SMFChess

[Paracelsus]

Gday Guys, Long time.
First off just wanted to apologies with how I handled the mod. I can't promise it wont happen again as I'm in my final stretch for Uni.
But I'm sorry none the less.

I've cleared my head over the last couple of days redesigning my experimental site (not for ie users) and reading through the past pages....
Whilst updating I accidently deleted the package parser. So some are now broken, but I think SMF site has them in their mod site now, so no biggy.

Im not going to make to many changes to the current mod which is compatible for SMF 1.1.6 unless you request.
I want to turn my attention to updating it for SMF2.

So basically just bug fixes for 1.1.6
and Full Changes for SMF2.

Bug fixes for 1.1.6 ie SMFChess
-Dark Chess
Anything else?

for SMF2 ie SMFChess2
-Scrapping Scriptaculous - should make speed improvements, help with different sites but no effects
Anything else? still a big job


Keep in mind this is just words, but i'll try and get it done.

Glad to see you back feeble.

I think DarkChess bug is probably the only major bug fix that needs to be done in 1.1.6 version, other than that and you should probaly invest your time in v2.0 conversion.

I just tried your version 1.1 (fresh install) on my 1.1.6 forum

and got the following:

23.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/index.template.php     Test failed

I am using a modified Tropical theme

I just tested it on a fresh 1.1.6 installation with no issues.

I am not too sure as to how to check for changes

you can take a look at the changes SMFChess produces here
http://www.leaderless.net/PackageParser/index.php#index.template.php

if you still can't fix it by yourself let me know

[PacificWx]

tbh i would not entirely know what it means...

i will try again next weekend (time is aainst me as well)

[Godsongz]

Wow, a new version of SMFChess!!  Great to have you back around Feeble!

[Bluben89]

I installed the latest version of this mod on my forum (version 1.1.6) and immediately when i went to go back to the package page I got this error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare create_smfchess() (previously declared in /home/official/public_html/Sources/Subs.php:3747) in /home/official/public_html/Sources/Subs.php on line 3908

Everywhere else i go on my forum i get that. No one else can get on either.  I uploaded the the .zip file to the packages and then I installed it. the error occured after I installed. I have access to the cpanel still and I deleted the package through there. But i still get the error. Im pretty sure i screwed up really bad. Help would be much appreciated

[Godsongz]

Just removing the additional files added by the mod won't remove it completely, as there are edits to several SMF stock files as well.

Check in your subs.php file...  look for the line

Code Select Expand

//Create SMFChess Board
the function that begins with that line is about 150 lines long, and it sounds like somehow it got inserted twice???  Where there any errors during the install of the mod?  Anyway, see if you can edit out the second instance.

Hi,

Installed the mod using the mod installer. I see the chess button on my admin console but no one else sees it,, do I need permissions set somehow?

[Godsongz]

In Admin | Permissions, there are three permissions available "Access to Chess", "Allowed to Challenge", and "Admin Access".  Make sure your Regular Members group (or whoever you want to let play) has access to the first two.

THanks found it

[Bobn]

Hi,

It stalled it perfectly on one of my boards, wont go on the other here is the error but I have 777 permissions on the packages folder:

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

2: mkdir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10253 is not allowed to access /home/jamestownceilidhband.com/httpdocs/forum/Packages/temp owned by uid 48
File: /home/jamestownceilidhband.com/httpdocs/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 1232

[feeble]

Since it worked well last time, I do it again

Straight clone ready for SMF2 can be downloaded here
Demo can be seen here(Not the best demo site, since its an experimental theme, works fine in firefox)

There might be still a few issues since I haven't tested it much so I wouldn't use it on a live site. Or use it on a live site and let me know if there are any issues. Up to you.

Installed according to manual updating instructions.

I've already asked people in my forum to try it out. I'll get back to tell you how it went.

[weightman]

Feeble, I followed these directions (and overwrote old versions) but the chess mod is till listed in package list as 1.0, not 1.1. Anything to worry about?

Thanks
