If I use Language file to relabel Point to something else, would that be sufficient or there is a more efficient way of doing that?
Hey there,

I am not really sure what do you mean 'relabel Point to something else'. Do you mean you want to language override this 'Points' in the backend? https://take.ms/pGeTe

If I understand wrongly, can you provide us with some screenshots so that we can have a better understanding of it?

No need screenshots... Instead of calling them Point I want to call them another name... Stars, or Credits, or Rewards or whatever... where can I control that work Point being displayed?

Hey there,

You can language override the following language constants at Backend > Extensions > Languages > Overrides:

COM_EASYSOCIAL_HEADING_POINTS - Points
COM_EASYSOCIAL_DESCRIPTION_POINTS - You may install new points rules or manage the way points are distributed to your users here.
COM_EASYSOCIAL_MENU_GROUP_USER_POINTS - User Points
COM_EASYSOCIAL_TABLE_COLUMN_POINTS - Points

Thanks... and the file in the Overrides folder should also be called en-GB.com_easysocial.ini?

Hey there,

The file in the backend and frontend language override folder which are at JoomlaFolder/administrator/language/overrides and JoomlaFolder/language/overrides are called en-GB.override.ini.

Hey there,

I am really sorry that I was not clear enough.

According to your second screenshot that you shared, you have language override with the wrong format.

You need to language override with the following format for an example:

COM_EASYSOCIAL_DESCRIPTION_POINTS ="You may install new points rules or manage the way points are distributed to your users here."


Can you have a try again and see how it goes?

I am using this in the overrides, but still shows up as points:

COM_EASYSOCIAL_HEADING_POINTS="$ Rewards"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_DESCRIPTION_POINTS="You may install new points rules or manage the way $ Rewards are distributed to your users here."
COM_EASYSOCIAL_MENU_GROUP_USER_POINTS="User $ Rewards"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_TABLE_COLUMN_POINTS="$ Rewards"

Hey there,

Sorry, I thought you were just referring to backend only as those are for backend EasySocial's Points page only.

Based on screenshot that you shared, you need to language override the following language constant:

COM_EASYSOCIAL_POINTS_SINGULAR="%1$s Point"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_POINTS_PLURAL="%1$s Points"


Can you have a try and see how it goes?
