Common Directory in Admin

Hi. SS creates a common directory inside admin folder. In a URL when accessing these there is no access / rule check to go back to the admin login screen. Is the common folder or the files insiide it used by SS? Can I delete this folder? Or how can I add an access check so that when a file is accessed it jumps back to the admin login screen? Plz advise. Thx.

add the following code at line 1 of each of those files:

php:
<?php require_once( "../../WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php" ); ?>

<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("Administrator")){
    
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess("../users_login.php");
}
?>

Thanks. Ive tried that and get the following message.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by admin\common\addpage.php:2) in WA_SecurityAssist\Helper_PHP.php on line 67

Any help appreciated.

the cannot modify headers error occurs if there is white space between closing php blocks "?>" and opening php code blocks "<?php"

the make sure there are no blank lines or blank spaces between code blocks, if you can find the problem, send a copy of your page so I can look at the code.

There was a space in between the code and deleted it, now it works. thx for that.

There is also a pages.php in admin folder, which doesn't have an access check - Im just trying to secure files from direct access. Please can you help with the pages.php page - how to add access rules.

Hi. After adding the access ceck in the files in common directory, logged into admin and when I click on home, for example, it loads another admin screen instead of the edititable regions. This happens on clicking on all the pages to edit. Please help. cheers

Hi Jason. Ive attached my admin screen after applying access check. to the files in the common folder. As you can see if I click on any page link it loads another admin screen rather than the page edit screen. Please advise.

add this at line 1 of each of the pages in the common folder:

php:
<?php require_once( "../../WA_Globals/WA_Globals.php" ); ?>

Thx Jason, that works!

There's also a pages.php in the admin folder which displays content when accessed directly from browser. Please could you help in applying access check to this file?

Many thanks
