When I proceed from the Cart to the Checkout I get a certificate security warning.
Please see the screen shot below.
I am assuming it's because I haven't purchased a SSL certificate for my domain but I am not completely sure? Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
Is it my domain with the certificate problem or FoxyCart's since I am landing on their site when I get this error?
I appreciate your help!
Which store are you working on? You have to replace "mydomain" with your actual store sub domain you setup in your FoxyCart store settings. If you're using a sub domain, your site doesn't need an SSL certificate at all. Check this page out for more info (http://wiki.foxycart.com/docs:gettingstarted)
Also, in your templates, make sure you don't have any references to images hosted on your site. That's what the AutoMagicCache should take care of for you automatically (http://wiki.foxycart.com/docs:automagicache)
I hope that helps.
Sorry to bug ya... I'm going to bed now!
Cheers
What pieces are you hosting on your side? FoxyCart will cache any images, javascript, and CSS files, so you shouldn't need a secure connection on your own site.
Check that automagicache link that Luke posted above for a more clear explanation of what exactly we're doing. (It's my favorite part of the system.) If you feel like things aren't clear in any of the "getting started" type of documentation please feel free to edit.
Also, see this one: http://wiki.foxycart.com/docs:templates:checkout
Let us know how it goes and what wasn't clear so we can improve our docs
I just realized how the cache works last night (we finally went live)... that is the dope stuff.
That's just it... I think everything should be cached as per the Magicache. I upload my storeCheckout.html to my webserver and the cache it from within FoxyCart and hit Update Template. I look at the code and it appears to have cached/modified all the images, css, js, links correctly. However, when I test it live it prompts a security warning before displaying the Checkout page.
I am gonna look into it more tonight, I'm sure it's something simple that I am overlooking. I have a live version
here.Ha! That just put a big smile on my face.
It's the dope. Word.
Also, I think it'd be really neat to look into making some "Pepper" to actually track sales data (order values, etc.). Not sure it's possible, but it probably is, seeing as Mint (like FoxyCart) was really built from the ground up to be extended in one way or another.
