TOPIC: SSL on DTDonate Component

I have SSL setup and working correctly on my site with VirtueMart. However, I cannot find instructions on how to apply the SSL to DTDonate. Also I cannot hardcode an https link because once i publish it reverts to http. Please advise

Hi, I just set this up and it works on mine. Joomla 1.0.15 and most recent dt register & donate versions.

I hardcode the menu link to https:// and it uses https for dtregister functions. Then you put some code in the index.php file of your template to tell it to revert back to http when leaving that component.

You can add/change components needing this, you will notice i have my chonocontact component set up this way as well (for forms).


disclaimer: I am not a programmer!! I was able to set this up on my site and it seems to work fine. I found the code in another post here on this forum.

Hope this helps... but if you can\'t get it to recognize your https in the first place, this might not be what you need.

you totally rock, i will try to the code to un ssl, but i was able to hardcore the https, it was an issue with the editor. Thanks a lot for your help...any idea if ur code works on 1.56? I\'ll test it later on and let you know.
thanks again

We have DT Donate setup on our Joomla 1.5.6 site and we have successfully added SSL support.

All we did was purchase a SSL through our web host (or another accepted third party would work), applied it to our domain, and then when I created the menu link to the DT Donate component I selected the option to have \"SSL Enabled\" set to \"On\" under the Parameters (System) section.

Thanks for the reply, I havent upgraded to the latest version because we had the DT Donate customized to remove user having to select # of recurring/end date...hopefully the new releases have taken care of the issues we need customization on, but havent checked it out because i think they were to have a new release this month..,
anyhoo thanks for the reply
