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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

MyFacebook Connect 3.6

Can you test the attached file? Replace inc/plugins/MyFacebookConnect/class_facebook.php with this one.

You should update PluginLibrary to the latest version which is compatible with MyBB 1.8.

Thanks for quick response. I have fixed plugin compatibility issue.
I have also replaced class_facebook.php file with the one you attached but that didn't solve the problem. I still get logged in as first person that registered via Facebook.

Earlier you were able to register normally as "Philip Kohen" because I was testing forum and removed all user accounts. So you were actually the first user that used registration method via Facebook. After that I have authenticated myself with my FB account and logged in as "Philip Kohen".

Sorry, my fault. Used an old patch. Here's the new one, please test it. Also, if you can head to the homepage's chat it would be nice, so we can talk faster.

MyFacebook Connect 3.1 is out


This is a security release. Users should update the plugin as soon as possible to prevent potential security issues!

Same hashed value bug addressed


A critical bug affecting 32-bit systems has been addressed. PHP's (int) casting truncate integers to 2,147,483,647 if it exceeds this limit on 32-bit installations. Facebook identifiers are longer (higher values) so they were always truncated to the same value, leading to potential security problems if the first user who logged in with Facebook had higher privileges inside the board.

Note that malicious users COULD NOT access the administrator panel, since MyFacebook Connect does not work on the backend side.

Special thanks to @AlexanderPep and @schedar for reporting the bug.

How to update


Unzip the package and replace the old files with the new ones. Running the upgrade script is not required if you are on 3.0, otherwise you'll be asked to execute it.

How to update guide is missing (link is broken). I checked changed files so from 3.0 to 3.1 just replacing files is enough, right? Thank you very much!

I know the link is broken, but the update instructions are stated into the release notes in the post above.

@Shade - what do you think - is possible to get avatars over https? I created an issue (GitHub)
