EZ pages not showing in secure checkout screens

[customk1]

ok, i hope this is a simple problem...

on my page, the ezpage links in the header are linked with http://
when i get to the secure pages, the buttons for the ezpage links dissapear entirely, because they are not https://

however, if i change them to https:// customers get an error about the link not being secure, because they are not...

how do i keep the ezpage links up when someone is going thru the login / shopping cart checkout process??

site is in maintenance mode atm, if you need it up to see, let me know.

thanks to all....

Page links are not causing this.... Perhaps an image that is part of the menu?

In any case, changing them to https: is not the answer... Instead make the source links relative


src="images/some_image.gif"

This applies to images, scripts, files included, pop ups etc any sourced element loading in the pages

melanie, thank you for your reply.

right now, the code is set up in the tpl_header.php file like this:

<!--bof-header ezpage links-->
<div id="topbar">
<ul id="topMenuStyle">
<li><a id="item1" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=2'><span class="alt">About Us</span></a></li>
<li><a id="item2" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=3'><span class="alt">Lifetime Guarantee</span></a></li>
<li><a id="item3" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=5'><span class="alt">Eco Friendly</span></a></li>
<li><a id="item4" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=contact_us'><span class="alt">Contact Us</span></a></li>
<li><a id="item7" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=10'><span class="alt">FAQ&apos;s</span></a></li>
<li><a id="item5" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=advanced_search&amp;search_in_description=1&amp;keyword=Enter%20search%20keywords%20here'><span class="alt">Search</span></a></li>
<li><a id="item6" href='http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart'><span class="alt">Shopping Cart</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof-header ezpage links-->

calling to this in the css:

#topMenuStyle li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none; /*removes the bullets*/
}
a#item1 {
    display: block;
    width: 112px;
    height: 35px;
    background: url(/catalogzen/includes/templates/darkness/images/aboutusboth.gif) top left no-repeat;
    margin: 0 auto;
    float: left;
}
a#item1:hover {
    background-position: -112px 0;
}

so, i dont have any hard coded links... ie those including http:// etc.

any additional thoughts??

A Link? So we can see what srcs are being called elsewhere?

certainly...

http://www.customk9design.com

easiest way to replicate problem is to switch from main page to 'log in'... links will disappear.

i should add, that the links are still there, you can click in the 'blank space' and get the page... just the images dont show (sorry, i am realizing now that that is quite pertinent information, sorry to have not mentioned it before! ack!)

thanks for your time on this melanie!

Speak with your webhost, this is a shared SSL...... So as long as your configuration files in Zen Cart are set to use the shared SSL, then the webhost should be able to troubleshoot it.

thanks for your advice melanie, i would not have thought to go back to my hosting company for this.

they advised to put https://web5.justhost.com/~customk1/
before my link...

i had tried just https://customk9design.com.etc
with errors occurring, evidently doing it as above properly routes it thru the shared ssl certificate.

thank you again for your input!
