[geeklog-users] ssl for admin functions

[Tony Bibbs]

Assuming you are using a fairly recent version of PHP you could do this 
in lib-common.php *after* the include of config.php:

if (stristr($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"],'https')) {
     $_CONF['site_url'] = 'https://mydomain';
} else {
     $_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://mydomain';
}

This assumes that your admins login using some page that is SSL'd and 
from that point on the snippet above should keep them in SSL.
