Making a template page secure
For advanced users only! This type of modification is not supported by Allwebco Design, however, the following information will give you some guidelines.
For password protected directories see Password Protect Part or All of Your Website.
How to find your secure server:
Most hosting accounts include a secure server. You may need to contact your hosting company for this server URL. If you have Allwebco hosting, login to you control panel and check under "Site Info" and see "Server Names". Your secure URL should look something like the following:
secure: https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/
Secure setup notes:
- Allwebco Design does not offer support for creating a secure page. You may want to contact your hosting company for more info before you start this type of setup.
- In most cases you will not need to place this secure page in a subdirectory.
- You must edit all the HTML pages that you intend to make secure.
- You will need to edit all .css files and all .js files that your secure HTML pages are linked to or "using".
- You may need to hard code your text into the Flash header. See "Advanced users and the variables" on this support page. Optionally, you can use the template "graphic logo header" for your secure page and make this "graphic_header.js" secure.
- You may want to make copies of your .css files and .js files and rename them to be "secure_filename.???" files so you have separate secure files.
Creating a secure page:
Choose an HTML page you want to make secure. This type of editing is what is known as adding Absolute Paths. You will be adding your secure server path in front of all .js file paths, image paths and .css file paths in your HTML secure page.
NOTE: You will need your files uploaded to your hosting area for this to work when editing on your local hard drive.
Edit your HTML page on your local hard drive. You will put "https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/" in front of all the .js paths, the .css paths, and in front of every image path.
Edit all .css file lines. Example:
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/coolstyle.css" type="text/css">
Edit all .js file lines. Example:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/pop-closeup.js"></script>
Edit all image file lines. Example:
<img src="https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/picts/contact.jpg" height="125" width="200" border="0" alt="Image" class="borders"><br>
NOTE: In "Catalog Order Form Templates" you will need to add your secure path to the Javascript in the "ordering.html". Search for "catalog/" in this page and add your path similar to the following:
document.write('<img src="https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/catalog/'
You must do this with every picture and every file that the secure page will be using.
The .js files:
You must also edit your "menu.js" and put "http://your-web-domain/" in front of all the links and put "https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/" in front of all image paths. You will need to do a lot of editing to your files to make this work properly.
You will need all image paths in your "menu.js" to be secure paths, however, the links to other pages in the "menu.js" need to be absolute, but not secure.
Check every .js file that is being used in your secure page for image paths.
In the "header.js" edit the path to the .swf file in 2 places to make that a secure path, or use the graphic header for your secure page. Also see note #5 above on this page.
Flash .js files:
Template .js files that include Flash like the header.js include the following 2 links. You may want to edit the "http" in these links to "https" to make these secure links:
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
The CSS file:
Search your .css files for "url". These will be image paths. You will need to edit all .css file image paths with your secure path. EXAMPLE:
background-image: url("https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/picts/menu.gif");
Link to the secure page: (once you have created the page)
Once you have edited your template files as indicated above, you can now add a link to your secure page in your "menu.js". In this example we have made the contact.htm secure. Your link may appear similar to the following:
https://plus34.safe-order.net/your-web-domain/contact.htm
SSL Certificate:
Although not required, an "SSL Certificate" may be offered by your hosting company. You will need to contact your hosting company to see if they offer, or for more information, on "SSL Certificates".
