I run my site with SSL encryption on the shopping cart pages and I have updated my ad_network.php file. When a customer comes to a https page he gets a warning like "this page contains both secure and insecure elements". This obviously is due to the new php code in the footer: <?php ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../'); include ('ad_network_214.php'); echo $ad_network; ?> I tryed to change the include path into 'https:// mysite.com/ad_network_214.php' but it did not work out. Anybody has a solution? Edit: Wrong category, sorry. Feel free to move this thread to "Setup / Validation Help".
When I set the full path to the ad_network_ads_215.txt file in the ad_network.php file, I get "You must set the ad network .txt file to be writable". I tryed it this way: $ad_file = 'https://www.watchband.de/ad_network_ads_215.txt';
I don't think there would be a way for you to run them on that site since the ad server does not support SSL.
So don't you think the Coop members should have the option to stick to the old php version - since this one worked fine?
Does google index https pages? I don't think so, but you might test. If it doesn't, then you could take the code off your secure pages and just keep them on your regular pages. If google doesn't have your secure shopping cart indexed, then you aren't getting weight from them anyway. And if I'm right and google doesn't have your secure pages indexed, there should not be a validation problem. .
Thank you Christopher, you're right! My SSL secured pages are not indexed. So I removed the ads from these pages and revalidaded my account successfully. Also, my weight has not changed.
