 Hello

I came across the Little Helper extension in the JED. There are some neat features in it I could use. It also makes changes to the htaccess file and applies other security features.
Do you have any experience with Little helper and Admin Tool Pro on the same system? Do they still work or do they interfer with earch other?

Thanks

Roger

Roger,

I can start out with some good news, I've never heard of Little Helper. While it is a relatively young extension, I do not recall any support tickets or discussions about it causing problems with Admin Tools.

That said, the two will almost certainly trip over one another when modifying the .htaccess file. Admin Tools backs up the existing file and replaces it completely with a file generated from the options entered on the .htaccess Maker configuration screen. So if you use Little Helper first, Admin Tools will wipe out those changes. You may be able to use Little Helper last, if it adds lines to the .htaccess file instead of replacing it.

You should keep a copy of Joomla!'s standard .htaccess file handy to fall back on in case the two of them create a combination that doesn't work. If you need to disable Admin Tools' Web Application Firewall, the instructions are here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html.

I will keep that in mind and check it every time I do something on it, to make sure the htaccess from Admin tool wasn't overwritten.

Thanks for your response.

Roger

You are welcome!
