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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Not sure how to get Flyover to work with my theme

This issue is marked as solved
I am currently using this theme: http://iandrew.me/showthread.php?tid=3
My site is http://agentc0re.com/Forum

Whats not working

The login button does not popup and show a dialogue to login via user/pass & the social buttons. I do have the setting checked to do so in the settings panel.
When inserting <flyover_login_box> anywhere in my templates, HUGE social icons pop up. It's weird. In fact i'll try again in other places to further verify this.

Request for a feature

When clicking on Register, I think it should be the same popup box with all the social buttons. Or when clicking on register it shows the social icons with some Text like "You can also register by any one of these social logins" or something.

Maybe my request is already a feature and i just am not working.

Whatever you need, let me know. Even if it's the theme. It'd only be for dev purposes of course. :D
Thanks,
-Jon

Hi agentc0re and thank you for purchasing Flyover.

Concerning the issues you are currently experiencing, Flyover is designed for the official 1.8 theme and third party themes might break its styling, but not its functionalities. If you want to use other themes, you got to edit the templates and stylesheets Flyover comes with accordingly to match your theme's needs. Everything about styling is packed in the flyover.css stylesheets which should have been loaded into every existing theme.

Also, if you have .htaccess blocks to the /inc or /inc/plugins subfolders, you need to whitelist the /inc/plugins/Flyover folder as the plugin needs to directly access the files contained in this folder in order to authenticate users.

I have analyzed your website and your theme seems to have some javascript errors that prevent Flyover's popup mode to kick in. I'd suggest you to fix those javascript errors, or to disable Flyover's popup mode and let PHP handle everything for you instead of javascript (if something goes wrong with another js file, every other js script will fail and this is what is causing the Internal Server Error to appear apparently).

Concerning the thing about the registration advice, you can put the <flyover_login_box> variable wherever you want in your templates, and it will be replaced with the login box (editable in Flyover's templates if you want to change its styling). Also, whenever you configure a provider you should see a success message with an HTML code for the configured provider: you can also add that manually to every template you want.

Thank you for getting back with me!

Well this is strange, when you go to the index.php the icons display fine, but when you go to portal.php, it's all messed up.

I don't block any of those folders, so we're good there. Thanks for checking up on me.

I fixed the tooltip javascript error by commenting out the section defining it until it gets resolved. The youmax error can be ignored.

So how would i edit my current Login button to pop up like how you programmed it to for the default theme?

UPDATE
Never mind about index and portal differences. once i linked the images properly, they blew up in size.

UPDATE 2
Got some progress made. I was able to figure out how to resize the icons to a better size. I also figured out the .modal is not a function issue. I had to include the following script above it.

<script>
  jQuery.noConflict();
</script>
Only thing id like to figure out is what dictates icon size in the popup login menu? I'm having trouble find that one.

So it looks like i got most everything figured out. YEY!!! :D :D

Alright time to test out logging in of plugins
I'm doing this as i go through them on my website too.

Google seemed to work fine but never redirected me back to my site. it stopped here and was a blank white page.
http://agentc0re.com/Forum/usercp.php?action=link&popup=1&provider=Google&login_success=1#
Facebook also didn't return me to the website and stopped me at this white page.
http://agentc0re.com/Forum/usercp.php?action=link&popup=1&provider=Facebook&login_success=1#_=_
3rd one down, Stackexchange....white screen.
http://agentc0re.com/Forum/usercp.php?action=link&popup=1&provider=StackExchange&login_success=1
This seems like it's going to happen everytime.. Hrmm.. I'll continue and post an update here in a second.

.. Few minutes later. :D
None of the Social Accounts linked ever redirected back to the site for me.

more investigating reveled that signing on with a new account, it redirects just fine. Had friend test out Linking his account with social account and it redirected fine for him. I'm not sure why it didn't for me.

UPDATE 1

Ahhh interesting, disabling Pop Up mode took care of the blank white screen issue with no redirect.
My friend tried to sign in with facebook which resulted in an "bug" statement. Here's the screen caputure of the bug from the flyover settings.

UPDATE 2
Small update. Just want to mention that i had permission issues server side. My host was yelling at me in the logs that certain files and folders had group write on them. once i turned it off, other things worked &/or i was able to figure out why they weren't working.

Yeah, since popup mode is powered by plain javascript, using a custom theme may break it as they usually contain JS errors. These block every other JS script and the execution is not going well in the end.

Regarding the issue your friend is getting, it's probably related to the fact that the application is still in development mode (I tested it on your site and Facebook tells me this). You've got to set it "live" from within the App Status panel in the application manager on Facebook Developers.

Shade (26 Nov 2015)
That really depends on who made the theme :P

My custom themes that I have made dont contain js errors.
