Hi,

First of all - Sorry, my english is very bad.

I am reading your documentation, and I have two simple questions:

First:

Quote: "However, if you have installed more system plugins make sure that plg_admintools is published before all other system plugins. If not, the protection offered will not be thorough."

I enabled plg_admintools, and I set Ordering: 0 Order First.

But, in Plug-in Manager, when I sort by ordering - it is not first. If I sort by any column, plg_admintools is never first. Can you explain me by which column I should sort, and how to set (publish) plg_admintools before all other system plugins? 

 

Second:

My site is not high-traffic, it does not have several dozen of thousands of visitors per day, and also no external sites will be performing POST requests to my site - So, I enabled CSRF/Anti-spam form protection (CSRFShield) and set it to Advanced.

I plan to use some of forms-extensions, such as RSform extension. Will this CSRFShield work on RSforms?

 

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Filip

1. Sort by Ordering. If the Admin Tools plugin is not first, or any other plugin has the same ordering number, give the Admin Tools plugin a negative ordering number, e.g. -30000.

2. That's a good question! I expect it to work with RSForms. If you are unsure, please test it. If submitting the form doesn't work, disable the CSRFShield feature from Admin Tools.

Hi nicholas,

Now Admin tools is the only one with negative ordering number: -9999

Also, there is no other plugin with negative number, only Admin Tools plugin (-9999), and there is no "Move up" arrow on System - Admin Tools plugin in Plug-in Manager.

But, when I sort by ordering, in both cases (asc & desc) - System - Admin Tools plugin is not the first?

If you order the plugins list by ordering it should appear first.

Ah, now I see - I clicked on Ordering (to sort by this column), but I did not select type. When I select type "system" - than it is first.

I apologize.

Sorry!

Thank you Nicholas!

Best regards

Filip
