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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Hi Shade
When I setup MyBB I deleted the default profile fields and setup those important to our requirements. That said that data is not typical. What data can I import from a Flyover registration? I'd really like birthday, email as example. How do I do that?

The list of data points available is here: Flyover documentation. Not all providers use all of those. It's noteworthy to mention that most big providers such as Facebook have started restricting access to personal information in strive for privacy; you can still request them, but you will have to go through validation on their developer websites before requesting access. As an example you can read How to configure (the late part about scopes).

You can still fill your custom profile fields with Flyover's data by assigning them in Flyover's settings. With the latest update you can also customize CPF on a per-provider basis in each provider's settings page.

The email is known to be problematic at the moment due to some incompatible naming within the plugin, if you ask, so I'd advise against using it for now. Other data points are synchronized just fine.
