Facebook & SSL

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of putting "external elements" (ex. Facebook Like Box) on site but in the same time I'm asking myself if it can be done for https pages using SSL and if there are any issues regarding security.

 

I'm aware that if you have http links to scripts or images on your https pages browsers will notify user about "unsecure items" with pop-up (especially IE).

 

Is there any way to work something out? Or maybe display "external elements" only when browsing http pages?

If you put a FB button in your header or footer then you will have to use a conditional to determine when you are in SSL and simply not include it on SSL pages.

Since I'm new at this can you please tell me if something like this will work

 

function isHttps()

{

return isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'off');

}

 

Thanks

This works:

 

<?php
 if ( $request_type == 'NONSSL' ) {
?>

******** DELETE THIS LINE AND PUT YOUR "NON-SECURE" CODE HERE ********

<?php
 }
?>

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
