joseph.olstadthis might also affect D8
Comment #11
eiriksmThis does not affect D8. Tried to add the link in the issue summary, and it was checked and gave a 200.
The patch still needs work though.
It would be great to clean up the coding standards and document the change somewhat better, as suggested in #9.

quadrexdevD7 reached its EOL back in January 2025, and there is no active release for D7 for this module anymore.
Development or support is not planned for D7. All D7-related issues are marked as outdated in a bunch.
If the issue remains relevant for D10+ versions, merge requests with proposed solutions for a new module version (D10+) are welcome in a new follow-up issue.
Thanks!
