secure when needed - SSL

[generic]

How are those of you processing with authorize.net managing to implement SSL for collecting the credit card details.

 

SSL is a requirement for processing cards with most processors.

 

I saw a post about implementing ssl on a few pages, but there are issues with receiving popups about non secure items which is due to images not being called via https: in the templates.

 

Is anyone here using ssl when needed successfully and can you tell me how you did it?

Hi there,

 

There's many users using SSL when needed successfully.

 

Here's a link to the SSL switching plugin: http://www.whmcs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1067

 

For images, use relative urls instead of absolute urls in your template files - I assume these are in a custom header you have implemented as all the WHMCS ones are relative.

Matt, there is an issue with WHMCS and SSL when it comes to the logo url thats specified in the config and is used for invoices, etc. Since its a absolute path thats specified, this will cause issues with the non secure images as he mentioned. I ended up modifying those templates to use a relative url when needed and an absolute during other times.

the issue i located after reading your posts (thank you!) was that a javascript menu i was using had an absolute urll in the config. Once I updated that, it is all good.

 

I will probably use the link to the ssl switching you provided, thakn you again everyone. - looking forward to paying back to the community in knowledge once I learn this system well.

 

ok here is one payback, to modify your logo on the invoice to work with ssl i did as follows:

 

on viewinvoice.tpl

 

change this around line 15:

 

to this:

(or whataver your logos name is.)

 

that corrected the issue with the logos url and ssl for me.
