a) The list of defines is in includes/filenames.php.

b) When you want SSL. :) In most cases you won't.
"Are you concerned about the content being intercepted" is the question to ask.

Thanks, however, now I am confused as none of these following provides an indication of what to put in the middle.

In includes/filenames.php,

define('FILENAME_ACCOUNT', 'account');

define('FILENAME_PRIVACY', 'privacy');

yet in tpl_site_map_default.php

<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">

<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">

Surprisingly,

<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY,'','NONSSL') . '">

does not occur in tpl_site_map_default.php.

b) When you want SSL. :) In most cases you won't.
"Are you concerned about the content being intercepted" is the question to ask.

For form pages, I would have thought "yes", but for other pages - "no".

Yet, in tpl_site_map_default.php, zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) does not mention either SSL or NONSSL.

Am I understanding correctly that form input data sent via email transmission is relatively insecure, and that invoking SSL via zen_href_link to the form pages will provide an SSL layer for those pages.

Please deconfuse me.

The "middle" parameter contains any parameters you need passed to the page. If you're not doing that kind of advanced coding, you just pass an empty string instead.

In the future you can determine the answer yourself by looking at the function definition for zen_href_link and all its parameters, by using the Developers Toolkit and looking for "function zen_href_link", and then do another search for just "zen_href_link" and see how it's used in various places to understand what parameters are inserted there and when.
