I checked the 8.0 version of the Shuffler. There are some differences, not sure if they present a problem backporting. The simplest would probably be to replace the whole 8.0 version of the module with the 8.1 version; the question is if that would be a viable option (or even works without too much trouble). I personally have no need for a working Shuffler in 8.0, so I'll leave it untouched. -- Stephen.
