Postcode Anywhere SSL problem

[skinnybloke]

Using v9.0.2

I am trying to use the Postcode Anywhere plug-in on my checkout pages. I am using SSL on my checkout pages and IE7 keeps giving the message

This page contains both secure and non-secure items - do you want to display the non-secure items

Looking at the code for the "DeliveryAddressLookup" shows it is using http and not https

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT SRC="http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/popups/javascript.aspx?account_code=<actinic:variable name="ALPAccountCode" />&license_key=<actinic:variable name="ALPDeliveryLookupLicense"/>"></SCRIPT>

I used the express method for setting this up in actinic.

My client set the postcode Anywhere side of this up - does anybody know if the scripts would have asked him if he was using SSL or not?

You just need to change

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT SRC="http://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/popups/javascript.aspx?account_code=<actinic:variable name="ALPAccountCode" />&license_key=<actinic:variable name="ALPDeliveryLookupLicense"/>"></SCRIPT>

to

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT SRC="https://services.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/popups/javascript.aspx?account_code=<actinic:variable name="ALPAccountCode" />&license_key=<actinic:variable name="ALPDeliveryLookupLicense"/>"></SCRIPT>

I believe.

Hi Jan - thanks for the reply.

I know how to manually change this but I cant understand why this is not automatic - actinic software knows if you are using SSL in the checkout - another issue for the non teccy purchasers to struggle with.

Sounds like you need to report a bug to Actinic then.

This is what threw me in your question :

My client set the postcode Anywhere side of this up - does anybody know if the scripts would have asked him if he was using SSL or not?

The script is not created by postcode anywhere, it's part of the Actinic design, if you are manually adding the postcode anywhere code to Actinic then you can generate either an SSL or non SSL script for inclusion as part of the setup process but then you have to manually insert it into your page.

I've reported this as a bug and it will be fixed in a future maintenance version. In the short-term though, the solution is to change the reference as found in this thread.

A bit weird this - I received an email from this thread saying:

Can someone tell me exactly where the code snippet mentioned above is, so I can change it to the https version?

but the item does not appear to be here.

You can find this code in 2 templates named "PCAInvoiceLookup" and PCADeliveryLookup" under Design > Design Library > Layouts > Address Lookup

Somebody must of asked then deleted their post Thankfully this has been fixed in 9.0.3.

[skinnybloke]

Are you sure this is fixed in v9.0.3

I am in the process of doing a new 9.0.3 site at them moment and I hjave had to hard code this in to prevent an error message being displayed.

I just started a new play-about just the other day and it seems to work fine, no issues with IE or FF, with SSL enabled.

Just checked the Checkout Page 1 and 2, and the URL's are set to https - though they remain https when I disable SSL in Business Settings. Hmm.

I swear I didn't change it, or has this become such a laborious task that I can't even remember doing it?
