Securing your zed E-Commerce Web Site
Thursday, December 10, 2009 by AdministratorSeveral customers have requested the ability to make the whole zed e-commerce site secure. Currently the only built-in capability to do this focuses on specific aspects of the site such as checking out or logging in using webflow functionality.
The following plugin will accomplish this task by checking if the current page is secure and if not, redirect to the secure page. The advantage of using a plugin to do this is it can be theme specific so ThemeA can force a secure connection but ThemeB can remain non-secure.
To install, copy the plugin to the plugins folder and modify the theme to include the plugin in a new slot. The plugin does not display any HTML so the design should not be affected.
Before installing the plugin, test that the site will work under ssl. Access the site by manually typing https:// as the url and if the site loads properly then the site should be properly configured.
Potential Issues: If the ssl certificate isn't properly installed all secure requests to the page could fail and with this plugin running it won't be possible to get back to the theme to disable it. If this (or any problems) occur, navigate to the plugins folder and simply delete or rename the plugin. This will allow you to navigate the site insecurely again.
