Hello at StackIdeas,

We want to change all places of "Friends" to "Connections" at EasySocial.

What will be the best way to do this? In the language file?

Please show us where to do it and what we need to change.

Thanks,
...Finn
hey Finn,

Unfortunately that was no any easy way to do this.

Perhaps you can try using override in this file -> JoomlaFolder\language\overrides\xx-XX.override.ini (follow your language code then create this override.ini file)

COM_EASYSOCIAL_TOOLBAR_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_TOOLBAR_PROFILE_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_SIDEBAR_TITLE="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_ALREADY_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_PROFILE_NOTIFICATION_TITLE_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_STREAM_CONTEXT_TITLE_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_STREAM_APP_FILTER_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_PRIVACY_GROUP_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_PLURAL="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_PROFILE_POPOVER_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_EMAILS_FRIENDS="Friends"

COM_EASYSOCIAL_PAGE_TITLE_FRIENDS="Friends"

APP_FRIENDS_USER_TITLE="Friends"

APP_FRIENDS_USER_FRIENDS="Friends"

APP_USER_FRIENDS_STREAM_TOOLTIP="Friends"


Hope this help.

Hi Mark

I just had a go at this myself. I changed the language set in Joomla, and the language set in easy social to both en-US and then created the file en-US.override.ini and nothing seems to have changed. Any thoughts?

Hey Simon,

Could you try modifying the file /language/en-US/en-US.com_easysocial.ini and see if these changes are taking effect?

Also, have you tried purging your cache?

Hi Mark

Sorry it's taken a little time to get back to you on this...Modifying the en-US.com_easysocial.ini file worked a treat. Is there anything I need to do to ensure that these changes aren't lost if the language files are updated?

Hey Simon,

You could probably go with the override feature. Take a look at my blog post here, http://stackideas.com/blog/how-to-override-joomla-language-strings
