disable footer for secure ssl pages

[pjgscrap]

As the title says, I'm trying to disable the entire footer for secure https pages. So far what I've tried alot of different things I thought would work and right now I'm still working with

<?php
if ($request_type == 'SSL') {
$flag_disable_footer = true;
}
else {
$flag_disable_footer = false;
}
?>

Obviously this is not right as it is not working. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[DrByte]

That should be the right logic. Maybe you've put it in the wrong place?

Dr Byte,

I put the code at the start of the tpl_footer.php in the common folder of my override directory as follows:

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_footer.php
 *
 * this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_footer.php<br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_footer = true;<br />

 */
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('footer.php'));
?>
<?php 
if ($request_type == 'SSL') {
$flag_disable_footer = true;
} 
else {
$flag_disable_footer = false;
}
?>

If that's all that's in your file, try putting it *above* the "require" statement ... otherwise it's of no effect.

[pjgscrap]

Hey DrByte, thanks again but this did not work for me. I tried placing the code above the initial php tags, down just above the require statements with and without the php tags and a few other ways. I'm not sure what else to try honestly, it either shows on both or doesn't show on both. This is what I'm currently working with but no go.

<?php
/**

 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_footer.php<br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_footer = true;<br />

DrB or anyone some help please?

[DrByte]

You're very close. The code you posted above contains syntax errors because you're opening <?php tags while already inside an open <?php tag.
Maybe you just need to remove the <?php and ?> that you wrapped around that code you added?

[pjgscrap]

I still need help with this if anyone has any ideas? DrB's last idea did not work either so I guess my code is wrong.

[DrByte]

What do you mean "DrB's last idea did not work either"?
What exactly have you changed?

[pjgscrap]

I tried removing the extra php tags, but still the code did not work.
