comodo trust logo results in SSL hyperlink

[Meepy12]

Hi

I have installed my comodo code , but the result is this weird hyperlink instead of the padlock image. So Comodo asked for:

'a test page containing just the logo nothing else. So that we can further investigate the issue you are having.' because my hosts wanted to know if problem is caused with server blocking or a problem with comodo code?

However I'm unsure how to make a test page, with the logo.

I thought the code only worked in the: tpl_main_page.php ? tpl_footer? or html header?


anyone?
cheers

Try an ezpage with the code - not knowing what the code is....

Ok I have made the ez page, actually I made two for both the snippets of code.

snippet 1) in tplfooter.php:

<a href="http://www.instantssl.com" id="comodoTL">SSL</a>
<script type="text/javascript">TrustLogo("https://www.****.net/images/tl_transp.gif ", "SC5", "none");</script> 

snippet 2) in htmlheader.php

<!--
TrustLogo Html Builder Code:
Shows the logo at URL [url]https://www.*****.net/images/tl_transp.gif[/url] 
Logo type is  ("SC5")
undefined
//-->
<a href="http://www.instantssl.com" id="comodoTL">SSL</a>
<script type="text/javascript">TrustLogo("https://www.****.net/images/tl_transp.gif ", "SC5", "none");</script>

Looking at your site briefly, you have a number of HTML and other issues you will probably want to address prior to the Comodo logo.

Your website specifies XHTML 1.0 Transitional
In XHTML all of your "tags" must be balanced. This means you need a matching end tag for every element. This includes tags like "<br>" and "<img>" which typically are written as "<br />" and "<img />" in XHTML. There are also some unbalanced "<div>" and other tags.

When you use an attribute (href, src, rel, etc) these need to be in the format src="https://www.worldpay.com/images/cardlogos/mastercard.gif". Note the double quotes. No no spaces inside the quotes. You are not allowed to have more than one "id" attribute (you have two id="comodoTL").

Inline javascript should be inside a CDATA block to tell the browser to not parse the script using an XML parser. Most modern browsers will strip the javascript before parseing, but never hurts to cover your bases.

<a href="http://www.instantssl.com" id="comodoTL">SSL</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
TrustLogo("/images/tl_transp.gif", "SC5", "none");
//]]>
</script>

These issues need to be addressed to ensure the web browser knows how the site should be rendered.

A couple of times I also saw problems with your footer not being generated. Not sure what the cause was - but something you might want to look into.

Comodo Trust Logo
This requires a snippet of javascript in the header of your website for any page you wish to place the logo onto. I hate this requirement, but they write additional css includes and other items, so it must be there. I do not see this snippet on your site. For example if you were placing the logo on your shopping cart page you would create a new php file 'includes/templates/your_template_name/jscript/shopping_cart.php' (or just use 'includes/templates/your_template_name/jscript/jscript_comodo.php' for all pages). Inside this file put something like the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var cvc_loc0=(window.location.protocol == "https:")? "https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js" :
"http://www.trustlogo.com/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js";
document.writeln('<scr' + 'ipt language="JavaScript" src="'+cvc_loc0+'" type="text\/javascript">' + '<\/scr' + 'ipt>');
//]]>
</script>

hi

thanks for you detailed feedback, much appreciated.

I should explain that I have a template monster template which was also installed by them. Do you think these xhtml tag issues are caused by who ever wrote/ installed the template as I didn't write the tags?

Are you saying that the worldpay & comodo scripts needed editing before installation?

thanks

It has been a long time since I looked at the site. Typically the fix will be changes to the templates, product/category descriptions, html_defines, or ezpages. You can use the w3c validator service to see more detailed error messages and determine where in the outputted XHTML the problems are.

The footer not appearing could probably be diagnosed the same was as getting a blank or partial page.

Those two snippets worked for Comodo in my test environment. Just need to make sure the second one appears in the header and the first one appears where you want your Comodo logo.
