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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Quite odd. The formatter should be loaded there as well. I need a test FTP account for this.

You are missing the necessary core edits; you can apply them by reinstalling the plugin.

OK, I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin...hopefully that takes care of it!

I am still getting a ton of errors from this plugin. I also discovered that the plugin is causing my password reset feature to not work properly. I disabled this plugin and password resets work perfect again.

Here is the errors I am getting in my error_log:

Reinstall the plugin. Every time you update your board, core edits are lost and you have to reinstall MAP. I've double checked if core edits are still valid and they work just fine on MyBB 1.8.22.

I've added a note in the release thread to make it clear and warn whoever comes across this issue.

Should I upload all the files or just click uninstall/re-install? I uninstalled and re-installed and the password error returned immediately.

If the password error is still there, check your inc/datahandler/user.php file: there should be a “modpack” edit. If not, the plugin has failed to apply the edits.

PS: there’s no need to reupload the plugin. If you’re on 4.0 already, uninstall and install again.
