Dear Nichola,
I must admit that buying admin tools is money well-spent!
I don't have any problems that I could not solve through your guide.
I want to say thanks and ask you one question for which I think I already know the answer (no).
Is there a way to manage admin tools for multiple websites?
Make one change and have its effects in let's say 5 websites?
That would be really good.
Have a nice time presenting software in Joomla!Days ;-)

Hello George,

Unfortunately this is not possible. You'll have to copy data between the tables of different sites. I thought about an export / import feature but it has too many pitfalls to be practical :(

That's a pity...
I also have another little question which I just remembered.
I saw that on the new version of admin tools you stopped treating Geo Block as a security exception.
I liked the fact that I got an e-mail every time someone from a specific country visited my website. Could you tell me how to re-enable that feature in latest version of admin tools?
Regards!

Hi George,

This is currently disabled in the code. You cannot re-enable it.

Ok then...
One more question (I just have enabled admin tools in a number of websites, so questions pop-up - sorry about that)
I have enabled a bunch of security measures that admin tools offer.
One of them blocked the following IP for the reason displayed:

We would like to notify you that a security exception was detected on your site,

IP Address: 66.249.73.156 (IP Lookup: http://ip-lookup.net/index.php?ip=66.249.73.156)
Reason: template= in URL

This happened to many of my websites and when I clicked to get the IP Lookup I got this host:
crawl-66-249-73-156.googlebot.com

I think I would like googlebot.com to visit my websites and not get blocked.
What should I do about that?

Sorry, it was:
Reason: tmpl= in URL

Look in the documentation page for "Block tmpl=foo system template switch" and "List of allowed tmpl= keywords" for more information.
