SSL certificate error in paypal Site with IE

[FrenchMaster]

Hello !

when using paypal module for payment, customer will be redirected to the secured (SSL) paypal-Site. Unfortunately, Paypal try also to load the logo of my shop, so that we get a mix of secured site (Paypal) and non secured site (my shop). consequently we get an error in IE "mix of secured and non secured site" and customers get in trouble...

can anyone help ?

I don't think this is the problem as I have the same issue and I have an SSL secured site. When I look at the source code from the paypal payment page I see that the image is being called from the correct https image. So it is something else.  Firefox works fine and processes it all correctly.

You're right. It seems to be an explorer problem. On another computer all ist OK. this has to be an explorer wrong configuration but which one ?

Did anyone find a workaround for this?

It also does not help that once you load an image for your store, you cannot just delete it, you MUST overwrite it, therefore, if I wanted to try a Paypal Checkout without Paypal loading any image, it would still look for whatever is uploaded.

I tried one of those SSL paypal hosting sites, but you can't use that either as the code dictates an upload off your own machine.

I'd love to find a way to either NOT have Paypal pull the Virtuemart component directory image, or for me to be able to indicate an SSL-site image.

That error is driving me crazy.

Great component though, perfect for my kids' new company. http://bluegravitysurf.com

Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level -> enable Display mixed content

Ahh, good, but how about this....

just remove this line from the Paypal configuration....

"cpp_header_image" => $vendor_image_url,

if I'm correct, this will tell Paypal not to look for an image on an insecure server. It will instead just put the name of the store in that spot.

Thanks Peter, love the work you do

unfortunately, removing the line of code does NOT work. have been looking for a fix for this since i started using VM.

I am using Virtuemart 1.1.2 with Joomla 1.5.7 and have a shared ssl available but prefer not to use it to avoide conflicts with 404sef. However, on redirect to paypal I was receieving the unsecure items warning. Applying a mod_rewrite to the image file from http to https worked for Firefox but failed to solve the problem in IE. I found that removing the entire line

Code Select Expand

"cpp_header_image" => $vendor_image_url, defaulted to the text version of the paypal account name, whilst editing to

Code Select Expand

"cpp_header_image" => "https://www.mysite.com/images/secure_image.gif", displays the secure image and resolves the issue.

Is this a Vista issue only, or does it also happen on XP? I've just upgraded one of my systems to Vista and have all sorts of issues with various sites loading in both IE and FF. The "auto-tuning" feature of Vista was the culprit for me.

Can you please direct me to the folder in which the "paypal configuration" file resides?

[aravot]

In the payment folder com_virtuemart/classes/payment

I dont see this in my code is that in administrators/components.../payment/ps_paypal, and ps_paypal.cfg.php dont have any tlak of vendor image please help. this makes clients weirrry!

if I follow the code from generation x, and add the absolute URL with HTTPS in the URL, do I actually have to have a cert as well as I wasn't sure from the post as to weather a cert was needed or if you could just put https in there.

This seems stupid, the point of using Paypal is to not need a cert, so now we need one because we can't have mixed sources accoding good old IE.

Could you host the image on a different SSL certifed server and put that absolute URL in for the header image ?

Cheers, Nick

OK, I uploaded a header image to SSLpic and then pasted the URL into the Payment Method Configuration CPP line as above and it worked perfectly ! Cheers
