I think the compact is better for inline games...

I agree. Compact would be preferable when posting the games in forum threads/posts.

I like full better, especially for the variation tree. Also more room to see sgf comments.

FWIW, EidoGo displays fine on my iPad.

Yeah, I think I'm going to leave both as an option. I like the full version myself, but it does take up a lot of room.

Doesn't work for the optional Opera iphone application. You can see the variations tree, but not the board itself.

It does work, however, on the default Safari iphone browser.

Hmm, don't know if I'll be able to debug Opera for the iPhone. :? Any users of a non-phone version of Opera having any trouble?

Actually, I just realized that I'm using my enhanced version of EidoGo which has some compatibility issues with IE6. But IE6 users are a pox on the whole of the internets, so they can eat me. :twisted:

I actually had to upgrade from IE6 at work, just for purposes of viewing here... heh.

Working fine on Maemo (N900).

As you have it now, the poster can decide whether to use the small or the large version. Would it be possible to let the viewer decide which version to use? Something like a setting in the user control panel, switching between eidogo small and large (and perhaps even flash)... That way, everyone could use what works best for him.

@flOvermind: That would actually be pretty complicated. Right now, it uses BBcodes which are restricted to a very simple search and replace. It replaces this:

Code: Select all

[eidogo](SGF_DATA)[/eidogo]

with this:

Code: Select all

<iframe src="/eidogo-phpbb3/iframe-player.html" style="width: 423px; height: 621px; border: 0; overflow: hidden;"></iframe>
<pre style="display: none;" class="eidogo-compact">(SGF_DATA)</pre>

Having it replace conditionally based on a viewer preference would involve writing some actually modifications to the forum software, which would be pretty complicated and would make it harder to maintain the forum (e.g. doing upgrades for security fixes and whatnot).

So while I can't say that it's impossible, it would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

Ok. I must confess I don't know anything about phpBB, so I don't know how extensible it is. If you need to modify the forum software to do it, then it probably isn't a good idea ;)
