Frustrated with Comodo Cornertrust Logo

« on: May 10, 2008, 05:02:32 PM »

I've wasted hours on this, so I'm finally handing it over to someone who knows what they're doing. I had my cornertrust logo working before, but when I reinstalled it on my new Joomla 1.5.3 installation template index.php (hotlinks disabled) it no longer shows up anymore.

I followed the instructions and inserted the two sections of javascript before </head> and </body> with cut and paste. I've tried using http and https in the section before the /body tag. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I see a couple of strange things. In the document.writeln line, you have

...src="/'+cot_loc0+'" type="text\/javascript">' + '<\/scr'...

Why is there a slash before the URL (end result ...src="/https://secure...)? And I'm not sure you need an escape before the slash in the type and end script tag. Try

...src="'+cot_loc0+'" type="text/javascript">' + '</scr'...

Maybe try dropping the first / and testing, before dropping the two \s.

Anyway, it appears that the idea is to insert <script language="JavaScript" src="https://secure.blahblah" type="text/javascript" > into the page, based on whether the current page is accessed with http: or https:. This script hopefully gets run at some point to do something about your logo.

When you say "hotlinks disabled", do you mean that hotlink protection is disabled, or that hotlinking itself is disabled? If the latter, make sure that both http: and https: versions of your domain are in the allowed (exceptions) list in .htaccess.

This is the exact code from Comodo that I cut and pasted into my Joomla 1.5 template index.php. As you point out, something is changing it during execution. Oh, and I meant hotlink protection is disabled. Sorry for the confusion there.

Code:

and

Code:

<a href="http://www.instantssl.com" id="comodoTL">SSL</a>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
COT("http://www.rapunzl.com/cornertrust.gif", "SC2", "none");
</script>

</body>

This is the source code after execution.

Code:

//<![CDATA[
var cot_loc0=(window.location.protocol == "https:")? "https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/cot.js" :
"http://www.trustlogo.com/trustlogo/javascript/cot.js";
document.writeln('<scr' + 'ipt language="JavaScript" src="/'+cot_loc0+'" type="text\/javascript">' + '<\/scr' + 'ipt>');
//]]>
</script>

</head>

Code:

<a href="http://www.instantssl.com" id="comodoTL">SSL</a>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
COT("http://www.rapunzl.com/cornertrust.gif", "SC2", "none");
</script>

</body>

Another note: I'm getting a COT is undefined error.

Interesting. So you're entering ...src="'+cot... and what's showing up is ...src="/'+cot...? Double check that (without the extra /) is what you saved in the file and check what is actually in your file on the server (cPanel > File Manager > Display file contents). You need to find when that extra slash is coming in, as I'm sure it will severely bollix everything. As for the escaped slashes (\/), I don't think the escape (\) is necessary, but it probably doesn't hurt. (Any JS mavens out there know if / within single-quoted strings gets treated as a division?)

The undefined COT is probably a consequence of the Javascript file (cot.js) not being included due to the error above. Fix that problem first.
