    Support for drupal 7 modules cannot be enabled again. We will have to move this module to d7security to continue support there.

    Thx, that would be greatly appreciated by me and the 71,259 Websites that use this version of the module at this time!
    In what timeframe do you think this could be done?

    @maintainers: can you add the following to the project page?

    <h2>Drupal 7 version</h2>
    The Drupal 7 version of the Views Slideshow module is not supported on drupal.org anymore. The <a href="https://www.d7security.org/">D7Security group</a> has taken over maintainership <a href="https://gitlab.com/d7security/views_slideshow">on Gitlab</a>. Follow the <a href="https://www.d7security.org/docs/general-information/user-guide">D7Security user guide</a> to continue receiving security update notifications for the Views Slideshow module.

    Thanks a lot for the swift move of the module to d7security - it works like a charm - what a relief!

    FYI: it seems the instructions on https://www.d7security.org/docs/general-information/user-guide should be updated to the 7.x-1.2 version of the d7security_client module.

    Thanks for the hint, updated the version number in the user guide!

    Happy to hear that it works for you :)

    I am not sure why the 7.x-3.x branch became unsupported and unfortunately, I have not received any notice/email about this to give me the opportunity to do something (I have to say that I worked on initiating a D8 version of the module and never touched it since that time).

    I have updated the project description with the new process for D7.

  • 🇦🇹Austria klausi 🇦🇹 Vienna

    Nice, thanks a lot!

    I'll assign issue credits for the 3 of us for reporting and resolving this, I hope that is ok!

  • 🇦🇹Austria klausi 🇦🇹 Vienna

    Ah, looks like issue credits can only be assigned by maintainers here. I probably see the checkboxes because I'm a project admin, but can't set them.

    Anyway, if you want you can set issue credits for appreciating the work :)

    @vbouchet Thx for the update - I had been wondering how this came about, since the 7.x-version never had any security issue - mysterious still - care to investigate (a little)?
