SSL private cert for checkout only causing probs

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Is it the above causing it to happen?

no that all looks correct,
thats weird,
but you should never have to change the header files at all

I'm having the same issue. I have a bunch of links in a side-box that go out of Zen Cart, but stay in my site. What I wanted was a way to use relative links, and if the current page was using SSL, turn it off.

I wrote this ugly bit PHP code and put it near the top of my sidebox PHP file:

<?php

  $sslStat = $_SERVER['HTTPS'];
  $currHost = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
  $currURL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  $stripURL = trim($currURL, "/");
  $currArr = explode("/", $stripURL);

function makeInsecureRef($relRef)
{
  global $sslStat, $currHost, $currArr;
  if ($sslStat == "")
  {
    echo $relRef;
  }
  else
  {
    $numURLEle = count($currArr);
    // we don't care about the last
    // element in the array since
    // its the current file.
    $numURLEle = $numURLEle - 1;
    $subRelRef = $relRef;
    $done = false;
    while(!$done)
    {
      if (strcmp("../", substr($subRelRef, 0, 3)) == 0)
      {
        $subRelRef = substr($subRelRef, 3);
        $numURLEle = $numURLEle - 1; // backing up a directory
      }
      else
      {
        $done = true;
      }
      if ($numURLEle < 0)
      {
        echo "Error! " . $relRef;
        return;
      }
    }
    echo "http://" . $currHost . "/";
    for ($i = 0; $i < $numURLEle; $i++)
    {
      echo $currArr[$i] . "/";
    }
    echo $subRelRef;
  }
}
?>

The function makeInsecureRef() assembles a complete URL combining the http:// with the current host (www.mydomain.com) with as much of the current path as is required.

Then to create the links, I call the makeInsecureRef() function this way:

<a href="<? makeInsecureRef("../out_of_zencart.html");?>">

This seems to work well for me.

My question (Sorry to hijack the thread) is, where can I put this within the override system, so that ALL of my pages have access to this function? (I need to use it on my footer and header as well.)

I hope this code is helpful and thanks in advance for some help!
