magento https links - magento

Magento has in built functionality to use https for my account pages , login page and checkout pages. However, we're finding that only the images and script links are dynamically changing to https. All the page links are not changing in these secure area and have http links instead. We are using Magento 1.7
We're looking for a possible answer or some actual help here and are willing to pay for it.
Any suggestions?

Sitemap to use HTTPS - Magento

I am currently experiencing some problems with my Google search implementation due to a recent change to HSTS for my entire shop.
How can I create a Google sitmeap in Magento which uses the 'https://' links instead of 'http://' ?
I have already deleted my sitemap and generated a new one. It still suses http:// links.
In Google search console I see that only 8 of my 45 sites have been indexed so far..
Appreciate your help!
The sitemap links are generated using the {{unsecure_base_url}}. Make sure you change this value from http://yoursite.com to https://yoursite.com found at System->Configuration->Web Unsecure Base URL. Also, make sure both Use Secure URLs in Frontend and Backend options are set to "Yes".

Magento translation and url key

I have a Magento website with some pages linked to main navigation.
For example, in my default view (Italian) I have www.example.com/italian-url-key
Then I created another page for English view with url www.example.com/english-url-key
So, when I am on the italian version of the page and try to switch to english version, this is the url that magento generate: http://www.example.com/italian-url-key/?___store=english&store=&___from_store=default and on click it gives me 404 page.
How can I fix it? I need that this 2 pages should be linked, also if url key is different.
Many thanks!
Out of the box Magento does not support URL Translation, both pages need the same URL key. Check instructions from the Magento Docs on how to translate CMS pages.
To translate a CMS page, you must create a new page that has the same
URL Key as the original, but assigned to the specific store view.
So you will either have to stick to one languages for your URLs or develop/acquire a module to do this for you. The magento-language-roots or CMSRewrites modules both look like they will achieve this for you.
You may also want to consider adding Hreflang tags to your head.phtml as you have a multi-lingual site.

How to forward all the 404 pages to the front page?

I have a simple question...I had an old store and people bookmarked specific product pages in their browsers as well as Google search points to some specific pages. I have now installed a new version of Magento (1.9.1) and some of these URLs will not longer work (they will show the standard 404 not found Magento page).
What would be the best way to forward all these hits to the front page?
Thank you for any suggestions!

Login to the admin, go to System>Configuration>Web and change the drop-down value for CMS No Route Page in the Default Pages section. You should be able to select your CMS Home Page.

If manual setting doesnt help,you can try this.

Magento SSL links not given out from Magento functions

Im having an issue with SSL links in Magento.
I have SSL setup and working...all usual settings.
When i view the source of a page, i can still see HTTP links...and this is invalidating the SSL.
The urls in question (relating to currnecy, store switcher, navigation) are all given out by Magento functions. Such as:
getCategoryUrl();
getSwitchCurrencyUrl();
Does anyone know what may be wrong...is their something i may have missed?
Need any more info, pls let me know...
thanks
Shaun
This is a good thing in the fact that it 'help' prevent search engine from seeing links to your catalog and product page as also been https (causing duplicate content). Also to my knowledge, only if you have resources (images, css, js) it will affect (invalidate) your ssl (because of browser cookies). If you view source on a page with ssl magento will automatically convert those resources to https

Integrating my web application with Magento

I have created a web application in PHP, Ajax, HTML5. It is ready and working perfectly. Now I want to integrate it with magento. In the application, when user clicks buy now an image is saved in a folder on the server.
I have just started using magento. There are two ways in my mind to implement the functionality,
Navigate the user from magento products page to my application page and when user clicks buy now button on my page it will be the add to cart functionality at the back end. And i will send the image name that is randomly generated and append it into the comments of product that admin can see.
Make my app a magento custom plugin. Add my HTML, css, js, php files within magento and use my app as an internal magento application.
So, i need suggestions, comments, ideas or anything that can help me.
As I have just started with magento and I don't have any experience with e-commerce. So, my question might be showing in experience.
Try to learn Magento API it can be integrated with all your apps.
