Released the First Working Chessboard Module

2006, August 21 - 4:14pm — vyvy

I have restructured my site content so that the pages are properly organized. Hope that I would be able to update my blog more frequently now.

Finally have wrapped up a version of chessboard module for Drupal that works satisfactorily. Making the online help to be XHTML-compliant took me some time. Making the output to work with the CSS strict mode took me some time too. (I think I should document this CSS stuff in another post soon. The workaround I found may not be good enough.) Here's how it shows a typical smothered mate:

[chessboard](d3TR) -rk Npp --- [/chessboard]

I'm still a bit confused with the CVS's branching and merging. Need to study more. Anyway I've made a branch to be released for Drupal 4.7.x. The tarball is not updated (automatically) yet at the moment. Hopefully I have done the correct things and the latest tarball will be ready soon.

Chessboardmodule

Hello!

I saw the php routine a few days or weeks here ago. You had example pages and i took your code and embedded it in a first release for use with dokuwiki. You did a great job! Would be nice if you develop in a way that i can use your code for the dokuwiki plugin in the future.

i remeber the additional features for highlighting specific fields and want to add the information into my description but i can't find the pages anymore. It would be nice if you can send them or the web-address to me.

If you are interested: http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:chessdiagram

I have optiomized the images in space usage. You can download and reuse them from the page above.

bye
