Define Pages, EZ Pages & SSL

[kwright]

Using Zen 138a,

Here is what I have. I have created a survey form based on the Special Orders form contrib. I link to the survey from 2 places in my site.

The first is from an EZ page using the internal link url (index.php?main_page=survey) option and is checked to use SSL. This works.

The other is from a link in a define page. The link in the define page is a relitive link (href="index.php?main_page=survey") like that in the EZ page.

Here is my question,
Other then making the link absolute
(href="https://mydoamin.com/index.php?main_page=survey"), is there a pram (ssl=yes) I can pass on the url or other method to force a zen page to be SSL?

Thank you!

Why would you want this page to be in SSL? It is not a login or payment type of page

We ask for personal information and found, on our older static site, more participation in the survey when it is secure.

I also may have use for this ability down the road...

I understand your preference...and if this were a php page I would have the answer but I do not think you can include php code in an ezpage??

But this is just a link to some other file "survey" correct?
What form is the "survey" page? php or html?

[kwright]

Actually, the EZ page link to the survey works with SSL, it is the link to the survey from a Define page that I need to force SSL.

I can place php code in define pages with no problem! What is your suggested code?

Again, I wish to do this with out having to use absolute paths. The primary reason for this is the difference between my development store and our live store. I would have to change all absolute paths before moving to the live store...

This workaround is designed to have a element in the head for ONLY the pages you define... so like page_2 for example.

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1235

So the next step is simple... in the code file include put this...

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://mydomain.com/page_2.html">

Bingo, redirect just that page to always SSL.

You still did not specify if this is a php page but as you state drfinrd page and that this is the path

index.php?main_page=survey

I will assume that all the other things in other places are entered for this page
The following is modified from tpl_login_default.php

<?php echo zen_draw_form('create', zen_href_link(FILENAME_SURVEY, '', 'SSL')); ?>

[kwright]

Thanks for the suggestions kobra and mprough!

kobra,

You got me going in the correct direction with the zen_href_link function! I knew it was just that easy!

I used that for generating the SSL link in both the Define page link to the form and in the actual form tag submission link to keep it in SSL!

And yes, the survey form is php, sorry...
