Renaming "Child Categories" to "Subcategories"

zennifer

I run a community that is geared towards adults. We have Vanilla installed and our categories are organized how we need them, but the "Child Categories" wording feels odd to see on the site. It appears as if it is a section for children. Is there a way to change "Child Categories" to "Subcategories" or similar?

yes thru definitions

$Definition['Child Categories:'] = "SubCategories";

try without the : there is another definition

$Definition['Child Categories'] = "Subcategories";

peregrine

looks like it works now.

Thanks so much for your reply. I followed all of the instructions on the link you attached, but somehow the word "Child Categories" is not changing. My code is:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); $Definition['Child Categories:'] = "Subcategories";

But on the site I see "Child Categories" (see attachment). I cleared the cache .ini file as well as the cache in my browser.

peregrine

what is the name of the file you placed it in. and what folder is it located in.

and what page are you looking at. It changes on the Categories page for me.

post the contents of

cache/locale_map.ini

I created a locale.php file and placed it in the conf folder.

peregrine

post the contents of

cache/locale_map.ini

and does /conf/locale.php have read permissions?

[en-CA] 0 = "/home/rthejfoc/public_html/obpi-community.com/applications/dashboard/locale/en-CA/definitions.php" 1 = "/home/rthejfoc/public_html/obpi-community.com/applications/conversations/locale/en-CA/definitions.php" 2 = "/home/rthejfoc/public_html/obpi-community.com/applications/vanilla/locale/en-CA/definitions.php" 3 = "/home/rthejfoc/public_html/obpi-community.com/conf/locale.php"

The permissions on locale.php are as follows:

peregrine

it looks like its reading the locale.php fine.

and your locale.php looks good.

do you have a link to the page in question.

try adding as a test...

$Definition['Howdy, Stranger!'] = "Greetings, Stranger!";

to the /conf/locale.php

and see if the box changes when you are not logged in.

Howdy, Stranger!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

to

Greetings, Stranger!

I changed Howdy to Greetings and that did work. I have temporarily changed the permissions on my site so you can see the "Child Categories" in question. My guess now is that it is coming from a different definition?

You can view the site at -link-removed-.

peregrine

I can;t tell what url you are going to with your image.

post a link to your site and that page. with the brachial stuff.

zennifer

You can see it directly on the page at -link removed-. The phrase "Child Categories" can be seen under Canada and the United States (where subcategories of states are listed)

peregrine

try without the : there is another definition

$Definition['Child Categories'] = "Subcategories";

peregrine

looks like it works now.

zennifer

Bingo!

I want to change all occurrences of "Child Categories" so I assume I should keep

$Definition['Child Categories:'] = "Subcategories";

peregrine

I would keep them both.

Thanks so much for all your help, but it doesn't seem like I can edit the earlier posts anymore. 15 minutes has passed.
