short-links and links logging-out issues

[JSteiner]

Hello, This is my first post here. I've been using Miva Merchant 5.5 for a couple months now. Here is the site I'm working on: Buckboard Too.

I want to use short links so I can have "buckboardtoo.com" as the domain site-wide rather than "buckboardtoo.mivamerchant..." and for SEO purposes, but after I changed all my hard-coded links to short versions, various links seem to log customers out forcing them to login again every time they follow a link.

Is there a way to pass the login/cookie/sessionid/token or whatever with short-links? I have toolkit and I've read that it can do short links too but the instructions make no sense to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

James

You need to talk to your host about how your secure connections (SSL) is being handled - I think you may need some different info about how some of your links need coded that should be secure when clicked. Start there and see what they tell you.

That may solve all of your other issues.

When I start through the checkout process, there are two session ids in the url (Session_ID=0bf2ca7499a9e30c67eba30d806f36ff&Check out_Session_ID=d4b520acef6b807ba49e8bf6c6312130&). ..I don't think I've seen that happen before....

I am also not seeing an SSL come into play through the checkout, including the Payment Information page. I stopped there, since it wasn't secure.

Hey James,

Thinking about this a little more, but maybe you need to code your links with:

&mvt:global:secure_sessionurl;

Also, if you are using a CSSUI store, you can use the following:

<mvt:item name="cssui_links" param="screen:SCREEN-CODE">SCREEN NAME</mvt:item>
<mvt:item name="cssui_links" param="product:PRODUCT-CODE">PRODUCT NAME</mvt:item>
<mvt:item name="cssui_links" param="category:CATEGORY-CODE">CATEGORY NAME</mvt:item>

I'm not sure that will clear up your other problems though.

James,

Your Site Configuration was never updated to point to 'buckboardtoo.com'. I just did that for you so you will not see it change to buckboardtoo.mivamerchant.net. If you can contact us off the forums we can get the SSL cert taken care of.
