Can I change the wording of a title-bar?

[ffs]

Forum URL: theotherfrenchforum.freeforums.net

By default a title-bar, and its representation in the navigation tree, is called Recently Updated Threads; I have linked to that with a navbar link named Active topics (which members find easier to understand) - can I change the name of the title-bar and the associated nav-tree detail, and, if so, where and how, please?

Hi

You can make a couple of template modifications to change it in a couple of places. So open up your Layout Templates.

admin > themes > layout templates

1. Home

Look for the following line, which should be around line 42:

<tr><td>$[recent_threads_link] - $[recent_posts_link]{if $[rss_feed_link]} - $[rss_feed_link]{/if}{if $[mark_boards_read_link]} - $[mark_boards_read_link]{/if}</td></tr>

Change that to:

<tr><td><a href="$[recent_threads_link.href]" class="$[recent_threads_link.class]" style="$[recent_threads_link.style]" title="$[recent_threads_link.title]">Active Topics</a> - $[recent_posts_link]{if $[rss_feed_link]} - $[rss_feed_link]{/if}{if $[mark_boards_read_link]} - $[mark_boards_read_link]{/if}</td></tr>



2. Board

Look for the following line, which should be around 15:

<h1>$[board.display_name]</h1>

and change that to:

<h1>{if $[route.name] == 'recent_threads'}Active Topics{else}$[board.display_name]{/if}</h1>

Lastly

Add the following to your global footer:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(" #nav-tree span:contains('Recently Updated Threads') ").text('Active Topics');
});
</script>

Any problems, let us know

Thanks, Craig, will try that later when I have more time.

No problem. If you run in to any problems with it, let me know

Works as it should, Craig, great stuff!

Mind you, one of the side-effects of these little additions to the coding is knowing/remembering where they all are in the future. Still, it's not a problem for the moment.
