Admin Tools Community Choice Popular ComponentModulePlugin

Admin Tools is a true Swiss Army knife for your site. Our freely available Admin Tools Core will detect, notify you about and install new Joomla! releases, fix your files' and directories' permissions, protect your administrator directory with a password, change your database prefix, set a secure Super Administrator ID, migrate links pointing to your old domain on-the-fly and perform database maintenance, all with a single click.

Written and maintained by the same developer as Akeeba Backup and the Joomla! updater component of Joomla! 2.5.4 and later.

Note: a commercial edition (Admin Tools Professional) with extra security-oriented features is also available from our site for a fee. This listing is about the free version, Admin Tools Core.

Note 2: The software is free of charge, its support is not. You need a valid subscription (starting at EUR 7.79) to request support. However, its documentation, the troubleshooting wizard and searching the forum is free.

admin tools
2012-02-27
Reviews: 3
I tried to use admin tools to go on joomla 1.7. It broke my site. I uninstalled it and got the home page graphics back but all the menu links were broken. I went into menu manager and tried to re-link the menus but to no avail. Luckily I had a local version to fall back on.
Owner's reply

As I've written many times in the public support tickets (which can be searched and read even by non-subscribers like you) this is caused by wrong permissions on your site causing a directory to not be copied. There is a bug in Admin Tools' plugin, causing it to fail with a fatal error when that directory isn't copied. It was discovered because some other users, unlike you, took the time to file a free bug report in our Pre-Sales forum, supplying me with adequate information to replicate the issue and solve it. The bottom line is, if you have a bug report, please report it on our site. It's free. Unless you report it, don't expect to see it resolved.

Anyway, the solution to your problem is rather simple: extract the installation archive and copy the fof directory inside your site's libraries directory, so that you now have a libraries/fof directory.

Besides, we have manual uninstallation instructions in our release announcement page (https://www.akeebabackup.com/home/news/56-releases/1446-admin-tools-2-2-0.html). If you follow them, the software uninstalls cleanly and doesn't cause the problems you mention. My guess is that you removed the component but not the plugins, hence the persistence of your problem.

Finally, please note that as stated in the release announcement and our download page, Joomla! 1.7 is NOT supported.

Easy as 123... If your looking to update from Joomla 1.5.23 to 1.5.25 and above Akeeba Admin Tools is exactly what you need to get the job done (considering so many forum posts are asking where the 1.5.23 update package can be found). The component is flawless! BTW - Be sure to use Akeeba back up before upgrading!!!!
Kudos + 5 Stars - to the development staff at Akeeba, Keep up the good work!

Admin Tools saved my tail on 2 websites!!!

I use Joomla almost exclusively on websites I build for my clients and have not had any major problems until the other day. I had two websites in progress for clients and for some reason, both of them had something go wrong during setup. I was unable to use some of the components. I had a feeling that it was a corrupt core file somewhere but did not want to go through the process of a reinstall of the site. I searched for a way to repair the install and found Admin Tools. I installed it on both sites and ran the reinstall and it fixed both sites. Saved me a lot of time!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

Akeeba has got to be one of the most consistently great extension providers to Joomla. This package installs cleanly, start up is quick and start tips even make absolute sense. Get the Pro version after you try it....you'll LIKE it.
Great support site also....keep up the Great work....(pretty please....?)

Admin Tools Core installs and runs smooth as silk. I've begun replacing the old goodie jupdate on my newer 1.7 sites and have begun to do the same with my 1.5's. I agree, pair it with Akeeba Backup!

One of the best extensions out there for security. Will recommend without hesitation... Buy the pro version if you're serious about security, it helps with the .htaccess as well.

In case you haven't read my Akeeba Backup review, we cannot give enough praise to Nicholas the developer of these awesome solutions.

We use Admin Tools to carry out the updating of Joomla, knowing that Akeeba Pro has a one site restore function just in case. The other features we don't use but it is always good to know that they are available if the time come when we need to use them.

Another Superb Solution by Nicholas, keep up the good work.
