## Descripción

Note: This plugin makes use of an external API that is to be found at http://imaginary-
realities.com/bggapi/. This is a service hosted via JustHost in the USA.

If you’re interested in using the [Meeple Like Us](http://meeplelikeus.co.uk) plugin
for your WordPress site, you’re in the right place! Most of you I suspect will want
it for the Boardgamegeek plate you can place on your site and have automatically
updated, but some of you might be keen on including some accessibility ratings in
your site. The plugin lets you do both – all you need to know is the ID of the game,
which you’ll find by searching Boardgamegeek :

See http://meeplelikeus.co.uk/meeple-like-us-plugin/ for usage details

#### Usage

See [The documentation on Meeple Like Us](http://meeplelikeus.co.uk/meeple-like-us-plugin/)

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Am I going to end up spamming BGG with this?

No! All the actionable information is processed on my server and cached – the first
site to ask for details of a game will result in a query being made against the 
BGG web service. Every other request will get the cached version for about twelve
hours. After twelve hours, the information times out – that means the results aren’t
real time but they’re going to be a lot more up to date than tracking and changing
it all yourself.

### I have a lot of traffic. Can your server cope?

Probably! Once you make a request against the server, it’ll cache it locally for
about six hours so that it is more responsive for you and less burdensome for me.

### Is this going to cost me money at any point?

No. I wrote this mainly for my benefit, and the BGG terms of use explicitly prohibit
the use of their data for commercial purposes. The benefit I get from the plugin
comes from users linking to the accessibility work I’m doing when they make available
a BGG plate on their page.

### Can I get rid of the link to your site in the header of the BGG info plate?

No – the benefit I get from the plugin being out in the wild is that I generate 
more awareness for the accessibility work we do on Meeple Like Us. There is no premium
version of the plugin that will remove that, but if there’s enough interest I could
investigate making one available.

### Do I need an account or something to use it?

No, although at some point in the future I might implement some kind of API key 
system to properly manage it at the server end.

### I have a feature request!

Drop me a message, but I can’t guarantee anything – I already have more projects
than time. Features primarily get added to the plugin on the basis of what benefit
they bring to my site. I’ll prioritise feature requests for those supporting me 
on Patreon.

### I have a bug report

Drop me a message!

### Can you help me set this up?

Probably not, sorry – I’ll make exceptions for Patrons.

### What if it messes up all my data?

It shouldn’t, but you know – buyer beware. I will give you a full refund for what
you paid if that happens.

### What if I link to a game that Meeple Like Us doesn’t cover?

It should fail gracefully – the BGG plate should just not mention it, and any accessibility
charts and tables will just be invisible instead.

## Registro de cambios

=1.6.5=

 * Fix for an infinite loop that I coded in like an idiot. Fails more gracefully
   now.

#### 1.6.2

 * Added support for [mlu_bgg_hob_coc]. This permits a site to link, with appropriate
   language, to the Hobbyist Media Code of Conduct if they wish to adopt it.
 * Added support for [mlu_label] which can be used to create arbitrary tabled divs
   in text that can be styled with already set CSS.
 * Various fixes.

#### 1.5.0

 * Added support for [mlu_rating]. For this, font-awesome needs to be available 
   on the site. It permits a five star rating scale, with halves, with a TLDR summary
   that can be configured in the options and at the level of an individual game.
   For example, [mlu_rating rating=2] or [mlu_rating rating=3 desc=”This is a three
   star game with a different TLDR”]

#### 1.4.0

 * Can now use the notes attribute in the bgg tag, such as [bgg id=1234 notes=”This
   is a game that I like”]
 * Backend API work

#### 1.2.0

 * Added search functionality to collections
 * Added a new shortcode – [mlu_scotlight]. It shows a searchable table from our
   Scotlight program.
 * Backend API work

#### 1.1.0

 * Added support for extracting BGG collections with [bgg_collection username=yournamehere].
   BGG has a delay on this though so the first time you try to do this you’ll only
   get a ‘please wait’ message until the request is fully processed. From that point
   on, caches should make sure that doesn’t happen again.

#### 1.0.0

 * Made the link to the plugin description under the table more discrete.
 * Stable enough to release as 1.0.0

#### 0.9.6

 * use-class attribute added to bgg_complexity.
 * Fixed a few small bugs with rounding.
 * Added the mlu_table shortcode – this will give you category stats for any of 
   the following: ColourBlindness, VisualAccessibility, Memory, FluidIntelligence,
   PhysicalAccessibility, EmotionalAccessibility, SocioeconomicAccessibility or 
   Communication. For example, [mlu_table category=”ColourBlindness”]

#### 0.9.4

 * New customisation options for localisation
 * Fixed a small bug with the mlu_radar chart
 * Added support for geo-localised shop front links (none yet)
 * Added the use-class attribute to bgg_rating. This will apply a div and a set 
   of classes suitable for CSS styling

#### 0.9

 * Various fixes
 * Many more options available in the settings menu – configurable text
 * Icon added to side menu
 * Several new short-codes for independent pieces of information – [bgg_rating],[
   bgg_rank], [bgg_complexity]. Can be used in-text.
 * External links now target _blank by default.

#### 0.8.4

 * Various fixes
 * new shortcode [mlu_master]!
 * Letter grades for mlu_table will now be coloured

#### 0.8.1

 * First release!
