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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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
I've been testing this for a couple days now and its great for images but appears to stall on every video I've tried to post. The same video posts no problem with the default mybb uploader. Is there a way to log errors or trace the problem?

Just looked at Dropzone.js config, and it seems like it features a timeout option which might be the culprit. Open jscripts/MyDropzone/rules.js, find at line 31:

paramName: paramName,
Add below:

timeout: 900000,
This will up the timeout limit from 30 seconds to 900, which should be enough. Note that if your server is configured to have a timeout itself, the patch above won't suffice and you will need to raise the limit also on your server's behalf.

Obvious issues would be: file too big and extension not allowed. MyDropzone should throw a visible error for both (as it replicates MyBB normal behavior). If none of the above apply to your case, you can try to watch for issues on the network tab in your browser console.

If you're still getting troubles, send me a link or a list of reproducible steps, I will check it out.

What I've been able to reproduce. Batches of jpg's no problem works fast to large or to many I get the error as I should. When uploading mp4 or mpeg within file size and allowed it d does about 10 to 15% then just stalls. The standard uploader works fine.

Thanks for the support. I've edited and will report back.

Okay that seemed to do the trick. But how do I get rid of the "Insert Into Post"
