I'm unable to install the chessblock correctly. I'm connected with my FTP now. Do I unzip the folder before uploading the images and do I upload them to the chess package?

EDIT: I've uploaded the unzipped package to my forum root. Now the instrcutions tell me to insert a certain code in a PHP block. Where can I find the right PHP block that this needs to be inserted to?

[busterone]

Upload the unzipped package to your ./packages folder, not your root. Then install it through your package manager in admin.

[MATTEK]

The entire mod or chess block? I need the images installed, not the mod. The mod works fine. Every time I upload the unzipped chessblock to my package directory nothing changes.

[busterone]

Sorry. I misread your post. The chess block is for a portal block from what I get out of reading the instructions. The code you insert into a block is what you would insert into a custom PHP block in any of the portal mods (the mod page says Tiny Portal, but probably will work with the others as well). I have not ever used it myself. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

[MATTEK]

Back to the original question: Where can I find the custom php block? Modify Themes or through my FTP?

[busterone]

It is part of the portal admin IF you have a portal installed. It will be in the admin control panel. Do you have Tiny Portal installed? The mod was written for it specifically. It may be made to work with Simple Portal as well, I have not tried.

Wow. I'm starting to hate running a website. This does not work. I added a custom php block, entered the code and nothing happens.

[busterone]

That block code was written for 1.1.x.
I got an error on RC1.2 when I attempted it.

Here is an alternate block code that will work for either 1.1.x or 2.0
create a custom html block instead of php- insert the code below, changing yourdomaingoeshere to your domain.

<img src="/chessblock/main.png"/> <a href=

Hey man, I got this error with that code.

create custom html block  

[busterone]

Yep, your image shows that you inserted that code into a custom php block. The code I posted is straight html. Insert it into a custom html block, and it will work.   

[mghome59]

Yes but on 2.0 RC2 only the first link its ok. (?action=chess). The nexts redirect me to login page.

[MATTEK]

Did not work. I see no images on my chess page.

? I am not sure what you mean by images on your chess page. This will only create a small block that you can place anywhere in your portal, it will not place anything in the actual chess game itself. If the chessblock folder was uploaded to your forum root, this will work. I have tried this on 3 different installations. 1 RC1.2, 1 clean install RC2, and an upgraded RC2.

You mod is not installed correctly. See above post. I have it working on 3 diff smf installs. Your previous post gives the indication, although I can't say what went wrong.

He has images in his chess block.

[busterone]

Ok, I understand you now. Did you upload the entire chessblock folder to your forum root? Those images are in that folder and are referenced in the block code as this- <img src="/chessblock/main.png"/> etc. . .
