in any template. Is this step not needed? How is it showing up without adding this to the template?

If its not needed, does adding it to the template provide any benefits?

Hi all,

In the installation instructions, theres this line:

The chatbox seems to work without putting

PHP Code:


		
			
{vb:raw vsachatbox}

This is if you want to show Chat and in other places of your forum.
If you don't its not needed... you use "Position on page (Disable if you add ChatBox manually in templates)"

Don't change usernames or other. that's how its supposed to be.

Thanks but that affects more than the background in the Chatbox.

I will use "red" as the background color to which we wish to change. You can add CSS selectors to your "additional.css" template(s)...you will need to do so for each style in which you want the change.

If you wish for this new background color to affect the message input area, add:

HTML Code:

#vsacb_entermessage {

        background: red;

}

If you wish for this new background color to affect the message display area, add:

HTML Code:

#vsacb_messagearea {

        background: red !important;

}

If you have a lot of styles, and you want the same change to all of them, and you don't have a master parent style with all other styles as children, then let me know and I can give you a plugin that will make the change to all styles (so you won't have to make the edit a bunch of times). :)

Thanks for your help, Mark - very much appreciated. We don't have too many styles that we can't adjust for the background.

The main outstanding issue is with the colour of the date/time and ordinary usernames. Ideally to only affect the Chat and not the rest of the styles (If possible). [Only paying members display their usernames - ordinary members are still in white and thus tend to disappear into the background :D ]

Try something like this then (change "black" to the color you want):

HTML Code:

#vsacb_messagearea td span span {

        color: black;

}

Ah !

Whoops.

Spoke too soon, that change prevents messages being posted on the Chat ?! Refresh is Ok, though.

That's odd...I don't understand how a CSS change prevents messages from being posted, and it has no effect on the ability to post messages on my local dev board.

I agree, very strange behaviour - something else may be happening that I'm not aware of.

Thanks again....
