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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

MyBB password

This issue is marked as solved
When a user is registering with my site via Flyover is that users password stored within the MyBB user table? Does this mod modify the MyBB password in anyway?

Why I ask is. I have a custom Apache mod_mysql_auth that uses MyBB users table (username, password, usergroup) for basic auth in a protected area. I plan on using Bankpipe for subscriptions but I can't have my auth system messed with.

No, Flyover does not alter the _users table at all. It uses its own table.

I don't understand what BankPipe has to do with the question though. Also, if you want to receive further support, I'm afraid you will need to subscribe or purchase Flyover.

Well I won't buy either unless I know they'll work for my application.

Fair enough. With this kind of software it's easy to get access to leaks so I thought you had already access to it somehow.

Anyway, you can ask for a refund within 30 days if not satisfied.

Fair enough. But I pay for what I use and appreciate good support.

My Apache Auth is being updated this weekend to work with MyBB salt and password hash. Your payment system would be needed to process payments and upgrade the users group.

We thought it would be awesome if we had a multi register system to take advantage of one signup but if the users are in a different table and the login is stored unlike MyBB I don't know if it will work.

Is there anyway I can explain my needs in depth perhaps by email.

You can write them up here. If you don't want to disclose personal info, use the Private Inquiries forum.

As I said, Flyover uses its own tables, with the user id ("uid") being the only indirect reference to the users table, which is what I suppose you are referencing as well.
