Multiple games via drop-down menu #168

Hello,

Thank you for your RPB chess widget!

I found your widget beautiful, but had to switch to Pgn4Web since I must have a multiple games via drop-down menu for my chess website. Once this feature is done, I will be happy switching to RPB.

Thank you,

Agree, I was quite surprised that drop-down was not there.

Hi, This feature is frequently requested, see also #93 . I haven't find any time to implement it yet.

Hi!

I just found your plugin and it looks fantastic for single games. I'd be also very interested in the multiple games option!

Thank you

Several users have been requesting this feature for quite a while now (see also in other issues #38 and #93). Obviously, considering that the goal of the plugin is to allow representation of chess content in WordPress pages/posts, there are some important use-cases that cannot be addressed because of this feature is missing: think especially of publishing the games played in a tournament or an event.

On the other hand, considering that this plugin has been developed on my spare time so far, I've never been able to dedicate enough time to develop this feature. And unfortunately, spare time is not infinitely extensible... ;-)

For this reason, I've decided to launch fund raising campaign on kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yoann-le-montagner/rpb-chessboard-game-list-visualization

The idea is to collect a rather moderate amount of money (1000 EUR), in order to fund a few days of development. Considering the number of active installs of RPB Chessboard, it should be possible to reach this objective if all the people that benefit from the plugin accept to donate a few euros. In return, I undertake to devote the time that needs to be devoted to implement this multiple game feature during this summer (it will be paid-time then, thus more easily allocatable than spare time !).

Thank you beforehand for your contribution.
