About This File
What is this plugin for?
The module provides a solution for optimization and security of working with the administrator token on websites. It removes the value of the token parameter from the URL, while leaving the empty "&token=" parameter. This prevents possible errors due to a missing token in the address bar. Additionally, the module uses a cookie instead of passing a token in the URL, increasing security. This functionality is especially useful for developers working on localhost or on sites under development, and helps avoid problems with bookmarks, as well as session and login issues. The module simplifies the process of debugging and testing web applications.
The module provides the following features:
-
Removing the admin token parameter value from the URL:
This module removes the admin token parameter value from the URL while keeping the empty "&token=" parameter in the URL. This prevents errors that might occur due to the absence of this parameter, as some modules expect it to be present in the URL by default. -
Using a cookie instead of a parameter in the URL:
Instead of passing an admin token in the URL address bar, the module uses a cookie. This promotes security by preventing the token from being passed overtly in the URL. -
Avoiding Bookmarks and Session/Login Issues:
The module provides a smoother bookmarking experience and prevents session and login issues, especially when the token does not contain a value. -
Useful for Developers:
The module provides a useful tool for developers, especially when working on localhost or on sites under development. Injecting an empty admin token in the URL makes debugging and testing easier.
