https warnings-Do you want to view the only the webpage content delivered secure...

Upgraded from 1.38 to 1.5 and everything is working great except these darn HTTPS warnings. I am getting them in Chrome and IE and I assume all major browsers. After upgrading I decided to try the black zen template and I think this may be what is causing all of these issues. I have gone through all the files in the template structure and did a lot of NONSSL to SSL var changes and made sure HTTPS option was set to true (think that was in configure.php). Anyway I kept viewing source on the store homepage and got most of the http links finally changed to https except the following sections are killin me and I wonder if anyone with more ZenCart experience than me could help me locate and resolve all of these http links and get them to be https. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tried to Bold some of the http references in each section to make it clearer. Thanks

You don't need to worry about the <a href="http:// ... references. Those won't be causing your problems.

The src="http://..." scenarios are the ones to pay attention to. ref: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=150

In the case of your img src= references, those are probably your custom template's navigation buttons or slider addon etc, and should NOT have been coded with the "http://your_domain.com" in them (those are "absolute" URLs). Instead, they should be entered as "relative" paths, such as /path_to/image.jpg etc. That will get rid of those warnings.

As for your jquery reference, you'll probably want to make that an https link, or write custom code to call it over http or https based on what mode the page is in, $request_type == SSL or NONSSL

Dr. B whatever they are paying you my friend it isn't enough! Kind of half joking because I have a feeling you are volunteering your time which is awesome and much appreciated. Thanks again.

Easiest fix ever. I just winged it after reading your post and brought everything into DreamWeaver and did a Find for http:// and Replace (https://) on the /includes/templates/black-zen dir. I think I should spend some time and shore up the absolute path references but for now its working. Too bad the template author hard coded the absolute paths but I like the template and am grateful for them providing it free of charge, etc. Tell ya what if you ever do any consulting I'd give you my business any day. I can't always go into tech mode and struggle with the issues like you helped me with today and would gladly pay you for your help. Hope you stick around on the board - hard to find clear and competent contributors like you on most forums. Thanks again and all the best DrByte!

Welll, easy maybe, but not really the right way to do this. You will now have https calls on non SSL pages too, and this will slow the site down... Slow sites can be penalised by Google and the other SE's

Clear evidence of a template designer that should rather take up knitting as a hobby... Extensive hard coding is a sign that they don't really have a clue as to how ZC works... Extrapolate that and one starts to think of other bad code they may have forced into the system...
