Need to change *Products* to *Items*- how?

[thebeveragegourmet]

I would like to change the word *products* to *items* on one of my sites. They are all documents that are free to download so "product" doesn't sound as good as "item".

Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to update each and every php file with "product" in it?

Thanks

Go to includes/languages/english.php
or includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

and find the following section:

// whats_new box text in sideboxes/whats_new.php
  define('BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'New Products');
  define('CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'New Products ...');

  define('BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS', 'Featured');
  define('CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS', 'Featured Products ...');
  define('TEXT_NO_FEATURED_PRODUCTS', 'More featured products will be added soon. Please check back later.');

  define('TEXT_NO_ALL_PRODUCTS', 'More products will be added soon. Please check back later.');
  define('CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ALL', 'All Products ...');

Just alter where it says products in the second part of the definition.

For example, change this:

 define('BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'New Products');

to this:

 define('BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'New Items');

HTH!

Do NOT edit includes/languages/english.php or all your changes will be lost with the next upgrade/update.

Sorry about that - you're absolutely correct!

[sarahmichelle2472]

It's in the same file. Search for:

 // constants for use in zen_prev_next_display function

All the defines are there.

Mary Ellen is correct, however. You should create an override file unless you want to be doing a lot of WinMerging with the next update :)

thanks..I appreciate your time!

Thanks...I'll try that

How about on a category for example. I open the category and on the bottom it says:

Displaying 1 to 10 (of 12 products)

can that be changed to read items?
