Problem SSL securing forms

dem0072 18 May, 2012
Im working on a membership form for a museum and because its using the authorize.net plugin I wanted to secure the form via SSL. The SSL certificate has been installed to the hosting account/domain and I'm trying to figure out the best way to secure the form. I've tried directly ticking "System Properties - SSL = On" for an article containing the {chronoforms} loading tags. I've also tried a 3rd party SSL plugin to secure the component "Chronoforms" and even the menu link associated with the form. When using the 3rd party plugin the page simply stops working, complaining about the redirection stating that with the current configuration the redirect won't work.

However, another component for a donations form works with the SSL just fine.

None of those methods have been successful, I'm working on an older Joomla 1.5 site.

Hi dem0072 ,

As far as I know ChronoForms will pick up the https/http from the calling URL so provided that the form is called with an SSL link it will use SSL URLs throughout - there may be some exceptions with included files or images but I think most of those have been fixed now.

Cool thanks. The plugin we were using for SSL redirection was actually flawed, and we had a coder redo part of it.🙂
