Thawte seal

[paul]

I note the Thawte seal in the checkout links to www.thawte.com (http://www.thawte.com). Is it possible to link it to a page verifying the site as owning a secure certificate or is this not an option with thawte/other ssl providers.

I ask as anyone could presumably add a gif image with a link to thawte without actually having a valid cert.

Thanks.

Dear Paul,

When you click on the Thawte seal, not only does it link to Thawte, but it also validates the seal visibly to the customer that has clicked on it.

Of course, this does not stop the potential of someone adding a 'rogue' gif to their site, however, one thing is sure, it won't validate. Buyer beware.

Thanks for posting. I think it's my cert which is not installed correctly.

I've replied by email, but the site seal code is as follows:


<script src="https://siteseal.thawte.com/cgi/server/thawte_seal_generator.exe"></script>

This is installed with all new certificates.

thanks for this. i must have overwritten the code.

<script src="https://siteseal.thawte.com/cgi/server/thawte_seal_generator.exe"></script>
Hi, i understand the above script links to the thawte seal confirmation. This is used for the padlock image seal in the checkout.

Does anyone have the code to generate the same padlock image with link which appears in the checkout on the front page? I've looked in the site/configuration/payment in admin but it only has the code above and not the image link as well.

Cheers.

Hi Paul,

The code above is what you need to use to display the thawte certificate. Just paste the code where you want it to display. If you use the security block on your site this is usually a good place to put it

Thanks, Dave. I had incorrectly assumed that the code needed to call an image but i guess thats all done by the '.exe' in the script.

[Dave]

Yep thats correct
