I often have trouble with the file and folder permissions on my Joomla site, as my shared hosting provider tends to have some odd permissions sometimes when installing... so it often leads to errors on my Joomla site. I downloaded Admin Tools to fix this very problem, and it does a fantastic job of correcting the permissions.



Now, that's all I was expecting. But then I noticed Admin Tools also reported my Joomla version was out of date. Cool; I try to stay on top of it, but it's a pain in the rump to have to manually overwrite files by FTP. So I clicked the update button in Admin Tools, and to my surprise it automatically grabbed the patch file for Joomla, extracted it and installed it on my installation. I am now using the latest version of Joomla in only a few mouse clicks.



I was also shocked to find there are some great security enhancements added to Joomla by way of Admin Tools. Things like improved security using htaccess for the Administrator area. I mean, it's all "simple stuff", but putting it all in one place and making it so I don't have to do it manually... THAT is fantastic.



Across my multiple sites, this tool is going to save me a great deal of time, and will also help me effectively manage my Joomla version. FABULOUS.



Thank you so much for making this tool free. While I probably wouldn't have bought it if it were a commercial app, now that I've tried it I am going to have to track down a way to donate as a small thank you for what you've provided.



Great work! Keep the features coming! :)

I have found this to be an excellent tool - a must have! I just updated 15 Joomla sites from 1.5.21 to 1.5.22 in 40 minutes - and that included updating the admin tool itself.

The Joomla Core Updates work as advertised and the functionality should be a core part of the Joomla admin. Please do not forget to donate if you appreciate this fine tool. Thank you and keep the good work!

Where has this been all my Joomla life??? Love it!!! You guys are the best!

Great component and great support, if you have one or fifty Joomla sites then this is a must have, GET IT NOW!!

Another excellent component from the AkeebaBackup team! This extension will save you a lot of time and effort and is a must-have for any Joomla installation! Highly recommended...

One click and Joomla's upgraded. Niiice!

Like all other Akeeba products I've used, this program is simple, yet brilliant. Absolutely love the possibility to update Joomla! and the 'one-click solutions' for typical Joomla issues.

Akeeba Backup and Admin Tools make quite a fantastic pair. These are incredibly valuable tools. Nicholas raises the bar, I think, for application development, security, documentation, and support. He's pretty fantastically generous toward the Joomla! community, too; a great supporter of open source.

Very good.

Congratulation to author!
