SMF Chess Block Code

[Jakki]

Its okay I reloaded my SMF stuff. Errors gone, web working. NO arcade and other stuff yet...at least I didn't lose the important things my memebers.

[Jakki]

OK, redid page and got chess added and working, now just have to find someone to play with...LOL

[Lord Anubis]

Well glad you got things back up and running

[Jakki]

[Lord Anubis]

I think that SMFchess is a very cool mod :up:

[lurkalot]

So do I.   Had three people playing me at once last night.

I must learn to play it properly now.

Been tweaking around again and came up with this

Instructions:

1. Download THIS FILE, and unzip the package
2. Upload the folder "chessblock" to the root of your forum
3. Insert the code below into a PHP block (CENTER)
Recommendations:
* Put it for custom action chess so it isn't shown throughout your forum
* Don't show title/frame
4. Enjoy!

global $scripturl, $context;
echo '
<img src="/chessblock/chess.png"/> <a href="', $scripturl ,'?action=chess"><font size="2">My Chess Stats</font></a> |
<img src="/chessblock/challenge.png"/> <a href="', $scripturl ,'?action=chess;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';sa=challenge"><font size="2">Challenge</font></a> |
<img src="/chessblock/matches.png"/> <a href="', $scripturl ,'?action=chess;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';sa=current"><font size="2">Current Matches</font></a> |
<img src="/chessblock/matches.png"/> <a href="', $scripturl ,'?action=chess;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';sa=finished"><font size="2">Finished Matches</font></a> |
<img src="/chessblock/leader.png"/> <a href="', $scripturl ,'?action=chess;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';sa=leaderboard"><font size="2">Leaderboard</font></a>
';


Or what I did was used the code below in the ChessCustom.template.php

}

Very cool. I added a "My Settings" (sa=settings) link to mine. Not sure if you left that out on purpose.

Not to stray too far, but how hard would it be to add a challenge block? This would be a block just displaying current challenges. Something along the lines of:

Chess Challengers:
Petee (Classic)
Lord Anubis (Dark Chess)
Feeble (Distinction)

[Lord Anubis]

I left it out because it was taking too much space on my current theme

hmmm I dunno how hard that would be, I will look into it

[pauls_uk]

To use this block code, you must first have the SMFChess Mod installed
(This mod is made by Feeble, any support for mod should be answered at the SMF site)



Here is an easy way to have all the SMFChess user functions in a block
