I have used AdminTools for some time and I would like to use JoomSEF as well on one of my sites. I just want to make sure that they play nice together, in particular with the .htaccess file.

I assume that after I create the .htaccess file with AdminTools that I then edit it with JoomSEF.

I appreciate your advice on this matter. With all of the new features of AdminTools do I need JoomSEF? can I do the same things with AdminTools?

I think you confuse some things.

Admin Tools manages the .htaccess file of your site and you can put redirections in there as well. You can also use the URL Redirection to set up redirections which don't use your site's .htaccess file. A SEF component, on the other hand, parses URLs and turns them into human friendly URLs without interacting with .htaccess at all.

I can't see any reason why Admin Tools can interfere with a SEF component. I have tested Admin Tools with AceSEF and sh4040SEF and it works just fine. I think that you won't have a problem with JoomSEF either.

In the edit .htaccess section of JoomSEF they recommend the Rewrite Base option. It puts this code at the end of the .htacces file:

##### Joomla! core SEF Section -- BEGIN
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|pdf|raw|ini|zip|json|file|vcf))$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
##### Joomla! core SEF Section -- END

Is this already taken care of by AdminTools? and could it create any problems?

Thanks

Of course it does! This is part of the .htaccess of each and every Joomla! site as the comment denotes 
Joomla! core SEF Section -- BEGIN


Have you taken a look at the generated .htaccess file by Admin Tools Pro?
