v2.0.0 submitted to library

You can now PLAY chess against an opponent

Im not perfect, so if you find a bug let me know. I tried to put in some stuff to support older IE browsers, but if you are running IE6, its time to consider your life choices.

I just downloaded and installed to my test site and i have the wrong black pieces as well.

EDIT: I went in to the settings and changed the names so they are correct, but you might want to make that change so others don't post about it.

Aslo, What does the General settings tab do? There is nothing there, I don't understand why its even there. just curious.

I can't wait to try this out!

I swear I thought I fixed the wrong piece paths but I guess I didnt save defaults.  so yeah I just did again...


general settings is just a place holder for when I decide to put in some options.  you cant change the tab order after you create them, so its just holding a place right now.

does play game work for you?

Wormopolis, playing with this now. Thus far, when I click "play chess" next to create thread, it does have the username part pop up and I can successfully pick someone, but once I click OK nothing happens.

well what it is supposed to do is generate a new thread...  Im assuming you have permission to create threads in whatever board you are in...  is the button next to "play game" changed at all?  because if you changed it, it might not know where it is to triger a click on it...

I haven't had a chance to try it out with anyone yet.

watch what happens if you try to play against yourself.

This would make a great feature request, how hard would it be to add drag and drop tab reordering during build mode?
Make the about tab undraggable if Proboards wants that always first?

Wormopolis, one feature I would love to see is the ability to flip the board when sitting as the black player or better yet from either player's perspective. Some people need to "see" the move from a familiar and/or different perspective in order to make an informed final decision, most game UI's accommodate board flipping for this reason. I know your plate is full but I am quite excited about the great strides this plugin has made plus it feels good requesting (I could get used to this)

I agree so heavily that I travelled back in time and requested it already!

Nothing happens that I noticed.

I have been trying to test it with another member but he says he gets no button. I tested it with my test account and I get a button. It doesn't show him and being on mobile we have been pm'ing so rule that out.

He had me start a game and I selected him as a player, and I made the opening move, but that is as far as we go. I have no clue what is going on or what might be happening.

[Wormopolis]

he is on mobile?

[Wormopolis]

Chris I will look into that.. I suspect I can use CSS transforms on the div itself.. hopefully.

otherwise it will have to wait until I can clean it up because I dont think I have anymore characters left in the JS section in order to add anything.

blc do they have a computer they can try? maybe this just cant run on mobiles?

No. When he posts or messages on the mobile it will say it above the message. He wasn't on the mobile at the time.

He was on his computer. Being a plug in I figured it wouldn't work on his mobile so that was the first thing I looked for.

ok next question is going to be what browser? I have tested this on IE8 and 9, Firefox, and chrome

I checked and he is using IE 11

[Wormopolis]

Oh geez.. umm.. yeah have him try running in IE9 mode to see if it shows then. Im not sure if I want to update to IE11 yet...

you said you started a game, did it create the post and everything for you and can he see the thread? does it show him a board in the first post?

I forgot.. I checked it earlier with IE 11 on my system and it was fine at least as far as I could go. I left the thread in place. I just don't know what its supposed to do or how its supposed to behave.

I even asked him if he had pop ups blocked. But, he didn't reply back on that question.
