Https / Secure URL for Magento Links

Creating an secure link in Magento is pretty easy. You can use getUrl() function instead of using hardcoded https link. To do so, you need to insert one paramater in your getUrl() function to make your link an secure one. See Examples below.

Creating a link to onestepcheckout page

To get the URL in Magento Controller in http

<a href="<?php echo Mage::getUrl('onestepcheckout/’) ?>"></a>Checkout

This will produce a url like http://www.example.com/onestepcheckout/

Now you want to redirect to the secure version. Easy.
For mage core

<a href="<?php echo Mage::getUrl('onestepcheckout/, array('_secure'=>true)) ?>"></a>Checkout 

For phtml File you can do this:

<a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('onestepcheckout/, array('_secure'=>true)) ?>"></a>Checkout 

For Static Block

<a href="{{base url=’ 'onestepcheckout/’,array(‘_secure’ =>true)}}</a>Checkout

You can check to make sure that the URL should be secure by using the Mage::getSecure() function, which returns a boolean value. load it via Mage::getModel('core/url')->getSecure();

Hi,

I hope you can help me.

I have the following code whch end in HTTP, but I need it in HTTPS:

return Mage::getUrl('media') . 'paymentlogo/' . $logo;

Gives: http://www.peta.cl/media/paymentlogo/default/mp10_1.gif


I try using many options from your example to get the HTTPS, but none of them worked for me:

return Mage::getUrl('media', array('secure'=>true)) . 'paymentlogo/' . $logo;
Gives [Wrong]: http://www.peta.cl/media/index/index/secure/1/paymentlogo/default/mp10_1.gif

return Mage::getUrl('media' . 'paymentlogo/' . $logo, array('_secure'=>true));
Gives [Wrong]: https://www.peta.cl/mediapaymentlogo/default/mp10_1.gif/

return Mage::getUrl('media' . '/' . 'paymentlogo/' . $logo, array('_secure'=>true));
Gives [Error]: https://www.peta.cl/media/paymentlogo/default/

Any idea ??

Appreciate your help from Chile !

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

Try using:

Mage::getUrl('', array('secure'=>true)) . 'media/paymentlogo/' . $logo;


Let me know if it works?
