Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

Allow buyer to select quantity?

Is there any way to allow the buyer to select a quantity in Paypal? This would especially be helpful if/when user defined subscription amounts are added! Right now, Paypal wont allow buyers any other quantity than 1.

This would only make sense if your subscriptions would last a finite time (eg. a year), so it can add up as many years as you want. I can't see any other use of this. I can add it to the upcoming version.

Actually I am using Bankpipe successfully for VIP subscriptions as well as non physical raffle entry sales! The raffle sales is where this would really help me out. Right now, a buyer has to make multiple purchases instead of upping the quantity. I was hoping is was a simple true/false setting in the Paypal code but if you could add it sometime, that would be awesome!

PayPal is just a module, BankPipe works on an higher, independent level. Also it's not meant for physical packages, you would also need to issue invoices and several other legal stuff.

Ideally it's easy to let users purchase the same item multiple times, but I am not going to suit this to let you perform physical tradeoffs.

Negative...I am using it for non-physical items only. Not shipping anything!

It's not a deal breaker but if it had options for buyer defined amounts and variable quantity per package, it would be perfect for just about any non-physical application!
