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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

This issue is marked as solved
Hi,

just installed the plugin, but it seems to not work for me at all. Like when i hover on names, nothing happens.
I edited the function.php file.

I should have mentioned it in the release thread, however here's the trick: Hovercards works on links with the data-uid attribute correctly pointing to the user's identifier. It uses the identifier to query for the user's data when you hover on it, so it's absolutely necessary that the uid is correct.

The core edit accomplishes that by adding the uid to the link; plugins should always refer to core functions when building links, but if for whatever reason one does not comply with this "golden rule", you can edit the plugin and add the data-uid attribute wherever links are generated within it. I would recommend to change the plugin's behavior to use the build_profile_link function, which accepts the username as the first parameter and the uid as the second (example:

$profilelink = build_profile_link($username, $uid); 
Links are generated using the uid anyway, so the uid is available for sure. If you are clueless, you may ask the plugin's author to update it using core functions instead of personal tricks.

Okay, thank you!
Well, seems to not work, i doubt the plugin gets updated ever again though.
Tried adding data-uid="$uid" to the <a> tag, but it prints "false" out.

Can't be helped i suppose.
