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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

All clear now. Thank you. I will add an option like the existing ones (Avatar, Bio, etc.) called "Username" which will add the username to a specified custom profile field.

Awesome, thank you for your patience while I tried to explain.

The feature has been implemented in Flyover. You can test it by checking the Username option under Tumblr in your UCP on this board, sync, and see the Tumblr username field (in the Edit profile section, or in your profile) filled in with your Tumblr username.

Of course, the option is available for every provider as a selectbox in which you're asked to pick up a custom profile field from the existing ones (dynamically loaded).

Excellent, just what I wanted :)

One thing (and it is small) I think that the saving sequence is maybe now a little different?

Its required to sync then save right? The friendly redirect pops up on sync and THEN you need to save too? If that is so then I think some users might get confused.

You need to save the options before syncing. When you sync you do not send any data to the server, so you don't save anything. I might change every sync button with a submit button which does sync AND save at the same time, but that would require me some edits.

okay thank you :)

Then something is wrong. I cannot unselect the username checkbox now.

Ok, here is the "bug" - it seems, that if I check for example bio and save, the page refreshes with the redirect and it is checked. If I then change my mind to UNcheck it and save on refresh it is still checked. It is only if I check another checkbox and UNcheck the one I wanted to uncheck and then save that it works,

That sounds really muddled, I hope you can understand it :(

Ok, that bit works; but now, if I untick username profile field is still filled in. Can that be synchronised?

I can add an option that, if enabled, lets wipe out the content of the respective profile information when options are unticked. At the moment, syncing only adds and does not remove informations.

MyBB 1.6 support has been added to the development version FYI.
