SSL Links

[DamanC]

Hi guys,

 

Just a quick one.

 

I have installed a SSL cert which works great aside from one little problem.

 

I have a create a "create account link" and "login link" embedded in my header.php page. However neither link go to a https version of a page, just the http version.

 

Now I have other links to these pages which work great, one of which is the login page. Both continue (for create account) and sign in buttons point to a https version.

 

Obviously i need to add some kind of code to my header.php to say load the https version, but what?

 

 

This is my code in my header.php file

 

<?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { 

    $acc_link = tep_href_link('account.php');
    $acc_title= HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT;
   } else{ 
    $acc_link = tep_href_link('create_account.php');
    $acc_title= HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT;
   } 
?>                        
           <tr><td><a href="<?php echo $acc_link;?>"><?php echo $acc_title;?></a></td></tr>
<?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { 

 $login_link = tep_href_link('logoff.php');
 $login_title= HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF;
} else{ 
 $login_link = tep_href_link('login.php');
 $login_title= HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN;
} 
?>           

 

 

and this is the code found in the login.php which works

 

<td align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?></td>

 

 

My question is what to add to the header code?

 

Thanks

Im going to take a punt at the create account one

 

Change

 

tep_href_link('create_account.php')

 

to

 

tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL')

 

 

Does this look right?

 

What about the login one?

[MrPhil]

$acc_link = tep_href_link('account.php', '', 'SSL');

will make the link https://... instead of http://... Do the same for your other calls to tep_href_link() where you want to use SSL. Also, why not use FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT etc. instead of the actual file names?

Thanks Mr Phil,

 

I got excited and had a crack using the FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT route (EG tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') and tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') and it works :)

 

Thank you for your help

 

Finally something that has gone right today :)

I have a link that needs to point to an SSL page (HTTPS) and tried your solution but it didn't work for me. Here's what I edited in the information.php file:

 

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FINANCING,",'SSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_FINANCING . '</a><br>' .

It didn't work because in this part of the code:

 

tep_href_link(FILENAME_FINANCING,",'SSL')

 

You used the single character double quotation mark when it needs to be two apostrophe's togther.

 

I know it's hard to look at a post and tell the difference. And in any programming language exact syntax is essential.

 

I just thought you might want to know for future reference.
