It turned out that, by design, gadgets can only be inserted in the sidebars and outside of the post content. Just on the contrary, I wanted my posts to contain the chess data so the whole concept didn’t work. Things might be different in case of googlesites where every page could have its own layout. I agree that it would simplify the installation even further.<br /><br />On the other hand, both deployment options that I provide here work with, practically, any Web hosting solutions. Also, the extension for WordPress blogs is very powerful and gives users an opportunity to be in full control of the software on their site.Nikolai Pilafovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695284688005658187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987865397659993107.post-23539793932936209332012-02-26T02:38:25.739-05:002012-02-26T02:38:25.739-05:00Thanks for your disponibity.

These are excellent suggestions indee...Hi FredJust,<br />These are excellent suggestions indeed. And thanks for all the links. I like this way of expanding PGN from inside the comments. I have two observations to make.<br /><br />1) Out of your examples it looks like we can ignore everything enclosed between [% and ]. If possible, I would rather implement that and preserve the square brackets usage as in “[Reykjavik, 1972]”.<br />2) PGN standard allows for multiple comments and CVD supports them nicely. If we make use of that we can define special comments as those enclosed between {[% and ]}. When recognized those can be ignored as a token (ie the whole comment). This approach will preserve the usage of square brackets in other comments. Most importantly, it will allow better compatibility with chess viewers that aren’t special-comments savvy. For instance, comments after move #20 in your example should be coded like this:<br /><br />{Le roi noir est sans defense face au surnombre des pieces Blanches.}<br />{[%csl Ga1,Ra5,Ra6,Ra8,Gd3,Gh5]}{[%cal Ga1f1,Ga1e1]}<br /><br />In other words, there’s no need of polluting the regular comments by mixing them with special ones.<br /><br />Obviously, the full support of this feature will require some serious work but filtering out the special comments is feasible. Let me know what you think.Nikolai Pilafovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695284688005658187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987865397659993107.post-29516918449384982452011-10-27T09:45:44.873-04:002011-10-27T09:45:44.873-04:00Hello

In fact, even in that case the code is rather old and is not the best way to provide feedback when Java is missing. It gets more complicated because APPLET tag was deprecated a while ago but browsers keep supporting it which makes things trickier with newer versions of Java.<br /><br />On the other hand, when the cloud-version of CVD is used the implementation takes care of the warning and modern browsers will prompt the user if Java is missing. In that case there’s no need for any extra effort.Nikolai Pilafovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695284688005658187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987865397659993107.post-13313918251866980182011-07-13T20:28:53.473-04:002011-07-13T20:28:53.473-04:00Hi Nikolai,

If you aren’t sure, maybe you should try the alternative way as I suggested in the “Installation” section above (the “cloud” version).

For example, I find it impossible to navigate using the mouse into a deeply analyzed game with many variations.<br /><br />Yes, board and background colors can be easily changed to your liking. Pieces are trickier but it’s not impossible. There are no ready-to-choose pieces that you can select from. You will have to work with the JAR file to achieve that. If you know how to edit/modify/resize and transform your favorite pieces into transparent GIF format, the rest will be relatively easy.
