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

Hi ,


When I try to make any change on "Chess Settings" I got this error :

An Error Has Occurred!
The database value you're trying to insert does not exist: value

SMF 2.0 RC2 fresh install.

Any ideea ?
Thanks

I solved that database error just using installScript.php from the original mod. I find my problem and everything it`s  ok now.

@MATTEK  make sure you have chessblock folder in your root directory

busterone

mghome59 - Glad you got it sorted. :)

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. . .

I did upload it to my root. However, I'm not sure if I should have unzipped the chessblock folder before uploading.

Yes, unzip it on your computer, and then upload the unzipped folder.

MATTEK

That is what I have done.  >:( Crap. I'm going to delete everything related to SMF Chess and start over.

That isn't necessary. Just find the zipped file you uploaded and delete it. Then upload the unzipped folder to your forum root.  As long as your actual chess game installation is working, that is all you need to do.

The folder is currently uploaded and unzipped. It has always been unzipped. I have never uploaded a zipped file/folder to my forum root.

OK. Is your forum installed in the root of your webspace, or is it installed in a folder with a name like "forum" ? I am just trying to verify where your index.php is.  I know I may sound like I am grasping at straws here, but I am simply trying to understand why it does not work for you.

I've got it working. I reinstalled everything in order, properly. Thanks for the help man.

Have you tried to uninstall the chess mod, then reinstall it to see if the new install will rectify the error? You will not lose any player or game data. All that info remains in the database even after an uninstall. The new install will use that same db info.

What version of SMF are you using? If 1.1.x, are you using a custom theme? The 1.1.x version only installs to the default core theme. Any part of this mod that relates to theme must be manually edited on any other themes besides the core. If you are on 1.1.x, revert to the default to see if there is a chess menu button.

Yes thank you for the response,

I got it finally, I had to run the setup for the tables again and it all fell right into place. I do however have a new issue and I think it is from another mod that I am running. I made some adjustments to my Ajax ShoutBox, mostly cosmetic to match the theme of my forums? I edited the shoutbox.css file and it worked out great but now every time I open chess I have to maximize the window and then restore it to get the pieces to line up again?

Mine has been that way since the first time I used the mod, both V1 and V2.

 stipchaser - look at the shoutbox css and the chess css to see if there is an element with the exact same name in both. Just a wild guess, but it is possible. if one element is defined differently in two places, there may be a conflict.

Try to turn off some scripts when you're using the chess action, because there are sometimes a few conflicts between visualization scripts. I did this by adding the code below in index.template.php right before the script I wanted to avoid when in the chess pages:

   if($context['current_action'] != 'chess')

Thanks I looked but could not find any. . .

OK I'll give it a go, this mod is a big hit on my site and it also took me a long time to install it properly. It has actually taken down my site more then once lol! But I love this mod and I really appreciate the assistance.

The Chess MOD has itself a chat that works quite ok, so you won't actually need the shoutbox there. ;)
