I use admin tools on my site to help protect me from all the bad stuff out there. I am consistently seeing errors generated with this kind of URL:

www.jdevtech.com/component/mailto/?tmpl=component&template=client&link=90f0ce9cf086119c1a26db71a0b15ba0c2965f44

which causes a template in URL error in admin tools. Is there something on my site that may be causing this to happen? I also see these errors in Google webmaster tools.

Can you shed any light on this?

My Site is: www.jdevtech.com

Thanks.

Hi Bill

If possible let us know how you get on

Cheers

Here is the reply from Nicks team:

In WAF Configuration, on the Visual Fingerprinting Protection tab, make sure that "List of allowed tmpl= keywords" includes "component" and that "Allow site templates" is set to "yes".

My "Allow templates ..." was set to No. I changed it and we will see how this takes shape. Seems kinda counter intuitive to me but?????

Thanks for letting us know

Main thing is it works

Cheers

We use the index.php?template= in the ajax call so thats required to be available in order to have the ajax stuff available.
Thanks

Thanks. The errors are almost completely gone. I have had only two since the change was made; This is a great improvement. The most common error was a 403 error on 'component/mailto'

Regards.

Thanks for the update

Enjoy your weekend

Cheers
Paul
