Help making images secure in ssl mode

[ben harry]

I have recently made changes to my site and is unfortunatly now throwing up a display secure and non-secure message at checkout or log in sections. I was just wondering how i can make images secure to stop this message from appearing.

The three main images that i need to edit is in the top right hand corner of the banner, - shopping basket / view basket / checkout

these can be viewed at www.bodykitsonline.co.uk any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

Make your links to them "relative"
change these & any others

To:

Kobra,

I'm using a shared SSL and am currently using
<img src="https://***.***.com/*****/Store/images/shipping.jpg" align="baseline" />

"*** hidden for security"

Is this ok?

This method won't jeopardize my sites security will it?

The image is located in my define_main_page.php file.

I tried using your method but because I am using a shared SSL it would not work the way you suggested.

Thanks

The image is located in my define_main_page.php file.

As main_page.php ONLY shows up on your main page and not on any secure pages it will not have any affect

Kobra,

My define_main_page.php actually does show up as an https:// page. ( Let me explain )

I have the Contest System add on installed and when you click on the enter contest link and you are not logged in it asks you to login or create an account. ( I added that functionality to the contest add on. )

If you then log in it takes you back to the main page and it still shows as https:// thus no image in the define_main_page.php. Why it reverts my main page to https:// I can't tell you but in my case it does.

I also have the login box add on installed as well and if you log in from there it also takes you back to the main page as https://

Could you please answer my previous question?

Thank you

What do you mean by "it would not work the way you suggested"?
What do you mean by "it would not work"?

Using a relative path should work just fine, provided your settings in your configure.php file are correct (namely HTTP_SERVER, HTTPS_SERVER, DIR_WS_CATALOG, DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG).
It's the same with product images: relative paths are used, because that way the SSL and non-SSL pages will still show them correctly.

I made my image links relitave and they would not show up because of the SSL. My main page gets opened as (https:) after you either use the login box add on or the contest add on. I believe the problem arrises because I am using a shared SSL certificate which has a diferent URL than the store in the config file.

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://MyDomainName.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://Name.Server.com/NameServerUsername');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/CelebrityStore/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/CelebrityStore/');

Sorry, But I do not want to post my servers information in a public forum.
