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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

BankPipe with Newpoints integration

This issue is marked as solved
Hi

I have a suggestion if possible in next versions to integrate it with newpoints so users can use this gateway system to purchase points as well. Also once it gets more stable will purchase it for sure!

Great job @Shade

Hello, Newpoints is a fictional payments system, therefore it is not compatible with the recent changes introduced with beta 6 (that is, the switch to Omnipay, a multi-gateway payments processor).

Unfortunately this is not possible, I am sorry.

So it's not possible to integrate it like Diogo did with MySubscriptions and created a similar plugin called Purchase Credits which is based on MySubscriptions? http://forums.mybb-plugins.com/Thread-Pu...redits-2-0

I don’t know what does he use but no, BankPipe is powered by an external gateway processor which does not include Newpoints (as you would expect).

It uses coinpayments gateway and the plugin actually goes into inc/plugins/newpoints/ folder

It doesn't matter where it goes, plugins vary considerably. The point is that BankPipe's main library does not allow fictional payment systems (such as Newpoints) to be integrated. CoinPayments is just one of the many gateways, and although BankPipe will not be compatible with it, other cryptocurrency gateways are supported by Omnipay (BankPipe's library).

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully, the stable release is coming soon.
