Help - how do we customize phpchat in Dreamweaver?

[robertgarcia]

Not very technical but our nonprofit group has a website and we have not linked the chat rm yet because we can't figure out how to edit so it matches our theme and "fits" in with our website. The pink and purple colors are way too different for what the rest of the site looks like. We use Dreamweaver MX to edit our site but when open the chat pg itonly shows a tiny yellow box that says php - any clues? Thanks!!

g... i guess that's because phpchat is more PHP than plain HTML. you should use a text-editor like ultra edit or switch to the source code view in dreamweaver.
Anyway... most likely you won't be able to edit the chat templates like a normal HTML page. in application like this you have to look out for variables (constants) that define the look and color of the app. Also watch for HTML-code snipplets embedded in the PHP code.

I customized phpMyChat and it was quite a bit of searching until i found the code that i needed to change.

Thanks, Trexx! I will try tonight to switch to the "source code view" in DW...I hope I will be able to edit there if I can find it. I appreciate the clue!! 🙂
