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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Several questions on new install

This issue is marked as solved
I just installed Bankpipe on my forum but I have a couple questions:

1> I found out that the discount feature is not displaying correctly on the cart page but will work on the final cost...just to make sure I am doing it right, what is the proper format to enter the percentage in the settings? Say I want to take 25% off, should I enter 25%, .75, 75 with no decimal or what?

2> Is there any way to link the Bankpipe page to a link in the menu? I'd like to have a link in my nav menu "Become a VIP Member!" so a user could click it and go to the page with the different package offerings.

I'm sure I will have more questions but thats it for now!

1. Just enter the number. It will be calculated as a percentage. It's not displayed and this is a bug, but it's applied correctly upon checking out on either PayPal or Coinbase.

2. You can add a link pointing to bankpipe.php. The markup would be:

<a href="bankpipe.php">Become a VIP Member!</a>
You can place it in your header template or wherever you find it most appropriate. Note that the upcoming beta 8 will feature a standalone page so even guests will be able to see the upgrade page (but not finalize as guests of course). You will be required to change the link in the future.

Sounds GREAT! Any idea on Beta 8 ETA? I'm already looking forward to it!

Thanks for the prompt replies!

I am not a fan of ETAs as I am a student and got many things to do. Developing is something I do in my spare time whenever I can. I've been working on beta 8 for some time now, Symposium drifted me temporarily away, but I will be back on it soon. You can follow its development here: BankPipe development.

Sounds good! Looking forward to it!

I'll be trying out Symposium on my forum soon!

Thanks,

Is this normal after moving members over to payment history? None of the purchased packages show on the chart.

This might be a bug. Did you use the manual subscriptions tool?

I used the SUBSCRIBE USERS tab.

It should show the subscription's name and its value (if the subscription is still available). I'll check the logic there.

Just wondering if the discount amount listing has been fixed with Beta 8? I am still not able to see any discounts except for coupon codes. Maybe I am entering the discount amount wrong in the package options?

Also, is there anyway to import all the "Items Purchased" descriptions into the Payment history page after I manually added them? (discussed above^)
