CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a Drupal installation (6.15) with CiviCRM (3.0) and multiple sites installed. Each site has one db for both Drupal and Civi. I want to allow each site to process secure online donations. We have a wildcard SSL installed, so this is easy when a site is in development (just https://subsite.domain.com) but I'm not sure how that would work when we have a site in production, since you can only have one SSL per IP/cPanel account. Is there a way to get Drupal/Civi to use a http://www.subsite.com URL usually AND a https://subsite.domain.com for CiviCRM contribution pages? I realize symlinks would be needed to get multiple domains to point to a multisite, but how could you get the site to switch from unique URL to secure subdomain and back?

Hope that makes sense! Any ideas are greatly appreciated...

Thank you for the feedback. So what is the recommended course of action for a developer setting up multiple sites that use CiviCRM to process contributions (preferably with Authorize.net)? Completely separate installs for each?

Thanks again.

I found a couple of options...

First, we have been able to setup our subdomain (https://subsite.domain.com) as the default domain for CiviCRM. Then, we applied a symlink to make Drupal work under the full URL (http://subsite.com). Then all we had to do was make the "Donate" link in the menu static, so it points to https://subsite.domain.com/civicrm/.... and donations process securely.

Also, while fishing around in the developer docs, I found this solution:

Not sure if it still works with 3.0, but seems like a straightforward patch.
