Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? No
Have I searched the forum before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? No
Joomla! version: 1.7.2
PHP version: 5.3.8
MySQL version: 5.1.56
Host: Rochen
Admin Tools version: 2.1.10


Description of my issue:
I use Admin Tools Pro, with many of the RocketTheme products, including the MissionControl Administrator Template and RokGallery 2.3.

My request is to have some exceptions included as defaults in the next release of Admin Tools Pro;

Within the HTACCESS Maker, under Server Protection;
* the exceptions "Allow direct access, except .php files, to these directories" -- can this please have the following defaults added;
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
media/rokgallery
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

* the exceptions "Allow direct access, including .php files, to these directories" -- can this please have the following defaults;
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
administrator/templates/rt_missioncontrol_j16
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I use Admin Tools on many of my clients' sites, and I have to add these lines to each site's configuration, which is an incredible nuisance.

Please consider adding these exceptions.

Thank you! LOVE THE PRODUCT.

There is a reason why I am not adding a lot of exceptions in there by default. Each additional exception line adds a little to the execution time. If I end up accepting all third party extension workarounds proposed by my users, we'll end up with close to 1,000 lines of (most likely unnecessary) exceptions, leading to a 1-2 second page load impact. You don't want that, really :) Just keep a copy of your "standard" exceptions and add them to each site you create.

So, then, that makes me really curious -- why do you have *any* as defaults?

(things like "components/com_uddeim/captcha15.php" seem just as valid as "administrator/templates/rt_missioncontrol_j16")

No intent to argue, just curious to your overall thought-process, one dev to another.

Thanks, Nicholas.

They are there as samples. I am not sure if that's a good idea, now that we get to mention that.

:-) OK. I'll be removing them, then, as I add my own.

Thanks again.
