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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Conversation convert problem and message send problem

This issue is marked as solved
Hi Shade. I know the plugin still in beta stage and I hope soon there is an update for more stable version.

Anyway lets talk about my issue. Two different member in my forum couldn't send message because they had corrupted conversation.

Please check the screenshot in attachment. I'm clicking "Start conversion" but nothing happens.

This is what shows up in the console. It didn't generate any kind of error on the page. Just reloaded and did nothing.

One of the things it seems to be complaining about is:

$(document).ready(() => {
var total = parseInt('169979');

Is this what you were looking for within the console @Shade? When the "Start conversion" link is selected, it just reloads the page and does nothing.

Wait, I seem to be having broader JS issues on the site. Let me look into this a bit. I think it's a jQuery problem. Sorry, I literally just imported this over into a new host and now I'm noticing a bunch of JS-related design functions don't work either.

I jumped the gun here. Javascript isn't working within the admin section or anywhere else.

Yes, JavaScript isn't working for you so the script can't start. Try to isolate the issue or, if you want, you can hand me a temp ACP account and I'll see what's the issue myself.

I'm going to try to upgrade to 1.8.24 and see if I can fix it along the way. Again, my bad, I should have made sure other things were working before trying to run the plugin. I'll post here once the JS issue is fixed and the converter is executed. Thanks Shade!

Okay, so good news, I ran the script upgrade and it fixed the site-wide JS problem. The converter is now slowly converting 170,000 messages lol (60 to 80 messages per second).

Good news @Shade! The conversion was successful! I'm tinkering around now, but yeah, it seems to have worked.

In the event that the plugin needs to be uninstalled, does it revert messages back in the same way? For example, if it's paused or times out for some reason, can one get it to resume reverting where it left off?

Nice!

Fortunately, reverting is easier as Symposium does not need to calculate fancy things and a few queries are enough to eliminate its effects from your database. Therefore, uninstalling (and therefore reverting) is just a matter of seconds.
