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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

When people sign up and log in to their account, they are automatically sent a message. In the message, there is supposed to be a randomly automated password.
These settings are on:
Master Switch
Send PM upon registration
One-click registration

These settings are not on:
Emailless and passwordless accounts
Popup mode

In the message, this is put in: Welcome to our Forums, dear {user}!

Welcome to {provider}. We have generated a random password for you which you should take note somewhere if you would like to change your personal infos. We require for security reasons that you specify your password when you change things such as the email, your username and the password itself, so keep it secret! If you have problems with logging in with Steam, remember your username and this password, and go to: http://prime-nation.com/forum/member.php?action=login

Your password is: {password}

With regards,
Prime Nation


The message looks like this, which does not send a generated password: https://gyazo.com/9224c9f6294be156dc9515b096ceee03
I want it to be an actually generated password there. Every account can be logged into because they have no passwords. Username, and boom you're in. How can I fix this?

Thank you for reporting, it's indeed an issue. I have fixed it my local 1.3 copy, if you want a temporary fix for this, open inc/plugins/Flyover/class_core.php and search for:

$thingsToReplace = array(
    
"{user}" => $user_info['username'],
    
"{password}" => $password,
    
"{provider}" => $this->provider
); 
Replace it with:

$thingsToReplace = array(
    
"{user}" => $user_info['username'],
    
"{password}" => $new_user['password'],
    
"{provider}" => $this->provider
);
