If you have google-analytics java script on your site, it will give you the "Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" popup if you install an SSL certificate.

Since Google doesn't index SSL pages, here's a way to get PHP to ignore the code when in SSL mode, and you won't get the nonsecure items popup:

CODE

<?php
if ( $request_type != 'SSL' ) {
?>
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-xxxxxxx-x";
urchinTracker();
</script>
<?php
}
?>

Wrap the PHP code around your google-analytics script as shown above.

if you use new code of Google-analytics it will support the SSL - secure protocol.

If the code isn't inserted properly, it can cause the Java Script error:

_gat is not defined

I've seen that on some sites.

I Google'd that error, and it said to check for extra spaces in the code.

How would I make the following Statcounter code "SSL Safe"?
I really have no idea about Javascript

CODE

<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=34XXX4;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_partition=38;
var sc_security="12eXXXc7";
</script>

<script type="text/javascript"

src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter_xhtml.js"></script><noscript><div

class="statcounter"><a href="http://www.statcounter.com/free_invisible_web_tracker.html"

target="_blank"><img class="statcounter" src="http://c39.statcounter.com/34XXXX4/0/1XXX0c7/1/"

alt="free web tracker" ></a></div></noscript>

I believe that this code is in part responsibly for me "non-secure items" Messages.

Thank you! That works great, but:

Does that mean that I wont receive anymore Stats from the Pages that are requested in SSL?

True.

No more stats from SSL pages.

But you really have little choice, unless they upgrade the code to work in SSL mode.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but I've looked at your HTML source and I don't see Google Analytics anywhere.....

Which file do you put your code in ?

I have tried in several places and although it tracks stats it never appears in between the body tags which is where I am it SHOULD go ?
