I spent 2 weeks looking at the code and couldn’t find it. When I managed to get it working on my local installation I applied the fixes and it was still broken. The code is too convoluted and stationary that it takes a lot of effort to simply get it working else where. Thank you Hedonil. As such I can no longer provide the time to maintain these tools as they are poorly documented and too time-consuming for me to fix, and have as such lost interest in their maintainence.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m sorry everyone.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
