Hi please add back the Special:MyLanguage to the docs URLs. This allows docs.joomla.org to redirect to an translated page when that is avaible.

Thanks

Why this icon twice? That makes it messy.

Why this icon twice? That makes it messy.

Because the code is wrong :)

Disabling Quick Icon Display ...

You removed the quickicon functionality. The plugin is still called <name>plg_quickicon_eos</name> and group="quickicon"

The naming of this plugin no longer corresponds to what the plugin shows. Is the naming still correct? Is there possibly a better alternative?

[laoneo]

This plugin works now in a similar way as the php EOS plugin. So for now it is ok to have it in the quickicon group. On some point we need to move it to a new group.

@zero-24 is the change OK?

Hi! Thanks for your work!
I've got a few things:

1. in eos.php:
line 217, 231, 245: link should be https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/Joomla_4.4.x_to_5.x_Planning_and_Upgrade_Step_by_Step
line 273: link should go to https://joomla.org/5
Will you please fix those links?

2. in the language strings:
line 10 PLG_QUICKICON_EOS_MESSAGE_ERROR_SUPPORT_ENDED="

@bayareajenn It is more effective to click on the relevant line in the code and add the suggestion.

Yes, I'm sure it is. Sadly, I don't know how. I don't really know how to use github. I was in the code in the site. I didn't even think of going to the code in the PR. I'm not a developer. I apologise. The formatting went to poo even worse once I commented.

Yes, I kinda got it and started adding them. Then realised that the nightly I was working off of is different from the files in here. So now I'm just thoroughly confused. I'm now unsure of what is correct and what isn't. So I'll sleep on it and work with the team. Thank you for teaching me @sandewt. I will get better over time.

Hi Everyone. The version Jenn downloaded was the previous version before this PR. I have checked and these files are the correct ones with the correct language definitions and links.
