This is for all who want to change anything in shoutbox without affecting default style (like background, colors ....)
one css only for shoutbox

So lets start:
first upload this 3 files in attachment in your templates/mg_themes

after you will need edit style_shoot.css as you wish ( now its like in my pics )

for example open this mine style_shoot.css


in this line you can change background of your shoutbox

Note: I removed mostly lines which are no needed , but there are still lines what are not important to shoutbox!

IMPORTANT : Don't mishmash style_shoot.css with any other css in mg_themes ,edit only lines in style_shoot.css for changing in shoutbox

few screens



and this is pic where bottom is repaired for Sarakin --> http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&p=32999#p32999



If you use this , use it at own risk (backup your original shoutbox_body.tpl and shoutbox_view_body.tpl)

Stuff : I don't know where to post this , so i posted here , you move wherever you want , or if you think that this is not good just delete it..

Thanks :wink:

Looks great! Moving to Customizations.

Thank you Limun

can u show me in pic what you mean ?

Probably talking about the field where you input your text to be displayed.



If that's the case, here is how you do it.

Open: shoutbox_body.tpl.

Find:



Change the numbers in size="25" to however long you want the text field to be. :)

If you modify anything as you have done with the shoutbox, then you would need to add the .css markup to the style_*.css even if it does mean that you have to add new classes to the .tpl files. Then it would be a modification and not an Add-On.

The way you have it at the moment, if you change mg_themes, the shoutbox remains the same, unless one is prepared to edit the shootbox.css (sic) every time they set a different default mg_theme. That of course does not help anyone who just uses a "Different" style. :(

You also don't need to re-import all of the other .css files or have so many redundant or duplicate blocks in the shootbox.css (sic), that at the moment would only overwrite what has been imported previously.

In other words - Change the shoutbox classes as required and add them to the style_*.css for each theme.

Because what you have done is to take something that is / was fully integrated into mg_themes, and made it so that it is not.

It would also be prudent to move this topic to "Other Mod Support" until it is integrated properly with mg_themes, and all unwanted, and incorrect markup is resolved.

awsome, thank you both of you Limun & Chaotic.

sorry Lopalong, you and I posted at same time.

It doesn't work fine for me, maybe some edition of mine crashes this mod.
