Hi all,

I have a Skype box on my website , it is in the footer.
But the buttons from Skype are  non-ssl and therefor will trigger problems when i install the ssl part of the site , so i need to turn Skype off on ssl pages.

I found the following code in an other Skype contribution.

My question is , would this code be ok and where is the best place to put it.
I also use the Header-Footer-Contents contri and therefor i have also a sub-footer and a sub-header.

/* code to disable Skype on SSL pages */
if ($request_type != 'SSL') {
				// Skype Contact box only visible when on non-secured pages
				include(DIR_WS_BOXES .'skype_contact.php');
		}

Many thanks in advance,

Rob

I don't understand what you mean by asking "where should I put this?". You go and find wherever Skype code is embedded in osC pages, and wrap

/* code to disable Skype on SSL pages */
  if ($request_type != 'SSL') {
							// Skype Contact box only visible when on non-secured pages 

and

  }

around it to prevent it from being invoked on an SSL-secured page. I'm assuming that the skype_contact.php file includes all the links, etc., and there isn't a separate function call to make elsewhere on the page.

Note that if this is within a function definition, you will need to add

global $request_type;

after the function line and before the above code, to make the variable $request_type available to the code. It's possible, but not likely, that it's already in the code, so check to prevent a duplicate "global".

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the response.
Actualy the Skype box has just 2 files , one in the includes/languages folder and one in the include/modules/header-footer-contents folder wich puts it in the footer.
So , if not prevented , i think it will display on every page.

Sorry , i am a noob and i do not understand what you mean with " wherever Skype code is embedded in osC pages" could you please explain a bit more?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hello CrazyCarzCustoms,

You have added Skype box in footer. ( included contribution file in footer file ). just check in catalog/includes/footer.php file skype box code( may be you will get included skype_me.php ) add condition  there.
if ($request_type != 'SSL') {
}


Thanks

Hi Praful

Thanks for your answer.
The actual Skype file is not in the footer but gets send there by the Header-footer-contents module , it´s a modular system.


I will put your code into the footer and sub-footer file because that is were the Skype file is send to.

Thanks very much,

Rob
