How to display absolute links sidebox both in SSL and NONSSL page?

[JC.M]

I can't find a support thread for this mod.

Only 3 PHP files uploaded.

1. includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/absolute_links_defines.php

2. includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_absolute_links.php

3. includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/absolute_links.php

The only 'SSL' word I'd found is in the absolute_links.php file.

Most will drop side boxes on secure pages to avoid the issue you are seeing

I just want to display the absolute links sidebox on my customer's account page.

This should be OK as they are just links and can be http

Only thing that will break is if you pull an image or other item into the page from an http location versus from a https location as in an image that exists off your server

This idea just came up.

What if I just duplicate the sidebox. So I have two identical sidebox but with different purpose. One will appear on secure page & the other one on non secure page.

I will then change the code,

1.absolute_links.php

  if ($request_type == 'NONSSL') { 

2.absolute_links_2.php

  if ($request_type == 'SSL') { 

Do you think this would work?

How do we turn off sideboxes on secure pages? I need to drop my live help box in SSL.

Hey! Found something

But this turns blank sidebox off only for checkout and login. But if someone logs in and then browses around they'll get the SSL error

Sorry for making a mountain out of a molehill! It's pretty simple

This bit will turn off the sidebox on all SSL pages

if ($request_type == 'SSL') {
$show_blank_sidebox = false;
}
