Admin Tools 7.7.0 Stable

Released on: 2025-02-10 00:17 CST

What's new?

Notify about an increase in blocked requests. Getting burried under hundreds of email notifications about blocked requests isn't fun. Receiving just a few of them when a threshold is met saves you from that, but doesn't quite give you the full picture. How do you know when your site is under attack? Fear not, for Admin Tools can now email you when the number of blocked requests in a specific amount of time exceeds a certain threshold.

Notify when the Email on Blocked Request is enabled. Speaking of being burried under hundreds of email notifications, did you know that the option to send an email for each blocked request is only meant to be a troubleshooting aid and not a permanent solution? Well, now you can be notified when the Email on Blocked Request feature is enabled so you can remember to disable it when you're done troubleshooting.

admintools:temp:clear CLI command to clean the temporary directory. A new CLI command has been added to clean the contents of Joomla's temporary directory. This is useful if you want to clear the temporary directory manually, or periodically with a CRON job.

Make accurate PHP CLI path detection optional. Some commercial hosts, such as IONOS, seem to have a problem with the PHP CLI path detection code, causing a blank page and sometimes temporarily banning the user's IP address. This appears to be because this detection code needs to run the PHP-CLI code to identify the actual PHP version it runs. We have now added an option to disable this feature. Moreover, if this feature fails to execute it will automatically set the option to disable itself.

Better IP filtering, now supports IPv4-in-IPv6. Did you know that there is a way to express an IPv4 address as an IPv6 address? Well, neither did Admin Tools, which could be a problem in some rather exotic use cases. Now Admin Tools can handle IPv4-in-IPv6 addresses properly.
