Hi,

I have a SSL certificate setup and running fine with Zen Cart. The thing is I have the website split into 2 different sections...

The normal website is for retail customers (www.mydomain.com). I then have a separate install of Zen Cart at: www.mydomain.com/trade This is meant for trade customers only.

Due to the way the client wanted it setup they required that all trade customers would have a single username and password to log in (which is supplied to them manually). Therefore I used htaccess to password protect the /trade directory of the website.

I use a https link for the trade section so that the login box for the trade section doesn't display a security error in IE. This all works fine, but when you log in and then click a link to a category or product the links are not using SSL (https) and thus the htaccess requires you to log in again.

If I could change the entire zen cart installation to run under SSL it wouldn't require the double login. I realise it's not ideal to run an entire site using SSL (slowness etc) but the traffic in the trade area is likely to be absolutely minimal, so I don't think it would be a problem (the website is pretty lightweight anyway).

Does anyone know how to do this? Basically I need all links to use https rather than http.

Buttons I have created myself can obviously be changed pretty easily but the automated links such as categories etc all use http by default.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!
