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>&nbsp;&nbsp;{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

Thank you mate! Well written! All my job already is already working pretty well!

Glad to help - hopefully soon I'll get more free time and get some more tutorials going.
But either way our Staff and members do a damn good job at helping everyone with issues or customizing their own boards.

Kudos to our IV staff and members!
