When posting your challenges on BGG it can be a hassle to add all stars and no-stars to your lists. With version 4.4 of BG Stats you have the possibility to generate and copy the BBCode required to post a list on BGG.

Choose “Generate BBCode for BGG” from the menu on a Challenge page and paste the BBCode in your post on BGG. If you want to update your post on BGG, simply copy the BBCode from BG Stats, and replace the current block of code on BGG.

The sorting of the generated BBCode lists match the sorting on the Challenge page.

There are three different options that are available with the different templates:

Alphabet challenge

For the Alphabet Challenge this will look as follows:

All letters of the Alphabet will be displayed, with an empty star if no game for this letter is played and a filled star if game for that letter is already played. The name of that game will be displayed as a link to its BGG page and the date that the game was played is also shown.

Play x games y times

For the Play x games y times Challenge this will look as follows:

All game names will be listed as a link to their BGG page. Behind that a number of unfilled and filled stars will be shown equal to the Y in this challenge.
