Default Re: Ecommerce shows unsecured items

in a secure directory (depending on how your server is configured).

For example, if you are calling a 'footer template' from your unsecure area of the site,
it would be flagged by the server as an 'unsecure' item on the page. Usually the script
running the cart has secure/unsecure access, as long as you specify in your settings you are
running a secure cart and provide the secure url to the cart.

No, NOT everything. For example, a link to the HOME page doesn't need to be pointed to the page in the digital certificate.

Visit 99% of the ecommerce websites and get into the secure environment and the links to the other pages will be unsecure, yet no errors will pop up. Why? because only items that are "included" need to be secure, like images, external script files, css files and flash files.
