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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

This issue is marked as solved
How to remove the ability for a user to set a price on attachments?

Also anyway to change prices to USD?

1) to restrict who can use the paid attachments feature, go to BankPipe settings and set the "Usergroups allowed to manage" setting to whatever usergroups you want to manage paid attachments

2) to change the currency, go to BankPipe settings and change the "Currency" setting

3) if it tells you that credentials are wrong you might have entered, well, the wrong credentials. Please screenshot both BankPipe configuration and your PayPal sandbox credentials on PayPal developer site

4) no, a business account is not needed

Also:

I am trying to test the sandbox stuff but when i put the credentials in to login with papal from the website, it says the info is wrong when it is right.

For the future, to use Bankpipe, you need to have a business paypal account I assume right?

@KingAlmond was using his standard credentials to try buying into Sandbox mode. This is not permitted by PayPal, as he has to use a sandbox buyer account specifically designed for sandbox mode.

On a side note, what I said earlier was incorrect: PayPal forces you to have a business account to accept payments.
