Other Advanced Module Manager questions

We just upgraded a Joomla 3.10.11 site from PHP 7.x to PHP 8.0.25.
This appears to break AMM and has several modules, which were set to display on different days/times all appearing on the page all the time.
We're seeing '0 Undefined constant "N"' appear in the browser tab title.
And getting alerts from akeeba admin:
(and those notices are being sent every time there is a hit on the home page - where the problematic assigned modules appear).
I've disabled the related modules, but the notice is still appearing.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

We finally found the issue.
We had one module on the home page that was using a PHP custom code restriction controlling display of the module.
The PHP code was using a php function where the syntax had changed slightly and PHP8 no longer supported the old syntax.
After fixing the PHP code, it all works fine.

Yup.
The next version of Advanced Module Manager will store the temporary PHP files used for custom PHP conditions in:That should give a bit more of a clue where the problem comes from.

Will that allow us to directly edit the file (using our own IDE), rather than in the GUI/Joomla Admin?
If so, that would be a wonderful feature.

No, that is just the folder of the temporary PHP files.
But if you want to have your PHP code in an external file, you can do that and include it via the PHP condition.
Something like:Where mySpecialFunction is in that external file and returns a true or false value.
