How to put Ad Seller Pro in SSL mode

[amwebby]

I've got an ad running on the front page of my Joomla site using SSI.php

All is well until the user switches to https to fill in a secure form. Then the secure icon shows as broken and the Javascript console reports "The page at https://www.amoc.org displayed insecure content from http://www.amoc.org/forum/index.php?action=adpro;sa=v&id=2&l=1000&m=0&t=1359194613.".

How can I make Adseller Pro switch to https or run Adseller Pro in https all the time?

I don't have anything built in to change the urls to https the system uses the default url that the forum uses for all the content.

Hmm, I'm sure I have the forum set to use https. I'll have to check.

Curiouser and couriouser... The forum wasn't set to use https (I'm sure it was..).

However, when I did set it to https everything works fine, until the Joomla site that wraps the forum goes into https. Then the ads don't appear, only the "Advertise Here" link below them.

Can't work that one out, unless the variable I've added to Google Adsense code to switch to https if the site url is secure is somehow getting confused by two secure urls?

My workaround to this is similar to the one I use for Adsense where I've used javascript to not show the ad if the site is in https mode.

I applied the same thinking to php and this is what I came up with:

Code: [Select]

<?php
if  ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == 443) 
{ echo '';} 
else 
{
// Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Web site bottom
global $sourcedir;
include_once ($sourcedir . '/adseller.php');
$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(1000);
// Check if any ads where found
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
// Display the advertising code
echo $adSellerAdData;
}
// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Web site bottom
}
?>

Now the ad shows in regular mode and when the site switches to secure mode for transactions the ads disappear and hence the insecure content warnings.

I had to adopt this approach as putting my forum in secure mode all the time meant that Chrome simply blocked Adsense content as insecure and other browsers showed an insecure content warning all the time.
