I seen it. Dont know of a way to make it work though. Would admin declare a game a draw? Does a draw result in a win or loss for both players?

 Thank you for your reply Wormopolis  The problem I and other players seem to have is if a forfeit or direct win isn't achieved and both players agree to a draw, well the white bubble remains up at the top and tells you that you have a move to make, when you haven't as a draw was agreed.

Just annoying the bubble remains with incorrect information. So you sign in to play chess - it says in bubble you have 5 moves to make when in reality you may only have 3 because two games have not been forfeited just agreed it's a draw. 

Any way around of making bubble display correct information - that is why I asked about having 'a draw' option. 

I have two games still appearing in my white bubble at top that are no longer in progress; I can't seem to get rid of it. So frustrating.  Can you fix it?

admin should have ability to edit the notifications of each player. They can simply just delete those particular games from each players list.

Im not against adding in draws.. Im just not sure HOW I would do it. I could make a button that one player clicks to declare a draw, and the othe rplayer clicks to agree, and both players get half a point... but what prevents players just opening game after game and declaring draws just so they could build up their point totals?

Maybe have the draw option only become available after a certain number of moves, you could either pick an unchangeable number yourself, or have it be adjustable in the plugin...i.e.:

Draw option becomes available after ___ game moves.

And again, if draws had their own stat, separate from wins and losses, that would likely mitigate any incentive to pad stats with draws.

In-Progress Games



VS. Knightmover 54 days, 21 hours, 20 minutes, 55 seconds

VS. ScotchMist 22 days, 8 hours, 45 minutes, 49 seconds

I already deleted the games above to see would the chess notification clear Wormopolis and still it's showing up in my chess notifications that the Games are still in progress saying I have 2 moves to make, but I haven't as the games are gone and I deleted them. I went into my Notifications and nothing in there about chess notifications just the regular Quote, Tag, Follow, Friend etc. notifications unless I am not doing it correctly? 

It would be a help to just agree a draw and not even bother about a half point if that makes it easier for you to create the draw button or you feel players would declare draws just to build up points.  It doesn't bother me not getting half a point for a draw. It would be wonderful if you could just create a draw button or as adminabp suggested only can have a draw after so many moves. Up to you really how you would like to do it and thank you.

What should happen if one player attempts to declare a draw, but the other player doesnt accept?

go to one of your games where it shows your name at the top and your rank.  click the box with your name.  it should bring up your notifications box.  click one of the games it says its waiting for you to move that you want to delete.

Wormopolis yes I did that and it states:

VS. Knightmover 54 days, 21 hours, 20 minutes, 55 seconds

VS. ScotchMist 22 days, 8 hours, 45 minutes, 49 seconds

So when I click on either game it states:

Oops, there was an error!
The thread you are trying to access could not be found.

The above is correct because I did indeed delete the games, but they are still showing in chess notifications.

They just won't go away, which is very frustrating.

Hey Wormopolis

whenever I create a new chess game, the title shows up twice, like I mean the title is repeated twice in the thread title.

No, not the menu link.  in the game itself where it lists the players at the top.  click in one of those boxes.

hi

Is there any chance we could get rid of this code in the facebook posts ?

Virgil Sovereign did the same for the vsoundcloud plugin here Finally worked out how to do this link as text :)  


If this could be done easily i'd love it, and we're just talking to some big hiphop chess federation who do work for charities, so i said i could help and just want the posts to look a bit more professional.


Happy buy year btw    


edit: the code hasnt shown in this one for some reason but its there. i think it because of the embed size or something ;P

[Wormopolis]

Its showing in that because the post itself has that content in it since the moves exceeded 50. It was the only way I could save the moves without causing a key overflow.

Wormopolis what do you mean I have 2 version running, I have 1 chess system and 1 chess notification companion.

I cannot replicate this.  Are you POSITIVE you dont have another chess plugin in the list?  the function only runs once per plugin, and sice I havent put out a new version in quite a long time, it wouldnt have been something that the plugin just started doing on its own (unless another plugin intercedes or the core code changed).
