Google Plus 1

[phil99]

Google have updated and changed their code since releasing the button. They now suggest you must call https (this will stop your security warning) and also position the code no longer in the header but at the end of the body just before </body>

The problem I have now is that the button only works when the pages are SSL... if the URL is https then the button works perfectly, otherwise if its http I get the red error button.

Is the code in an SSL page different from a non? That would make the button work or not?

I have spent 5 days on this now, just at a complete blank.

My site is www.classicmoviestore.co.uk

Well, this is exactly the issue, we were displaying the button on product page which is non-ssl but the button is being called from ssl page which is throwing errors. It will make sense if the page the button is on is ssl to call the script from https and if it's non-ssl to use the http. Really don't know what's the big deal while Google feels the need to call it from https when most site will probably display the Google Plus 1 button on non-ssl pages.

I am somewhat confused by 'calling the script from https'.

Does that mean you can only put the button on https pages? Or you have to call/download the script from their https url?


Im sure other websites have the plusone button on non secure pages?

If I were me, I'd give +1 a pass for a few more weeks while others work out the bugs and implications. I'm never an early adopter, and I think you're finding out why.

Hi Rockmellon

I don't have a html_header.php in my overrides either.
What should I do to put both parts of script in correct places ?

You need to put the html_header.php file in your overrides folder - includes/templates/your_template/common. IF that's where you want to put the call script. I put it as the last entry of includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php. The reason I put it there rather than the header is because I have a couple other js calls in the header and the Plus One wasn't working.

So, in summary. Put <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script> in whichever file where it works. And, put the <glusone></glusone> button code where you want the button to appear. I have it on my index page at the bottom, and also on my product pages.

It works :)
I finally put Google code in these files:

located in: /includes/templates/---my template---/common

1. tpl_main_page

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>

2. tpl_footer

<glusone></glusone>

Thanks again !

So where in the html_header.php do I add the required script?
