Joomla 1.5.26 — com_admintools-2.2.5-pro

I install a component “Weever” that permit to use Joomla content and format it for IPHONE - IPad - Android -

You can see the Iphone apps directly in Safari at http://weeverapp.com/app/www.grafcomm.ca —
If you click the button “Pages”you can see some article pull from joomla.
I can see them perfectly in Canada —

The dev Andrew J. Holden of Weever situated in Oregon US seem to have problem opening those article.

Yes, I have the Geoblock on, but North America and Europe open, Canada, United States and France open — All others are block

The discussion with Andrew from Weever is here:

GeoBlock, as I've written in the docs, is not 100% accurate. It is only 95-99% accurate, according to the makers of the GeoIP database. Remember when I said that I consider GeoBlock a bad idea to start with (a few months and several tickets ago)? That's why. Please disable GeoBlock.

I turn it off momentary to let the people at Weever check if it work

This is not a Geoblock issue....

Ok the problem with their apps show up In the Security Exception Logs
(The first place I should look in...)

Reason: template= in URL

The links look like this (I change some numbers in there to make non-valid)
http://www.mydomain/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&_dc=22222222222&template=weever_cartographer&showall=1&geotag=false&limit=100&callback=joom1002


I try Allow Site template = Yes (didn’t work)

Since they are using an inexistent template, you have to completely disable the template= protection feature of Admin Tools for Weever Apps to work.

Is this “Dangerous” for my site


Andrew J. Holden from the Weever project
Thanks Patrick, please send Nicholas along my thanks as well.  I'm not sure if there's any way for Akeeba to 'whitelist' Weever; but we'd be happy to coordinate with him, contribute code, etc, if there is.

Not at all. That setting is more of a "paranoia level" setting rather than essential protection.

Well I think I suffer a litlbit from that....

My new settings

Block tp=1 module debugging —> NO
Block tmpl=foo system template switch —> NO
List of allowed tmpl= keywords —> Component
Block template=foo site template switch —> NO
Allow site templates —> YES

I turn everything off as I don’t now exactly the one that block Weever... What setting you think is responsible in those?

Asking Weever to check...

Sorry to keep you on that....

What does the Security Exceptions Log in Admin Tools say? That's where you have to start.

My wild guess will be that if the Reason is template= in URL

it will be the template=foo site template switchthat are the culprit...



Confirmed that Weever is working now — Cool

Thanks for your patience — I turned that to the Weever teem...

Yes, that's correct. I was under the impression that you had disabled that and it didn't work. Well, if it works, that's exactly what it was :)
