Today we are going to show you where to go to customize BIM 4.x.x Shoutbox.
(NOTE: Do not copy and paste the HTML code as your version may be different and have slight code differences; Just find the section that is highlighted in blue and put whatever you desire.)
"You can copy and paste the CSS Stuff though"
1. First go to your site/forum -> Login to your AdminCP.
2. Next go to Customization --> Themes --> Your Theme --> Edit HTML and CSS.
3. Then Open Templates --> bimchatbox --> front --> chat --> main.
This is where you will change your ShoutBox Title name and rename your rules tab to whatever you want.
Switch out this HTML code to change your ShoutBox Title
<div data-controller="bim.chatbox.new">
<h2 class="ipsType_sectionTitle ipsType_reset" id="elChatbox" >
<ul class="ipsPos_right ipsList_inline ipsList_noSpacing">
<li>
<a href="#" class="cbBtn" data-action="toggleSound" data-ipstooltip="" title='{lang="chatbox_togglesound"}'>
<i class="fa fa-volume-up"></i>
</a>
</li>
{{if \IPS\Application::load('bimchatbox')->can_Manage()}}
<li>
<a href="#" class="cbBtn" data-ipsDialog data-ipsDialog-forceReload data-ipsDialog-url='{url="app=bimchatbox&module=chatbox&controller=chatbox&do=config"}' data-ipsDialog-size='narrow' data-ipstooltip="" title='{lang="chatbox_management"}'>
<i class="fa fa-wrench"></i>
</a>
</li>
{{endif}}
</ul>
<div>{lang="Rename this to whatever you want your shoutbox title to be"}</div>
</h2>
Next we will change the rules tab. This is also in your main.html file.
Simply look for and change the following.
<div id="elChatboxContent">
{{if $ann}}
<div class="cbAnn ipsClearfix">
{{if settings.chatbox_conf_anntab == 1}}
<a href="#" data-ipsDialog data-ipsDialog-forceReload data-ipsDialog-title='{lang="chatbox_rules"}' data-ipsDialog-url='{url="app=bimchatbox&module=chatbox&controller=chatbox&do=chatrules"}' data-ipsDialog-size='narrow'>
<i class="fa fa-bullhorn" aria-hidden="true"></i> {lang="Rename this to whatever you want your rules tab to show"}
</a>
{{else}}
{$ann|raw}
{{endif}}
</div>
{{endif}}
If you want to change text color and what not then follow these steps below.
1. First go to your site/forum -> Login to your AdminCP.
2. Go to Customization --> Themes --> Your Theme --> Edit HTML and CSS.
3. Open CSS --> bimchatbox --> chatbox.css
Find the following and Place with whatever Hex Color you want. (replace the #7FFFD4 with your own color)
(Below is the color of the ChatBox Title)
#elChatbox { margin-bottom: 0px !important;
background: transparent;
color: #7FFFD4 !important;
}
(Below is the color of all Text-Input before pressing enter)
.bimcb_chatInput {
width: 100% !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
margin-top: 2px;
height: 36px;
padding: 8px;
border: none !important;
background: transparent;
color: #7FFFD4 !important;
}
(Below is the color of all text entered into the ChatBox)
#chatcontent {
width: 100%;
color: #7FFFD4 !important;
}
Hope this is straight forward and helps others customize their BIM ChatBox
