 Hi, I have admin tools installed in many sites and it's great. I have protected the admin url with a secret url parameter.
I also have a component called 'sp staging' which will allow one management site to access all of my joomla sites at one time which is extremely valuable when trying to update multiple sites.

The issue I have is that the 'sp staging' component is trying to access my administrator sites by the usual url 'xxx.com/administrator' but my sites have secret url parameter like this 'xxx.com/administrator/?secret' and so the 'sp staging' component cannot access.

The 'sp staging' component developer has told me he will customise the component to try and access my sites but when we try to access url like this... http://www.xxx.com/administrator/?secret/index.php?option=com_spstgsrv it still does not work.

Can you advise the developer of 'sp staging' what he would have to do to make this work correctly?

Thank you in advance

This is an invalid URL, that's why :) The URL you should try accessing is:
http://www.xxx.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_spstgsrv&secret

Just tell the developer to do that (and tell him "Hi", we've briefly met in the JaB 2012 conference, he might remember me).
