He has been thanked for it. Especially by me lots of times and yes he has done a wonderful job with this mod. My concern was its been a year and its not even in the Modifications section yet.

Of course we all thank him for his dedication. But we would like to have him spend a little more (just a little more) time on this.

Hey Playboy, I do actually agree with everything you have said, and I feel quite guilty.

I dont have any excuses to give, cause I dont really have any. But I am definitely still work on it.

- a language file
- an official release
- buttons
- a solution to king-castle problem (i cant make king-castle)

Pretty much dead on and all point are the current main priorities.

All I is that I'm nearly there, and will have a new release shortly.

Ok, tonight I got around to fixing up the bbc code for the next version.

What new? well its actually fixed now, displays the grid correctly which is a good start, and have a blank square in the first grid is good as well

Also ive added the ability to flip the board, if you prefer to have black below.

on top of this, you can now highlight any square on the board using '!' which will be in the new highlight color option

example

Code Select Expand

[chess=black]rn!bqk!bn!r/p!pp!pp!ppp/!131!3/8/8/8/PP!PPP!PPP/RNB!QKB!NR[/chess]

[chess]1n!bqk!bn!r/p!pp!pp!ppp/!131!3/8/8/8/PP!PPP!PPP/RNB!QKB!NR[/chess]

I added in the feature request to change the chat area to either log, chat or both.
This means, ive removed the option in the settings to show log. Reason for this, is because your selection is saved when you switch between.

Also added an experimental preview button in the current matches page.
Basically, when you click on the link, a tooltip is used, and the board is pull using ajax and displayed. Code is similar to that used in the bbc
This should allow quick viewing of the board, if it works well, ill be adding it to several other places.
Should come in handy, once i get around to putting in the tournament

p.s. Ill alter this format as I go along, but I think this might be a good way to stream out updates, just with a quick post of whats been added, similar to a blog.
This way well 1/ you know I'm still working on it   2/ You can suggest/or question these updates/changes

I have installed a new theme (Back-n-Black) and cant get the Chess option to show up. How can i edit the theme? I have used the SMF parser package but the Chess button isnt in the correct place and the chess board isnt showing up correctly. Any ideas?

For manual theme changes, head here
http://www.leaderless.net/PackageParser/index.php?show=theme

Its possible that the button code is different for blacknblack theme

What do you mean the chess board isnt showing up correctly?

By the board i mean teh square colours. I can see the pieces but the board appears to have gone awol

[Chopper]

I seem to be getting somewhere now. The only problem i have is the board doesnt show at all?

[Bigguy]

Have you tried changing the board color with the sliders in the admin panel. Maybe they are set wrong.

[Chopper]

I have tried that bigguy to no avail im afraid

[Bigguy]

Sorry to hear that. Almost any mod that touches the template files you will have to do manual edits for. Does it all work on the default theme. Have you made sure that any template files that the chess mod uploads during install have been moved to the theme you are usings folder.

It's a Theme specific CSS problem , you will have to find the correlating code in the style.css file in the themes folder
