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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Flyover 2.4

Flyover 1.3 is out


This is a bugfix and feature release. It adds 3 new templates and alters all the existing ones.

Changed API endpoint


I have managed to introduce a new API endpoint for Flyover to simplify it and avoid exposure to the inc/plugins folder. The new API endpoint is managed through /flyover.php file. You MUST change all of your provider applications with the new API endpoint URI to ensure your users can continue to log in with them. Otherwise, they will be presented an error page most of the time with a "redirect URI must match the one registered into the application"-like error.

You can find the new endpoint URI in every provider's settings page.

Custom and required profile fields


Although they were sneakily introduced in 1.2, now custom profile fields and required ones at registration are supported officially; your users can now register through a social network while still being required to fill some fields before doing so.

Migrator from other plugins


You can now migrate from other well-known plugins offering login with social network capabilities within Flyover's module. A migration section is added for your convenience; the currently supported plugins are:

Multiple accounts


Ever wondered to log into multiple accounts with one social network? Flyover now lets you link your social network account with multiple MyBB accounts and lets you choose one upon logging in with ease.

Discord integration


Discord has joined the big family of supported providers. It has been tested successfully and it's ready to be deployed to your website.

New data points


2 new data points are available: website and identifier. You can now set up custom profile fields to accomodate the user's identifier, while the website is synced with MyBB's user website field. The whole engine behind custom profile fields and data points has been revamped and it will be far more easy to create new ones in the future.

Minor bugfixes


Thanks to your usage and reports, I have fixed all minor bugs you've been spotting through these awesome 2 years. The complete list of fixed issues will be updated in the next couple of days.

To update your running Flyover copy:
  • perform a complete backup of both your files and your database;
  • download a new copy of Flyover from the first post. You can download the core package without downloading providers, but it's recommended to select your currently installed providers to perform a clean update, especially if you come from versions prior to 1.2 of 4 August 2017 in which I released an update to HybridAuth;
  • upload the new files. When you are done uploading, load a page in your admin control panel. You will be asked to run an upgrade script;
  • enjoy!

Please report any errors you may find when using the new version and I will be glad to assist you into fixing them as soon as possibile.

Flyover 1.4 is out


This is a bugfix release. Thanks to @Jack Batch I have found and fixed some critical issues affecting some environments. In order to clean up the versions available due to some hotfixes released in the past months (and some issues with my git environment), I have decided to set a new minor release.

To update, simply replace the old files and run the upgrade script to update the version number.

Flyover 1.5 is out


This is a bugfix and security release. It is highly recommended to upgrade as soon as possible. It fixes:
  • 3 reported issues in servers with MySQL's Strict Mode enabled;
  • Facebook's deprecated user permissions;
  • a medium risk security vulnerability which as part of a responsible disclosure won't be explained to the general public. If you are a subscriber and want to know more about this issue, please PM me.

Special thanks to @Quinn Humphreys and @Jack Batch who helped me spotting them.

To upgrade, simply overwrite the old files with the new ones and run the upgrade script. As always, if you encounter any issue please report them either here or in a new thread, thank you.

PUBLIC ADDRESS LOUDSPEAKER Flyover 2.0 is out


Flyover 2.0 is out. This version features a code rewrite from the ground up and has been tested thoroughly for more than 1 month before being officially released.

FIRE Library update


HybridAuth has been updated to version 3.0 RC9, the latest available, with performance and error management improvements. This is a giant leap as it marks complete independence from every providers' own SDK. Some providers have been added and some have been discontinued. Continue reading to know more.

WHITE HEAVY CHECK MARK Custom scopes


Every provider can now be tweaked individually with custom scopes. You can add or remove scopes intelligently depending on what your application needs to retrieve.

BLOSSOM New ACP panel


The ACP panel overview has been revamped with new and more intuitive graphics. It now sports an users usage statistic and a faster access to tokens as well.

PENCIL New redirect URI


The infamous redirect URI has changed towards a simpler, standardized structure. You will need to change the redirect URI of every provider's application you are currently using right after updating Flyover in the control panel.

WARNING SIGN Refer to Flyover documentation in order to build and use the new redirect URI.

Other notable changes


The following list of new features have been added:
- new providers: GitLab, Mailru, Odnoklassniki, Spotify, WeChat, Yandex;
- new data point for synchronization: language;
- Suggestion: Disabling mybb login/registration in 1.6.

Critical changes


The following list of critical changes have been applied:
- WARNING SIGN minimum requirement is now PHP 7.1;
- WARNING SIGN dropped support for accounts without an email: from 2.0, users are required to specify an email. The emailless and passwordless option has been renamed Passwordless mode;
- WARNING SIGN some providers have been discontinued: AOL, BeatsMusic, Deezer, Dropbox, LastFM, PayPal, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Vimeo, 500px;
- WARNING SIGN Microsoft has been renamed WindowsLive;
- WARNING SIGN popup mode has been discontinued due to chronic instability.

It is highly recommended to try version 2.0 on a test board before deploying it live, which is encouraged anyway. Export your tokens and perform a database dump before upgrading Flyover.

Upgrading to version 2.0


The upgrade process is straightforward:
KEYCAP 1 delete /inc/plugins/Flyover
KEYCAP 2 upload the new version maintaining the same folder structure as in the release package
KEYCAP 3 run the upgrade script when asked in the ACP
KEYCAP 4 rebuild Flyover's cache from Configuration > Flyover > Rebuild cache.

Templates and stylesheets have been changed accordingly to reflect code changes. Being a major release, lots of edits have to be made. For your convenience, a diff comparison is attached to this post in standardized git format.
