SSL problem - Chrome shows red "X"

Hello all. Was hoping someone might be able to shed a little light on my problem. Also, please excuse my lack of knowledge and if I use any terms incorrectly.

Website at http://www.homemoviepreservation.com and using version 1.4.8b

I just recently noticed while using the Chrome browser that any page that uses https:// has the little red "X" over the lock icon and has a message that says "this page includes resources that are not secure".

I did some looking around on the forums here and came to the conclusion that the problem is the site having some links to "http://" instead of "https://".

Can anyone tell me if that is the problem? Also, if that is indeed the problem, which files would I edit to change the "http://" to "https://"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

That's correct, more or less - though it's content, rather than just links, that will trigger a warning (eg an image, or script).

The problem here seems to be the addthis script, which is in the header:
- the script is 'unsecured', as it's coming from http: //s7.addthis.com.

Solving it may be tricky - or quite simple. Ideas that may work:

1. Move the addthis button code from the header to somewhere within the product.tpl - then it will only appear on the product pages, not in the checkout pages (this is what I do)

2. Here's what addthis suggest you do:

In the code of the widget replace:

http://s7.addthis.com or http://s5.addthis.com
with:

https://s7.addthis.com/
That's it. All features will continue to work the same.

But Opencart pages are loaded dynamically - if you change the code to https: , it will load addthis over SSL on every single page, not just the secure ones. I think this might slow down your pages - but you could try it.

3. Something to try: remove the http: from the addthis widget script altogether. See if it still works, and if it gets rid of the error.

Backup first, as always

HI,
