Google Chrome Extension

EDIT :

L'adresse permettant d'installer l'extension est maintenant : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... imepllkacb
The address for installing the extension is now : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... imepllkacb

I made a page in bga wiki to list and explain the extension features.

Hello,

I've made a little extension for Google Chrome that adds a side menu to existing games to quickly navigate between players' boards.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... cfmignidoc

Only a few games are managed for the moment: Abyss, Agricola, Akropolis (this one already had a nice side menu, but I wanted to see if my extension could replace it), Architects of the west Kingdoms, Azul, Conspiracy, My City, Seasons, Thurn and Taxis, Villagers and Wingspan.

Don't hesitate to give me your opinion, or tell me if there are games you play that you would like the extension to handle, it's quite easy to add.
(In fact, if you have some knowledge in web development, you can even add games yourself in the extension options, but in this case please let me know what you added so I can put it in a future version)

Having trouble with it since the update. It keeps telling me I have 1 game when I don't, & it just keeps loading (showing the logo) without showing me my games list: https://i.imgur.com/3IhW9KR.png

Hello, I just made a test with Brave and I don't have any issue.
You changed something in the options of the extension ?

[Version Française en bas]

Hello,

an update is available, with the following features :
- left side menu to navigate through the players' boards (19 games managed so far ...)
- possibility to desactivate your friends status messages in the game log
- floating menu in the right side of the screen to display game log and players panels. The whole width of the screen is now available as a game area. I have tested a lot of games and so far it seems to work in all cases.

All three options could be activated/deactivated with a left click on the icon of the extension.

There are already some users but I haven't got any feedback yet :)
Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it, to ask me if you want to add a game for the left side menu ... or why not a feature that I wouldn't have thought of and that could be nice !

Bonjour,

une mise à jour est disponible, avec les fonctionnalités suivantes :
- menu latéral gauche pour naviguer entre les plateaux des joueurs (19 jeux gérés à ce jour ...)
- possibilité de désactiver les messages de statut de vos amis dans le journal de jeu
- menu flottant dans la partie droite de l'écran pour afficher le journal de jeux et les tableaux des joueurs. Toute la largeur de l'écran est ainsi disponible comme zone de jeu. J'ai testé pas mal de jeux et pour le moment ça semble marcher dans tous les cas.

Ces trois options peuvent être activées/désactivées par un clic gauche sur l'icône de l'extension.

Il y a déjà quelques utilisateurs de cette extension mais je n'ai pas encore eu de retour :)
N'hésitez pas à me dire ce que vous en pensez, à me demander si vous voulez ajouter un jeu pour le menu de gauche ... ou pourquoi pas une fonctionnalité à laquelle je n'aurais pas pensé et qui pourrait être sympa !

The change to remove the player panel and the game log was a surprise to me. I thought at first that BGA had changed the interface. Then saw a note in the Discussions forum. I don't like the change. In a game like Sea Salt and Paper I want to see both the player panel and the game log at the same time. I read that there is a switch to turn this off, though I disabled the entire extension. I think that this change should be made so that you choose to enable it, not enable it by default, otherwise there is sudden confusion like what I encountered.

you can disable this feature in the popup that is opened when you click the cloud icon :

see here : https://imgur.com/FIC2OGK

It's in french in the screenshot, but it's the last option.

I thought it was a good idea to activate this by default, because if I don't ... how will you know there will be a new feature ?
But I understand that you don't like it, that's why i added an option to disabled it.
Maybe i will improve this in a next version, i will try!

Someone told me there is a problem with the new feature about the floating menu in the right side of the screen, it hides the button to switch to the next table in turn-based mode.

So i will remove the feature for the moment, and I will reactivate it later when it will be fixed and improved.

I'm trying to implement the features I find interesting, but for the moment I've received almost no feedback, nor any remark... don't hesitate to tell me what you like in what has been done, what you don't like, what you'd like to see modified and added.
I do this on my free time, I gain nothing but the satisfaction of seeing my work appreciated ;)
