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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Error in Flyover when One-click registration is set to No

I'm getting this error when One-click registration is set to No

You landed on this page without specifying a provider ID. This means you are probably using this feature unconventionally. Please do not attempt to use Flyover features out of their context.

When set to Yes, registration goes fine but email address in database is blank
website: https://forum.hovatek.com

HInt: At the last step when your Username and Email address appears and you're supposed to click Save, the url in the address bar is

https://forum.hovatek.com/flyover.php?ac...der=Google

when you click the save button, you then get redirected to

https://forum.hovatek.com/flyover.php?ac...der=Google

where the error message then comes up

Update:
After some digging, I've been able to narrow down the error to the flyover_register template.
The form is like <form action="flyover.php?action=register&provider={$flyover->provider}" method="post">
{$flyover->provider} is returning empty
What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

Update:
I've had to apply a javascript patch to grab the url from address bar then replace the html's action attribute.
Hoping for a permanent fix

Replace {$flyover->provider} with {$Flyover->provider} (with the capital letter "F"). Flyover < 1.2 used lowercase letters, while from 1.3 letters were capitalized. This has been already reported here: Missing provider in registration URL.

I will include a red warning in the upgrading notes in the release thread.
