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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Redirection to the same page the user is watching does not work

This issue is marked as solved
So first- the keys you enter at the configurations are consumer key and consumer secret. Not the tokens, this was confusing to me- I suggest you remove the word token (twitter also provide access token and access token secret).

My problem now is that I don't get a pop-up even though I marked "Yes" for pop-up mode.
I want someone on a specific thread be able to click the twitter login and reply. Not to be redirected to the forum home.

How do I do this? How do I get this working?

"Consumer" is used by a few providers. I've seen more "tokens" than "consumers", but Flyover 1.3 will come with a step-by-step tutorial on how to get the tokens for every provider so it's not a big deal :)

The popup is powered by JavaScript. If it doesn't work, it's likely you have some other scripts failing before Flyover's JS can be loaded. I may ask you your board's URL so I can analyze the source code and give you some hints on this.

The redirection thing should happen already. By fixing those JS errors and letting the popup mode work it should reload the page the user is currently watching.

OK, if you read what I wrote before - ignore it.
The problem now is this - I need a link that I want to add to the guestblock , signing with twitter, that will redirect back to where user was. I tried adding &popup=1 to the regular link to overcome this but it doesn't work.

I'd rather see your board to check for JS errors which may be the cause for this issue you're getting.

I didn't see your reply, sorry.


I also tried this (rediret to thread) but it doesn't work....:-(

I doubt it has anything to do with java because the pop-up works. Only when I disable it- it doesn't redirect.
If I have the pop-up option off I will be redirected to home index, not to where the user was.

Yeah sorry, the pages selector is difficult to see. I will replace it with an infinite scrolling approach in the future.

Regarding your issue, it seems like it's the standard behavior of MyBB to redirect to the index when you log in when viewing a thread. I may apply a patch to Flyover to override the core behavior for 1.3, but it's unlikely it will be out before February 2017 given I am a med student and I've got an exams session starting in the weeks to come.

No, because when I login via the regular login I return to the original thread.
If I disable popup (which I'm going to do now for you to see) I get redirected to home.

Because it's a third party plugin. Flyover runs his own functions to redirect the user correctly, so it's unaffected by other plugins which alter the standard redirect() function.
