Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.9
PHP version: 5.3.22

Host: Louhi Networks
Admin Tools version: 2.5.3

Description of my issue:

The site has Zootemplate ZT Kru modified as a template. The template uses ZO2 framework which includes a slider on the frontpage. This slider calls images like this:

/modules/mod_zt_headline/timthumb.php?src=http://www.savonseta.fi/images/zt_kru/images/...

this of course does not passthru the common file injection block in Admin Tools. Can I write a custom htaccess rule to allow this as an exception to rule and enable the common file injections block? How would I go about doing that?

MAJOR DANGER! The TimThumb library has been proven to be extremely insecure. Please ask your extension provider to NOT use it.

If you really want to commit suicide security-wise and have your site hacked, you can do two things:

  • Add modules/mod_zt_headline/timthumb.php to the list of files where direct access is allowed (in .htaccess Maker)
  • Disable the protection from direct file inclusion in the .htaccess Maker

Do note that by doing so you're greatly increasing your chances of being hacked.
