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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Paid download logs

Hey Shade,

Would it be possible to have a section in the Admin CP that logs the downloads of attachments that have a price/need a subscription? By log, I mean the following; The specific attachment, the user that downloaded it, the date (&time) it was downloaded, and if they paid for that specific item or obtained it through a subscription.

Could have 2 ways of doing it,
- A logs section in the Admin CP, showing all downloads with ways to filter through them by user, time, attachment etc..
- In the Users & Groups section, when viewing/editing a user - a section to display all their download if any.
I prefer the first.

This wouldn't need to be required for free attachments. Reason I'm suggesting/requesting this is due to refund requests. It's easy enough to have a vague no refunds policy, however sometimes people do make mistakes, or were meant to cancel but forgot etc.. and get in contact asking to cancel and obtain a refund. To maintain professionalism it would be nice to know who is actually telling the truth rather than downloading everything and bouncing. You can state in your policy then that once you download any paid item, there are no refunds.

Sorry if this is already a feature, I haven't had the pleasure of testing it yet.
Great work so far! :)

This is actually something I didn't think in the first place, but it would surely fit into BankPipe. I prefer the first method too. This is not a feature yet, so it has been added to BankPipe development.

Edit: this is accomplished in the ongoing dev version. Hope this is sufficient for you:

That’s absolutely brilliant! :D is there/will there be filter options?

Precisely what I was thinking. Thanks Shade

Yes, it comes with filtering options by username, date and item downloaded.
