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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Double purchases

This issue is marked as solved
Hi Shade,
3 times now since beta 8, I have had members say that once they clicked continue in the cart, the popup was blank for over a minute and then said transaction was canceled so they tried again and got the same result. However, I received double payments from Paypal! I thought it was a Paypal issue at first but now that 3 people have mentioned it I think it may be another issue on the Bankpipe side? My payment history shows double purchases as well...

Here is a description from the last member:
"When I hit the "continue" after entering cc info, name, address, email, etc. I ended up with a blank pop up. I waited several minutes and then closed it out. I then got a pop up message saying that I cancelled the transaction. So I added to cart a second time and received a second blank pop up after hitting continue. A light bulb lit up in my head (dim one), so I checked my email and found a confirmation of order email. So I guess one of them went through. Oops, hopefully not twice."

The only way to see if it’s a BankPipe error or a temporary issue with PayPal is to have a look at the error.log file. That file holds eventual errors generated by code mistakes.

On a sidenote, purchases I got here went through as normal with PayPal.

How do I access the error file?

It’s in your forum root folder.

Thanks for reporting. This is an issue affecting all prior betas and related to the notification method set to "email" rather than "pm". A temporary fix: line 19 of bankpipe/Notifications/Handler.php, find:

$this->traitConstruct(); 
Replace with:

$this->traitConstruct(['cache']); 
This will be included in the upcoming beta 9.
