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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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
2 and 3 are great ideas. Added to BankPipe development.Glad to hear. I mean can we have a page named for example subscriptions.php or something like that, instead of having a usercp.php action page. A fully separated page for it only.
I am not sure about the first one. You can already tweak templates and achieve something like that. If you want to have different things listed on a subscription basis, you can add your HTML in each subscription's option (it's named "HTML description", so it's pretty straightforward).
So it can be seen also by guests you mean?It should be permission based in ACP. Selectable usergroup array for groups which can access to that page. It's for better readability. Instead of having UCP page with `bankpipe.php`, why not having `/upgrade.php` or `/gateway.php` page with subscription options without sidebar as well since it's not UCP.
I can't take all third party plugins suggestions, otherwise BankPipe will need to be updated every time a third party plugin is updated as well. I think I will just create a core module to create items with a couple of hooks there, and publish bundles for each third party plugin on request (including Newpoints).Sounds like a great idea.
