SSL forms question

[michatmaster7]

If you need to be PCI compliant, you'll need to edit one other place. I'm too lazy to look for my thread, so here's a copy/paste from my own files:

QUESTION:
In the source code of the FormTools Admin portal login page, is there anyway I can get the action URL to be absolute? I need to call it out using a secure protocol to maintain PCI Compliance.

ANSWER:
The only way to get it to show a hardcoded URL would be to edit this file:
[form tools root]/themes/default/index.tpl

And manually change the action from {$samepage} to your URL.

BEFORE: action="{$same_page}{$query_params}"

AFTER: action="https://www.yourdomain.com/formtoolspath/index.php{$query_params}"

Of course, be sure to change the URL to your URL and be sure that the "formtoolspath" above gets replaced with whatever folder you have formtools in, (it's /formtools/ by default).
