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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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
Most if not all my plugins update templates automatically if they have not been edited; otherwise, you need to manually check the differences between your custom templates and their original version. You can run the built-in diff button in the templates list (under “Options”), or you can use something handier such as FASTyle 2.3’s diff tool, which I personally use and recommend.Thanks! I just uploaded faststyle2.2 and looked through the green highlighted bankpipe temps. I see what you mean, LOL! I have edited a few templates like where I added the side bar and such. My biggest issue would be seeing the $this bits...I would have no idea that they should be removed? I am self learning as I go but certainly no coder. I am a graphics guy by trade, LOL.
It’s tedious, but it’s necessary. Custom themes cannot be updated automatically because otherwise you’d lose customizations.
$this->lang becomes $lang, $this->mybb becomes $mybb, etc.Shade, I have installed a clean install of beta 8 and it added also $this-> object identifier to all templates, should I remove them only from those you listed or all of them?
