SSL secure and non-secure items

I cannot track down my references to non-secure images or links on this site.

http://www.metrofantasies.com/index.php

When I go to login or checkout, I get the ugly "secure and non-secure items" alert.

All images seem to be pointing to relative positions. Does anyone see what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Angel

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

Oh, I should also mention that I have a symbolic link for the http:// and https://, so everything is in one folder on the server.

Also, the warning does not come up when I access the admin.

Take a look at any product and click checkout.

Milo-

Your problems are caused by a domain name mismatch - your site is running with the WWW and the Certificate is missing those ...

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

Would that be something I did trying to generate the crt?
Or something my host did?

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

Hello I am getting the same message;

"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.

Do you want to display the nonsecure items?"

And only appears in Internet Explorer.

The site is http://www.jewelstore.com.au

Could someone explain to me exactly what causes this message? Is it mismatched domain or from hard linked images?

"where" are you getting that message ? I don't see it on your login page.

It's typically caused by having hardcoded http: links to images instead of relative links or https: links.
This also often happens by installing tracking code to a site by blindly copy-and-pasting what's supplied by a tracking company. The links need to be converted to work in secure mode.

Hello thats an example of a page that does it, some poor development has gone onto this project from multiple parties so I imagine their may be many hard links. Will pool through it.

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

drByte is right that there must be a hard-coded link somewhere.

but it's not in your php or javascript files ... it's in your stylesheet's footer code
in your stylesheet.css i see:

.footer_c1 { width:567px; background:#FFFFFF url(http://www.diamondexchange.com.au/starlight/img/footer.png) left bottom;}
.footer_c2 { width:0px;}
.footer_c3 { width:207px; background:#FFFFFF url(http://www.diamondexchange.com.au/starlight/img/footer.png) right bottom;}

those direct links will most likely be what's causing your problem

How do you convert the links?

You could start by changing them to https: instead of http:

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

Go to your checkout page where you get those warnings.
Go to your browser menu ... likely under Edit or View, and choose View Source.
Copy the source to your clipboard, and paste it here for review.

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

Hi DrByte,

Thanks for your response. I realized that during checkout there are links to myspace and google translate (which I would like to keep). Could this be what is causing the problem? If it is, is it possible to disable those links during checkout? What do you suggest?

Thank you.

That is most likely your problem. Yes, of course, disable them during checkout !

Re: SSL secure and non-secure items

Hi DrByte,

How do I disable those links during checkout? I know which file these links are located. But I don't know how to make sure they are displayed when someone is just browsing and turned off when they checkout? Thank you.
