Using a table backround image

[fragzilla]

Hello

I have my store mostly working correctly in secure and non-secure mode.

My problem is Im using a backround image in one of the tables on my mainpage.tpl. When you switch to secure mode, Non secure warning
comes up and my backround image is missing making the cart
content not visible. Do I need to set the full secure path for this image
on mainpage.tpl? where I placed the image?

Or is this a config setting?
All other "standard" images are fine even the flash banner
I added in the header shows in SSL just not my table backround


I dont have ssl enabled right now because of this error
but here is the site:

msaek : thanks again for this excellent work

Use below info when you link or getting your images from mainpage.tpl
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL'); ?></a>
<img src="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>images/your_image.gif" width="25" height="20">

good luck

ok on the above problem

In dremweaver I added another table to the mainpag.tpl and set a backround img. for it. (to achieve the look the client wanted)
So.....In ssl mode I get the non secure items warning.

Can i set up a class for that table in stylesheet.css define the image
and cure my ssl woes? This is the only img Im using outside osc standard.

other than a header img
(which is flash swf embeded with the https: link) correct????

that @!&# ssl lock is eluding me

Does this sound like it will fly?? ... anyone?

wlcmbeck: thanks for that info Ill try that first

Just use a relative link to the image and you will avoid this problem.

Intstead of putting a full url in the img src tag or in the stylesheet, just use a relative path.

example:

dont use : http://mysite.com/images/image.jpg

use : images/image.jpg

Ive tried a couple of different ways, but still got the warning in SSL

So I guess I need to find out which items are secure and which are not.

Is there a way to find out which items are non-secure?

So Im not chasing the wrong image

Thanks

after trying all of the "fixes" for SSL in the forums testing and then put it back to orig ive found that the cart
will not even carry contents over to ssl with yes or no on the secure items warning.
I dont quite understand what happened I have a plain - jane osCommerce
store on the same shared server and have no problems

BTW this works fine on the plain shop, contents carry over and orders complete in SSL mode no probs

my host had me change this

if (!isset($PHP_SELF)) $PHP_SELF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];

in application top.php to cure my original ssl conn problems with the
plain shop (my first osc shop). If this helps anyone

Now this shop I tried to add a few foo-fooey backround pics and
Blam it blew up on me.

unfortunately its a live store that I was rushed to put up and Im trying my best to get the @#$%! Lock to show up

Now it wont even remember your cart contents

I might go with a plain style cart in SSL mode (because I need a copy of the shop in the secure area)to stop all
these shenanigans
with secure and non secure items
eg.. table backround Images
