htaccess, css and backend

After my homepage has been hacked I did two things to protect it:

[list]1. I installed the standard joomla htaccess file in the joomla root directory.
2. In addition I placed htaccess files in different directories as recommended on this page http://www.joomla-security.de/dateien-verzeichnisse/htaccess-einstellungen.html. This protects e.g. the directory /administrator/components with this code [attachment=0]code.JPG[/attachment]
[/list]

Now my homepage works fine appart from the chronoforms form:
[list]1. I used the standard css file given and recommended by chronoforms. Now my standard css is used and the form looks strange and the required fields are no longer marked or controlled before submission.
2. In the backend I can no longer access my forms. They load but then nothing happens. I only see the loading circle.
[/list]

I have tried to place htaccess files in the chronoforms directory to make the form wörk again but it didn't. I have also reinstalled the chronoforms component in case that something got damaged through the attack but this did not help either.

What am I supposed to do?

Hi ChronoRitter,

Your post has the same image four times - I'm not sure if that is what you intended?

You probably need to unblock the /libraries/cegcore folder too. Other than that I can only suggest that you experiment to see what exactly is causing the problem. Setting the Site Error Reporting to Maximum and checking for PHP or JavaScript errors may help you to see what is broken by the blocks you have added.

Ups. No. Checked the post several times before publishing. 😲

Well. I guess I will have to try that then too. Could you please give me an example of the script for the htaccess-file that is needed? Would this do?

Satisfy Any
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

Hi ChronoRitter,

Sorry, I don't have the slightest idea what you need in the .htaccess file :-( Whatever reverses the existing blocks I guess. ChronoForms expects to have free access to all of its files.

So I would have to place an htaccess-file within these directories

/administrator/components/com_chronoforms5
/components/com_chronoforms5
/libraries/cegcore

which allows all, like:

<Files "*.*">
Allow from all
</Files>

???

Got it. The htaccess-file within the directorey of /libraries/cegcore did the trick.

Thanks for your help.
