Change public chat theme
« on: August 05, 2013, 08:41:11 PM »
Hi!

First of all great work on picking up the project again. I've just updated to 1.6.5.

I've been able to change the admin chat theme but how do I change the public chat theme?

Could be that I'm just being a little 'blonde' right now!  ;D

Okay, an update.

For some reason when changing the style in Settings it's not changing the front end style, only the backend.

If I change the URL

http://frantik-web.co.uk/webim/client.php?locale=en&style=original&url=frantik-web.co.uk/pages/contact.php&referrer=frantik-web.co.uk/

to

http://frantik-web.co.uk/webim/client.php?locale=en&style=silver&url=frantik-web.co.uk/pages/contact.php&referrer=frantik-web.co.uk/

it loads properly.

The top link is what loads when someone loads the chat from the site.

I've double checked Settings and it says silver there.

Any ideas?

Well, it seems to me, that Mibew works as intended. It just do what you told him to do and not what you want him to do.  :)

If one explicitly specify the chat theme this value overrides the default system settings.

Just try to re-generate Mibew button. Or at least skip the style=original part from the URL.

Ah! Of course! I didn't realise that it specified in the button code... working now :D
