weird comment regarding Admintools in Templates

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

"Admintools Pro Installed
It looks like you have Admintools installed. Admintools has a feature which blocks access to php files using the template=mytemplate functionality. Enabling this option will prevent the template from being able to compile less to css or save changes.
We advise disabling this function in the template during development. Once you have finished developing your site it is safe to re-enable this functionality."

I dont understand that: "We advise disabling this function in the template during development." How am I supposed to develop when I disable "compile less to css or save changes"?

"Admintools has a feature which blocks access to php files ..." would be cool to know which feature that would be so one can disable it.

Hi

I'd suggest disabling the component while building the site - I no longer install it to the site is live

I think from memory the option is under visual fingerprinting tab

Cheers

Hi

Are you able to compile using other themes?

I have duplicated the theme and saved and compiled - I've not enabled the duplicate on the front end however

When I log in I see the same screen but without the input fields and nothing gets saved or compiled.

This issue goes on for some months now, I need a solution, my entire workflow is screwed.

Have you thought about using htaccess on the site?

That is what I use instead of the Joomla offline page

What role plays the "offline page" when the template fails to compile? But anyway, the hoster does not allow the use of htaccess.

I need solution for compiling the template. And I need that pretty quickly. Thanks

Hi,

I think the best option is to create a ticket with ftp information so we can take a look.
