D7 version?

I haven't put any thought or effort into planning or building a D7 version of this module yet.

Here is the initial(Maybe complete) port.

Well that was fast.

This patch doesn't upgrade everything: hook_perm() is now hook_permission(), hook_theme() has changed, and there's no migration path for the two settings variables. But it's a pretty good start -- thanks. @mathankumarc, I've given you full maintainer permissions on this project so you can commit and tag a new release if you'd like once these issues and the ones below are fixed.

The index.php?q= part is required (otherwise this fails for sites with Clean URLs disabled).

This function is already in statuses.js and as far as I can tell there's no reason for it to be added again here.

Put the ->condition() on a separate line so it matches the second one below it

Only one % sign is necessary (in D6 two are required because the first one is the escape symbol).

Will revise the patch and work with you on the D7 release.

This function is already in statuses.js and as far as I can tell there's no reason for it to be added again here.

In statuses.js file fbss_print_remaining() function was put in the following context,

(function($) {

})(jQuery);

So its not available outside of the statuses.js

How can we address this scenario?

Ooh, right. We can just move the function outside of that closure in statuses.js and replace $() with jQuery() inside of it.

Here is the revised patch.

Added migration path also(However I'm not sure about that).

Holding on this until #1505346: Move fbss_print_remaining() out of jQuery closure gets fixed.

I don't know what I was thinking about the migration path. Looking at it now I don't think a migration path is needed. The only reason variables would need to be migrated is if there is a name change, and there isn't one here. Sorry about that. Other than that this is RTBC

Added new branch for D7. Downloadable file will be available in another 12 hours.
