Description

Integration of lichess-pgn-viewer into WordPress.

Using Shortcodes

To use a shortcode, do the following steps:

  1. Enter on a new element /shortcode.
  2. Enter inside the element then the shortcode including the content of the following sections.

Basic View

 [lpgnv]1. e4 e5 2. ...[/lpgnv]

This is the lichess-pgn-viewer: allows to play through a game (including variations), printing the comments, NAGs, …

Using Block Level Element

NOT IMLEMENTED YET

You can use instead the following:

  1. Enter as block element /PGN Viewer for Lichess.
  2. You will then have a form with all options that are possible with the shortcode as well.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parameters are available?

The parameters the viewer understands are:

  • The content of the shortcode is the PGN itself. The viewer reads a lot from tags included there.
  • Additional attributes for the shortcode are:
    • fen: , default undefined.
    • boardstyle: , default ‘green’, available ‘blue’, ‘wood’.
    • orientation: , no default, then taken from tag Orientation. Possible values ‘white’ or ‘black’.
    • showclocks: , default true.
    • showmoves: <string|boolean>, default ‘auto’, others ‘right’, ‘bottom’, false. bottom is the same as false, and does not show the moves.
    • showcontrols: , default true.
    • scrolltomove: , default true.
    • keyboardToMove: , default true.
    • theme: , default dark, others are ‘light’, ‘solarizeddark’ and ‘solarizedlight’.
    • initialply: , default 0, shows the position after the initialPly move. Only main lines allowed.

The following code shows how to use some of the parameters in a page:

[lpgnv orientation=black theme=light]1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6[/lpgnv]

Where can I find more information about the implementation?

Have a look at the GitHub repository https://github.com/mliebelt/pgn-viewer-for-lichess and look there at the file package.json to get hints how to develop the plugin then.
