How can i theme the shoutbox? - update: editing shoutbox.css only affects admim

me too.

Just edit shoutbox.css inside the module directory

I cannot see how editing shoutbox.css can help here because it is all rendered as a single div - the name and the message. There is a need for a tpl file in order to rendered it differently, and such file is not provided.

Thanks.

I am curious about this as well. The names and messages blend together too well. I would like to find a way to separate each message, either by making the messages bold, make the names a different color, or separate with a horizontal rule or background color (like they are on the archive page).

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks.

editing the shoutbox.css can be used to achieve what you're after - see what I've managed with it here:

you can override the function theme_shoutbox_post inside your theme template.php

I'm marking this as closed. This works as any other module. Either override theme_ functions in your themes template.php or add shoutbox css to your theme. If anyone needs more help, please reopen and ask.

Editing shoutbox.css only affects admin users. The rest users(authenticated) see the default configuration, rather than the edited one.

Any Ideas?

First, i think you need to be a little more specific about what you're trying to do. Second, editing the css will affect any user viewing your site. The css is always loaded. Thinking that the css loads differently for each users doesn't make sense.

I am having the same issue. Editing shoutbox.css has no effect on shoutbox in a block. Is there any reason for this? It also looks different when logging in as admin. I have no idea how to customise it. Can somebody give me some clues?

Here you can see my problem! This is with the standard shoutbox.css code...

I had problems with odd behavior of shoutbox.css (eta: for anonymous v. logged in users) that appear related to block caching and/or css compression. I copied the contents of shoutbox.css into my theme's style.css and copied the shoutbox /images folder to my theme's folder and it seems to be working fine now (after clearing the cache).
