SSL Certificates

I found the reason why none of the twitter buttons work: dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button/faq#https

They work only on http pages.

So that explains the problem. So maybe we should disable the twitter button on HTTP or display it manually...

Hmmm, I'm not sure....

Have you tried ssl redirect plugin by Yireo? extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-ma...rl-redirection/11326

Hi!

is there a way to completely disable/get rid of the ssl in HS? i asked the developers why the ssl redirect plugin wasnt working for me, and they said any other plugin etc to do with ssl's will clash with it.

This would solve the problem of the twitter plugin on the products pages, and also from pages redirecting between https and http causing crawling errors, people bookmarking wrong pages, and also browser insecure page warnings.

Right now I have setup my cart to show on a hidden menu, forced a menu in HS, and using rockettheme "menuless" pages option, I have gotten rid of anything the user can click (modules/menus/links) on during the checkout process that takes them back to any pages other than the shopping cart, and I noticed this morning I have had an abandon cart order - probably not the most user friendly way to do this.

The reason why this is so important to me is because over 90% of my sales come from social media, and having twitter and other social plugins on my site is a major time saver, as well as having a viral effect.

OR, is there a way to configure HS so the pages dont switch between ssl and no ssl?

If anyone else is having the same problem, I thought of using metamod: www.metamodpro.com/metamod/recipes/36-co...-on-virtuemart-pages to maybe fix the problem, but I'm not able to understand how to use it.

Anyway, just throwing some ideas out there!

Thanks!

The only SSL related option in HikaShop is "Force SSL on checkout" in the configuration which redirects to the SSL mode on the checkout when it founds that the SSL is not activated.

Other than that, HikaShop keeps the current mode SSL or non SSL everywhere else.

Bugger, must be something else clashing with it then...

As always, thank you!

Hi Nicolas,

Sorry for my ignorance... I didnt ask the question correctly - is there a way to remove the code that controls the ssl function in HS?

I would like to just override everything with ssl redirect plugin because it is becoming a logistical nightmare to configure my shop/site, without getting browser warnings.

Thanks

I'm not following you. You can just turn off the "Force SSL on checkout" option in the configuration and there will be no SSL related code executed by HikaShop.

Hi Bugger101, try setting SSL enabled to "no" for each of your menu items; see Parameters(System) setting when you edit a menu item. This escapes you out of https when you navigate away from non SSL pages. HS will force the https in the checkout using the HS setting described by Nicolas.

PS: There is a known Joomla bug with this setting for the default menu item which I have never been able to resolve.

May help... cheers

Thanks Nicolas - sorry to be like an annoying fly! You just answered my question

Hey JIK, thanks so much for your input. I gave it a try, and it works to a degree, but still a few issues - pulling my hair out doesn't help either, so I don't recommend you try that

The only last resort solution to this is maybe having the checkout on a subdomain... Is this possible Nicolas?

Thanks! :blink:

There is no option for that. You would have to edit the code of the file step of the view checkout and add your redirect yourself.

Okey doke, thanks for that
