The alternative is to exclude the widget from your secure pages. Ok, I can live with that.
The problem I was having was I am using the "Generic Box" addon to incorporate a facebook and twitter feed on my site and the exclude was not working within the confines of the "Generic Box" Text field. I am guessing because it is an actual PHP command. My next step was to try and replicate the box in my right column going outside the "Generic Box" and this is how I did it.
Got to : catalog/includes/template_bottom.php
Find:
<div id="columnRight" class="grid_<?php echo $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth(); ?>">
<?php echo $oscTemplate->getBlocks('boxes_column_right'); ?>
</div>
Change to:
<div id="columnRight" class="grid_<?php echo $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth(); ?>">
<?php echo $oscTemplate->getBlocks('boxes_column_right'); ?>
<?php
if( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != "on" )
{
?>
<div class="ui-widget-content contentContainer">
*******Insert Your XYZ Widget Here*******
</div>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
So Mine looked like this...
<div id="columnRight" class="grid_<?php echo $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth(); ?>">
<?php echo $oscTemplate->getBlocks('boxes_column_right'); ?>
<?php
if( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != "on" )
{
?>
<div class="ui-widget-content contentContainer">
<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'search',
search: 'Corvette',
interval: 6000,
title: 'Corvette Tweets',
subject: '',
width: 'auto',
height: 300,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '#535454',
color: '#ffffff',
},
tweets: {
background: '#050505',
color: '#f2eff2',
links: '#1985b5'
}
},
features: {
scrollbar: true,
loop: true,
live: true,
hashtags: true,
timestamp: true,
avatars: true,
toptweets: true,
behavior: 'default'
}
}).render().start();
</script>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
You can see it in action at www.wildvettes.com
Look at the home page, then click on my account and watch the widget vanish and give you a safe page encryption message. Hopefully this helps someone else out until Twitter makes the thing secure.
