Use SSL on submit module

It should work out of the box with ssl, but I can confirm the following error in the backend:

Error: 500 JHtml cobalt not found

As an alternative, you could create a button using a submit menu link and a custom html module.

I created buttons with custom-html mod's for the section homepage but I have 12 sections with 8 types per sections that would be 96 modules I think that would be a bit resource intensive. the way it is right now I have to use ssl on the entire site just to cover article submission and that slows down site performance.

You want to turn global SSL off, but need SSL on the links inside the Cobalt module?
And you don't have single Cobalt submission MenuItems, right? Not sure if the latter has any inpact on the module's links and SSL...

Maybe the SSL Redirect plugin by Yireo can help with the Module links?

(register to download, or get it from GitHub repository)

Cobalt submit module generate link through Joomla JRoute class. It should acept global configuration. In fact it is a relative link like href="/menu-item/submit/bla-bla". So link have to use your current HTTP transport.
