None of the free ones have all those features. I'm not even sure the pay ones will send people away from your forum like that - is that really what you want?

Last pay chat I checked out was http://www.addonchat.com/features.html .

sorry my english is bad (google translate is my friend) :erm:

There is a small trick.

First the chatbox to view the forum. Then look at the page source code and copy part because of the chatboxcode.

for vbulletim cms:
Create an html widget and insert the html code. that's it.

for vBadvanced CMPS:

Create a new template (for example: adv_portal_chatbox) and then insert the html code
then under-vba CMPS: Add module (module template) and then integrate the new template (in my example the adv_portal_chatbox)

when the chatbox is displayed in the forum - for example, under the navbar, you can put your browser to view the source code of the page.

You will have to find where the code begins with the chatbox and then stops

Example: When I start the chatbox code like this:

HTML Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="text-align:left;"><tr><td><br />

		<div class="blockhead" style="height:16px;padding-right:4px;font-weight:bold">
			<span style="float:right;">
				<a class="collapse" style="margin-left:15px;position:static" id="collapse_vsacb_boxswitch" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="http://www....de" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</span>
			<div class="popupmenu" style="float:left;">
				<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">ChatBox&nbsp;</a>

and ends with:

HTML Code:

		VSacb_readCookies();
		VSacb_getMessages();
		
		
		
	-->
	</script>

I added the chatbox, then updated a custom style and now my chatbox window is darker than I'd like.

I can't find for the life of me to change the color. Couldn't find anything in the additional.css, style vars, etc.

Any ideas?

TombstoneWarrior · #**2207** 02-14-2012, 01:31 PM

is there a code i can change on the chatbox to match the backround of my style?????

S@NL - BlackBik · #**2208** 02-14-2012, 04:08 PM

The chatbox is using existing stylevars.
Specificly the blocksubhead variables (background, border etc).

rickwade · #**2209** 02-14-2012, 09:34 PM

I need to change the color of the input box and it needs to be different then the color specified in the ".textbox, textarea, select, #vB_Editor_QR_editor" css.
I have been trying different things for a week now and cant get it to change.
Can someone please let me know how to change this without changing every thing else on my template.

Thank you

S@NL - BlackBik · #**2210** 02-15-2012, 12:55 AM

You can do this by altering the "vsa_chatbox_input" template.
Just add a style background element that has the color that you want.
For example:

Quote:

<input type="text" class="primary textbox" name="vsacb_entermessage" id="vsacb_entermessage" style="width:100%;font-size:{vb:raw vsacb_textsize};color:{vb:raw vsacb_color_default};background-color:{vb:stylevar blockrow_background.backgroundColor};" onkeydown="if (event.keyCode == 13) {return VSacb_postMessage(vsacb_post_form);}" onkeyup="VSacb_LimitChars('vsacb_entermessage', 'vsacb_counter','{vb:raw vboptions.vsachatbox_charlimit}');" onfocus="if(!this._haschanged){this.value=''};this ._haschanged=true;vsacb_submitbutton.disabled=fals e;" <vb:if condition="$vsacb_cantpost">disabled="disabled"</vb:if> value="{vb:rawphrase message}..." />

"blockrow_background.backgroundColor" is the styleelement I used, but you can also pick another one.

rickwade · #**2211** 02-15-2012, 08:44 PM

That is not working for me. It is still the same color - any other ideas?

Can i just use a color like #fff instead of using the stylevars for background color?
