unable to change the 'Search' button name

[McLovin]

Hi guys,

I have the following problem.

I've recently added the Dutch language package to my ZenCart (v151) and everything seems to be in working order, with one exception. I can't change the 'Search' button name, no matter what I do.

I've changed the definitions of all the 'Search' buttons I could find, including the English ones (just as a test), but no luck.

define('BOX_HEADING_SEARCH', 'Search'); in includes/languages/english.php
define('BUTTON_SEARCH_ALT', 'Search'); in includes/languages/english/button_names.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); in /includes/languages/english/classic/header.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); in /includes/languages/english/header.php
define('BUTTON_SEARCH_ALT', 'Search'); in /includes/languages/english/theme671/button_names.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); in /includes/languages/english/theme671/header.php

define('BOX_HEADING_SEARCH', 'Search'); in includes/languages/english.php
define('BUTTON_SEARCH_ALT', 'Search'); in includes/languages/dutch/button_names.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); in /includes/languages/dutch/classic/header.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); in /includes/languages/dutch/header.php
define('BUTTON_SEARCH_ALT', 'Search'); in /includes/languages/dutch/theme671/button_names.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search'); in /includes/languages/dutch/theme671/header.php

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong..?

Generally speaking best to follow the posting guidelines (ie. perhaps a link to the site or discussion that on a local server and none of it is available via the internet).

Problem could be that the template is not using the language pack and is posting an image button that has the word(s) "search" in it. This might be possible to identify by looking at the webpage.

Sorry about that!

This is the link to my website: www.bonesfashion***.nl (just remove the three asterisks).

I forgot to mention that I had also inspected the code using Google Developers tools, but as far as I can see the element is CSS. This is what I got:

<input class="cssButton search" onmouseover="this.className='cssButtonHover search searchHover'" onmouseout="this.className='cssButton search'" type="submit" value="Zoek" style="width: 80px;">

And on mouse over:

<input class="cssButtonHover search searchHover" onmouseover="this.className='cssButtonHover search searchHover'" onmouseout="this.className='cssButton search'" type="submit" value="Zoek" style="width: 80px;">

I should probably also mention that I have the following packages installed:

- Dutch language pack. I've updated version 1.5 to 1.5.1 using the method explained here http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...er_translation (the language pack seems to be working fine).
- CK Editor 4.12
- A template.

And a Template Monster template at that. The SEARCH button is coming from the template's stylesheet_css_buttons.css (line 62) where a background image with the word SEARCH is superimposed on the text that's forced to a font-size of 0 (and gosh-knows what else).

I see! Thanks a lot! I'll play with it to see if I can fix it.

Are Template Monster templates bad by the way?

[McLovin]

OK, I've fixed it.

It wasn't too difficult thankfully. I just commented out the background URL images and put the font size to 5 and I added a grey background color.

Template Monster templates have the reputation of looking very pretty and functioning well until you attempt to add a plugin or make a "small" change (like you're doing). They have a tendency to re-craft many of the Zen Cart built-in functions and features (as you've found), making it difficult to change and/or debug.

What a STUPID LAZY method to add a custom search button..

Template Monstrosity templates SUCK.. (in my humble opinion..)
