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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

ok, so you need to fix it. It's not the native MyBB behavior.

I think you replied before I edited.
so re-posting:
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.

Do not edit your posts erasing the old content, just add a new reply which will be appended to your latest :)

This is quite odd. I should check it out as soon as possible. From a quick view of the core code I'm prone to say MyBB does not redirect to the same thread when logging in, but I should perform some tests then.

since I edited etc. I'd like to know you saw my reply that this is not the native behavior of MyBB. login redirects to where the user came from.

MyBB really does. There was a bug in 1.6 version.
Here's the content from archive.

Darn, you're right. MyBB stores the currently-watching-page URL into an HTML element and redirects back to it when the login process finishes.

Instead, Flyover does not store anything. This issue was present also in MyFacebook Connect 3.6 back in 2.x times, but I solved it in the 3.x series.

The issue has been added to Flyover development. Thank you for your contribution!

can you provide a direct link with pop-up that works?
This isn't working flyover.php?action=login&provider=Twitter&popup=1
not sure why, because same link works in login window

Cool, so maybe february it will work?

If you want to use the popup mode on links manually added outside the modal, you've got to add this piece of code to the link itself:

onclick="flyover_login(this); return false;" 
So your link should look like:

<a href="http://normsbookclub.com/MyBB2/flyover.php?action=login&provider=Twitter&popup=1" onclick="flyover_login(this); return false;">Login with Twitter</a
Note that &popup=1 is still necessary for it to work. I may update this behavior in 1.3 using CSS classes instead, which seems quite easier for users to customize.

works. For some reason I don't see new replies when they're on a new page... dunno why.
Anyhow - great work!!
