 Hi,

I'm using the Administrator secret URL parameter and it works fine. But now after working in the backend for a while, some backend menu items are redirected to the homepage as well. I can't reach them any more. What can I do to reach those pages again.

kind regards,
Jeroen Egbertzen

Jeroen,

That is very strange. It does not sound like something that the secret URL parameter would do. Please temporarily disable the System - Admin Tools plugin and see if you still have the issue.

I found what it was. If the session is ended at a certain page, when I want to continue the page reloads from that page, without the secret url. When I login properly again it works but on that specific page I am redirected to home as of a caching issue, it seems. I cleared my browser cache and it worked again. The pages where the session was expired were also in the exception log.
I guess this could be an improvement for the system?

Kind regards
Jeroen

Once you have logged in with the secret parameter it sets a cookie that will allow you back in for that browser session. I thought about an expired session but I thought you would get a 403 error, not redirected to home.

You can extend the session timeout under Joomla!'s Global Configuration page, but that will only reduce the problem, not solve it. At some point, the session will expire and then you are no longer authorized at the Joomla! level. Admin Tools can not change that.
