Description of my issue:

Hello Nicholas,

A question regarding Bad Behaviour Features - hoping that you can put my mind at ease in case I have misunderstood something.

Just installed the latest version of AdminTools (v2.5.3).

In the changelog for this version it is stated: Removed Features --> Removed Bad Behavior Integration.

I have gone into Web Application Firewall --> Configure WAF and Bad Behaviour Integration is still there.

Is this anything for me to be concerned about ?

Or have I misunderstood something ? (Quite possible - I am easily confused !)

As an aside: you have some great tools - love them !

Regards,

Tim

Hello Tim,

The bad Behavior integration has indeed been removed. If you are still seeing this feature, I would suppose that are set upgrade has occurred. In this case the easiest solution is to reinstall the component, without uninstalling it first. Please note that the Configure WAF option is still there. That is the page where you can configure all of the security features of the component. It is not going to be removed :-)

Thank you very much for your kind words!

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Ok - please bear with me - so, to reinstall without uninstalling first - I should now do this via the joomla installer (?): Extensions --> Extension Manager -->Install (find on my local pc) - the update I did originally was via the AdminTools "update found click to install" button.

Regards,

Tim.

Hello Tim,

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Go to Extensions, Extension Manager, browse to the ZIP package of Admin Tools Professional on your computer, then click on Install.

Hi Nicholas,

Further to the above:

I Reinstalled via the Joomla installer (without uninstalling first: no change, Bad Behaviour still appears in the Configure WAF.

Reinstalled again a second time (without uninstalling first), and Bad Behaviour is still there.

Advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Tim.

Hello Tim,

You're right. Even though the integration has been removed, the interface was not updated. No matter if you modify the settings, they will have no effect to your site. I am going to fix this for the next release. Thank you very much for the heads up!
