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, found ticket 11948, but still have questions/remarks
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.11
PHP version: 5.3.22
MySQL version: 5.5.14
Host: www.kensoor.nl
Admin Tools version: 2.5.11
Description of my issue:
Within Admin Tools I can list several IP addresses that may access the administrator part of Joomla. Problem I have is that the people that needs to have access have a dynamic IP.
I already saw ticket 11948 about this and your response. But I was wondering if you can't still enhance Admin Tools with this feature? What I did now is that I have a PHP file that keeps my .htaccess updated in the /administrator/ folder. This PHP file is added in a cron.
It would be nice to have such kind of a feature for DynDNS people. Could you reconsider building this in Admin Tools?
Example of the PHP file that updates my .htaccess:
