Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on 2020-12-30 CET How to delete a Game Courier Setting file on our own page? I would like to delete "Zanzibar-S1" that I've made and I don't know how. Thanks

Same question that I re-asked few days ago.

Jean-Louis Cazaux wrote on 2021-05-23 CEST I would like to delete several entries on my page of Game Courier Setting File:

Zanzibar-S1

Zanzibar-S-prov

Jetan-of-Barsoom

Chess

How can I do that? Thank you

If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me. Thank you.

Nothing has been set up to let you delete settings files. So, I did it for you.

Thank you Fergus

I decided to rename Futashikana Shogi to Dai Shosu Shogi. I would like the game's corresponding pages, https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/futashikana-shogi and https://www.chessvariants.com/play/futashikana-shogi changed to https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/dai-shosu-shogi and https://www.chessvariants.com/play/dai-shosu-shogi, respectively. I would also like to have the Game Courier presets for Futashikana shogi deleted. I have already transferred their code to presets for Dai Shosu Shogi.

@Adam, we normally don't like to rename Items that have been around for a while (your rules page being from 2019); while we can automatically update comments, favorites, index entries, tags, and possibly groups (am I missing anything?), anybody else who has linked to your page would find their link broken.

I'm open to feedback on how best to manage this sort of thing. One possibility is to create a new Item with the new name, we can move over the references in the database I've mentioned, and leave the old page with just a link forwarding to the new page (possibly even an automatic redirect, though I'm not sure if that'd work in a member submission view script).

I finished the new pages. All I need to do now is move the files in the old Rules page over to the new one and update the image links for the pages that use them.

The database has a RelocatedPages table. Just add an entry that includes its old URL and its new ItemID, and the 404 script will take care of the details.

I decided to rename Futashikana Shogi to Dai Shosu Shogi.

While it has apparently been done, or is in the process of being done, I would like to advise against renaming in general. When you release a game, it takes on a life of its own that may extend outside of this site. While I was working on the taginfo.php script today, I was testing it with the Ai Ai tag, and one line on the page was displaying as empty. When I tracked down what was causing this, it was the ItemID for Futashikana Shogi. Apparently, someone has programmed Futashikana Shogi for Ai Ai, where it remains known by that name and not by the name Dai Shosu Shogi.

Additionally, the name has been changed without updating the RelocatedPages table. This table should have a row added to it for each page whose URL and ItemID both change. It may be done by editing the table in PHPMyAdmin, which the main editors have the URL, userid and password for.

When the page gets rewritten, it should mention the original name and why the name was changed.

After thinking about it, I decided to cancel the renaming of Futashikana Shogi. Please delete both presets for Dai Shosu Shogi.

It looks like someone has taken care of this.

In this game I cannot move my rooks : https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Chinese+Chess&log=catugo-cvgameroom-2021-269-200&userid=catugo

Thanks for reporting this. Although I'm doing most of the development over on the other server, I do copy over changes toward the end of the day after they seem to be working, and then it's Europeans who are the first to encounter any bugs I may have introduced into the code, because they start the day earlier than I do.

The bug here is preventing the Rook's legal moves from being displayed, but it does not seem to be preventing you from manually typing in the move and making it. I will now look into this and try to fix it.

This is now fixed. In one line of the rays operator, I was using !empty() instead of isset(), and that's what introduced the bug that affected the operation of rays from some spaces.

Thanks,Fergus!

The Game Courier presets named Dai Shosu Shogi are still there. They can be deleted as they are basically clones of the Futashikana Shogi presets.

Okay, I deleted them and the database entries for them too.

I would like the following presets deleted:

betzatest (Yangsi) - This preset was accidentally saved during a test of H. G. Muller Game Code Generator for his interactive diagrams, and is no longer needed.

default2, promotest (Suzumu Shogi) - The promotest preset was made in an attempt to resolve the server-side multi-move promotion bug, and is no longer needed. The default2 preset was made during the final phase of experimentation trying to find a good starting position for Suzumu Shogi, and is no longer needed now that the starting position is finalized.

There shouldn't be any game logs using these presets, as they redirect to the correct presets, so they should be pretty easy to delete.

Okay, those are deleted.

The settings files themselves seem to be cleared, but the links to them are still showing.

I would like to have the abstract preset for Dragon Chess deleted.

I cannot access the Edit script for the Taishin Shogi preset to fix a problem that has popped up.The error that shows is the following:

Syntax Error on line 1157

The case includes whitespace in it. Are you missing a colon after the case label?

There is a double space in between +fy and rd on that line. It should be a single space, but I cannot access the preset editor to fix the error. Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: The same error pops up in the Hook Shogi preset, albeit on a different line.

@Fergus: I cannot edit any of the Game Courier Setting File I have written. I get no error message. The page I get is blank. Could you please check what's wrong? Thank you

@ Fergus

On my Settings Files page, my enforced version of my 'Officer Chess' (enforced preset made by my modifying 'Very Heavy Chess' rules enforcing preset by Greg Strong, made for Jean-Louis) is currently showing as 'enforced [0]' instead of 'enforced [5]'.

Maybe it's not important, but I'm wondering why that would be. The 'enforced' version of Officer Chess seems to work so far, based on my tests in 'Move Mode' for the preset, at least.

That's weird. I just saved rules-enforced Officer Chess preset one more time, without making any changes. Now it shows up on my Settings Files page as 'enforced [5]' instead of as '[0]'
