display in https when accessing a secure part of my site, but it is not. I don't know what to do.

You have the old style Google analytics code on your page.

 

That'l screw up your SSL

 

Read this

 

Linsk to http pages won't mes up your SSL

 

Just when you load scripts or images from HTTP sources.

Thank you germ! Fixed it right away.

Ok so https shows up fine, but those http links are causing a problem when someone wants to go from a secure page to the non secure page (i'm assuming because the link is http, not https). Basically if you go to any https page of my website and then do a search from the left menu it gives me a security warning (you are entering information that is being sent to a non-secure page). I know that since its search information it is most likely not harmful, but users don't like to see security warnings on websites that they might be making a payment to.

 

I'm using sts template to create that box there, if that helps any. Also, my tep_href_link function doesn't create https links.

I know absolutely ZILCH about STS but here's how you fix it in "standard" osC code.

 

In /includes/boxes/search.php find this code:

 

  $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

Change to:

 

  $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', $request_type, false), 'get'),

That preserves the connection mode (SSL or NONSSL).

 

And you only get that message (you are entering information that is being sent to a non-secure page) in Firefox. IE is fine with the code the way it is.
