Comments/Ratings for a Single Item

When I go to any person information page and try to view unpublished submissions, it just shows my own submissions.

Okay, I corrected that.

On the page /index-test.html, I have augmented the CSS implementation of the color schemes with a JavaScript implementation. The CSS implementation works without JavaScript, but it requires the use of :has(), which earlier browsers do not support. The JavaScript implementation is working on both my Kindle browser and on both Chrome and Edge on my iPad 2, though the latter two require you to save your change before it takes effect. I don't think there are browsers more primitive than these that still need to be supported. By providing both a CSS and a JavaScript way to change the color scheme, this expands the number of browsers it will work well on. I plan to add the code for this to the site tomorrow. In the meantime, try it out and let me know how it works for you, particularly if you have some older device I am not using.

many of these shatranj images have transparent backgrounds so they are hard to see with dark themes

Also, the king description text for Great Shatranj is always black regardless of the theme.

The color scheme code I was working on yesterday and into today is now on the site. As I mentioned before, it will now change the theme with JavaScript as long as JavaScript is enabled. This is done mainly as a backup for older browsers that do not support :has() in CSS. It uses both JavaScript and CSS to change the color scheme so that if one method fails, the other one might still work. Generally, the CSS method will fail on older browsers, and the JavaScript method will fail if someone has JavaScript disabled.

One new feature is the Print color scheme. This is a more minimalist version of the Light color scheme. I may make a logo for it with some of Tenniel's black and white illustrations from Through the Looking-Glass, though I'm open to other ideas. For now, it uses the same logos as the Light color scheme.

Internally, I have moved the color scheme CSS to colors.css, where it is better organized and more maintainable than before. First, it creates individual custom properties for each color in each color scheme. The light ones begin with --light-, the dark ones with --dark-, etc. Since it has to define each color scheme multiple times for different selectors, it defines them in terms of the individual custom properties already created. So if I decide to change a color, there is now only one place it has to be changed.

Also, this provides page authors with the ability to customize color schemes for a particular page. By adding a style section in which you add custom properties to :root, you can rewrite individual values for particular color schemes.

I have now done that except that I cropped and divided one illustration instead of using two separate illustrations. Also, most of the small piece images I used are based on characters Alice encounters in Lewis Carroll's books.

That looks like my Viking up there. :)

When I go to any person information page and try to view game reviews, it says "$forpersonid is an unexpected variable and was not given a value".

I have changed forpersonid to author in the link, and it now works.

The print color scheme now has its own small logo too. Since the big logo included 19th century black and white artwork of Chess pieces, I chose a more retro style that displays fairy pieces by changing the orientation of Chess piece images. According to a section of Anthony Dickins' A Guide to Fairy Chess, the inverted queen is the grasshopper, and the reclining bishop is the unicorn.

I noticed today in the comments section that Smess was being given the description for Take the Brain. So, I made some corrections to make sure that the correct description was given for the name it was paired up with in IndexEntry. In the comments section, the primary name and description should now be used. In queries of the database on the names of games, each description will now show up for the name it goes with. On the What's New page, the name should be the primary name, and the description should be the Whatsnew text if it is available. Otherwise, it will fall back to using the primary description. All of this now works correctly for Smess, All the King's Men, and Take the Brain, though I have not tested other games with multiple names.

Game Reviews are the same as Comments.

The query string had the right parameters, but it needed to set gamesonly and ratingsonly to true instead of just including them. I corrected that, and it now works properly.
