This tiny module removes the requirement for fields to have machine names starting with field_.
Why would you want to do this? There's a couple of reasons:
- You don't like the superfluous requirement to have your field machine names needlessly namespaced with
field_. - Drupal's Field UI limits field machine names to 32 characters including the
field_prefix. If you want more room to set a more descriptive machine name, then this module gives you an extra 6 characters.
This prefix is a 'soft' convention used by core and other contrib modules, so make sure to test that no other modules expect your field machine names to start with field_. The maintainer hasn't heard of this ever being an issue, but if you find out that another module doesn't play well with this one, be sure to create a new issue and we can update this message so others can be made aware.
There is no configuration for this module.
