Changing 'Contact Us' to 'Contact Me'

[mellonade]

My client is running a one-woman show and she will be the only one responding to emails/shipping things/making everything. She also would like to have a personal, intimate atmosphere to her site. I thought that changing the "contact us" text throughout the site to "contact me" might be a nice touch. I realize that this goes way beyond changing the name of the link in the Information box. I did a search through all the files in the site using dreamweaver and found about 20 instances of "contact us", ranging from functions to definitions to shipping and payment responses.

Can anyone tell me if it would be safe to change all these instances to "contact me" (or "contact_me" if the case may be)? There are some admin files (like zencart/admin/includes/languages/english/define_pages_editor.php) which may also need to be changed...

I think certainly you will need to make the changes from 'Contact Us' to 'Contact Me' in these locations:

/includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom_template/define_contact_us.php

&

/includes/languages/custom_template/english.php

and maybe your /includes/templates/custom_template/common/tpl_drop_menu.php as well, depending on your template. There may be other instances as well that I'm not thinking of but this would get you started

Good luck!

Changing 'contact us' to 'contact me' was actually a much more involved process than i thought it was going to be- about an hour longer than the one click i had envisioned. The reason for this is, in order to make my client's site look like it was just 'hers', everything that referred to the entity 'us' needed to be changed to 'me'. So i ended up changing every 'we', 'us', and 'our' to 'I', 'me', and 'my'. Additionally, I located every 'store owner' and changed it to 'me'. I found all these instances by running a dreamweaver search for each word in the entire site directory.

For anyone interested, the files I ended up changing were:
