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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

DVZ Mentions does not trigger Hover Card?

This issue is marked as solved
I noticed that when you hover over a DVZ Mentions username on your forum, the hover card pops up...it doesn't on my forum. Also when I add a username for DVZ Mentions, I don't get the suggested list as I type like it does here. Is that something custom or is my install messed up?

@Shade

Here is a link on my forum with some mentions...

Most plugins are compatible because Hovercards alters the core and adds its own syntax to each link:

data-uid="{$uid}"
This is necessary as it then queries for all uids it can find on the page at once. Links without a data-uid attribute will not trigger Hovercards.

DVZ Mentions uses its own functions to format usernames, so you will need to alter the plugin as follows. Replace this line (click here) with:

$html = $prefix . '<a ' . $attributesHtml . ' data-uid="' . (int) $user['uid'] . '">' . $username . '</a>';
As for the special mention picker you see here, it's a custom function. I believed I shared it in the past, but I can't find the post and as I don't remember how complex the edit was I cannot share it again at the moment.

That did the trick! Thanks again Shade! If you happen to find that link to the name picker, post it up! That is a super cool detail for any forum!
