Setting up SSL - Advanced Search returns http page

**guyos** · 15 Sep 2018, 10:57 AM

I changed my config files to use SSL on my entire site

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');

This setting i left on FALSE because i read on the forum that i could otherwise give unneccesary load.
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

But i still do not have the green lock in chrome. Perhaps there are still more issues but this is certainly one of them.
When i use the advanced search on my site it always returns the http instead of the https.

Is there a simple solution for this?

probably.... but without a link to your site, troubleshooting is just a shot in the dark....

definitely change to TRUE. the extra load is negligible and the ENABLE_SSL is used by some of the payment modules and needs to be TRUE.

okay, change the ENABLE_SSL to TRUE - Checked.

Site : www.compu-square.be

On my hosting they also have an option to auto redirect all visitors to the https site but i did not enable it (yet) because i rather correct everything in the code then force it.

You still have some hard-coded links on the page that are http: versus https:. One of them is in the quick_find_header.

Change the action to "index.php?main_page=advanced_searcch_result"

You can use view page source to find others.

Looked a little further. The search seems to be the main culprit but you also have a hard-coded link on the news page going to inno3d

Also, validators are giving you an error for no favicon. I really like iconifier.net. They can generate all the icons you will need.

Thx, found the hardcoded links for the search, that seems to be resolved.

Just to be sure i also uploaded a favicon, thx for the tip.

Unfortunally i still have no green lock after these changes. Still shows mixed content.

Found this in the html_header, also referring to http vs https. Do i need to change this also or does it have no effect?

PHP Code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[COLOR="#FF0000"]http[/COLOR]://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<?php } ?>
<?php if (defined('FAVICON')) { ?>
<link rel="icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON; ?>" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON; ?>" type="image/x-icon" />
<?php } //endif FAVICON ?>

that will have no effect on your problem.....

your problems are here:

includes/templates/compusquare/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css:71
includes/templates/compusquare/css/stylesheet.css:392

Code:

background-image:url(http://www.compu-square.be/images/cart.gif); 

background-image:url('http://www.compu-square.be/includes/templates/compusquare/images/test.png');

a multitude of ways to solve them.

best.

If the content is accessible by https: then yes. As stated there are other ways as well.
