 Hallo,
I have just installed Admin Tools. My image extension Ari Sexy Lightbox stopped working. I tried to solve it by troubleshooter. I put to WAF Exceptions link to the .js file, what I detected in Chrome, refresh .htaccess, but still the same problem, images not working.
I dont know, if I am puting link correctly, without slash on begining, or with... /media/jui/js/jquery-migrate.min.js

In the plugin settings I have loaded jQuery method Google CDN, version 1.8.2.

Here is my website http://www.vratislavhorcik.cz/index.php/dtp-grafika


thank you

Your plugin is storing files in the cache folder. That is a bad thing, contrary to Joomla!'s best practicies.

You will need to loosen your security to allow this in .htaccess Maker. In the "Frontend directories where file type exceptions are allowed" field, add cache to a new line and re-generate your .htaccess file. That should fix the problem.

Yes! It is working now. Thank you very much!
So you think that this plugin is not safe? It would be better to use something else?

I am not a developer so this question is a little outside my area. It is my understanding that these static resources should be served from the media folder, not from cache. We had to loosen the security on the cache folder a little bit to get this to work. I would classify that as "room for improvement" rather than "unsafe".
