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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Since you can't understand the instructions, I would suggest you to wait the final version as the beta is quite unstable at the moment and needs deep understanding of the way it works.

How can I activate the load bar alone?

You can't. ThunderBoard's loading bar works if a page is requested with AJAX, so if it is configured properly.

Unfortunately I can't provide support for specific third party plugins. You need to adapt it yourself by following the instructions provided in the first post.

If I have understood correctly, one must remove var if it is not in a function. This means with mybb and any plugins that I must assume if over 50 templates this?

Yes. However, the last beta includes a more advanced algorithm which theoretically should do the job automatically. I shall make small leaps forward this issue with the next few betas. It is one of the main reasons why ThunderBoard is not completely production-ready on everyone's board.

ThunderBoard beta 5 is out


This is a bugfix and feature release.

Custom script reloading


From beta 5 onwards, ThunderBoard can reload custom scripts to ensure they can work continuously when navigating through your website. Now you can define custom handlers to accomodate third party plugins you may have installed on your board which do not work as expected across AJAX page loads.

Static file serving and cache buster


From beta 5 onwards, ThunderBoard serves minified content as static files instead of preprocessing it. This saves server memory and also enhances speed, since files are written on your server's disk rather than generated on demand.

Upgrader


From beta 5 onwards, ThunderBoard features a built-in upgrade script, so you can upgrade from older versions without uninstalling the plugin. When you overwrite your old copy, the plugin will ask you to upgrade itself when you visit your ACP.

Bugfixes


The main bugfix concerns ThunderBoard's template saving routine, which is now as reliable as the standard one. Previously, you had to save templates twice or use the Rebuild global variables tool to synchronize Thunderplates – a.k.a. ThunderBoard templates – with regular ones.

Other minor bugfixes have been applied to enhance stability and performance.

Upgrade from older versions


If you are running beta 4, overwrite the old files with the new ones and run the upgrade script when asked.

If you are running beta versions of ThunderBoard equal or older than beta 3:
  • before downloading ThunderBoard, uninstall the older version from your board;
  • download the latest ThunderBoard version, extract the .zip file, upload and overwrite the old files;
  • install and activate ThunderBoard;
  • enjoy!
