    Default Change "Categories" to "Products"

    Hi,

    I'd like to change the title of a drop down menu from "Categories" to "Products", I can't find it anywhere, it's not a sidebox which is what I tried originally. Every time it thought I had the answer it does something different, wasted hours on this and then gave up.

    My website is http://www.beehivesupplies.co.uk/

    Any help would be appreciated

    Many thanks

    Ross

    Default Re: Change "Categories" to "Products"

    That constant:
    Code:
    // categories box text in sideboxes/categories.php
      define('BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES', 'Categories');
    is defined in /includes/languages/apple_zen/english.php.

    If that file/folder doesn't exist, create the folder /includes/languages/apple_zen and copy the file /includes/languages/english.php to that folder before making your template-override changes.

    Default Re: Change "Categories" to "Products" (top menus, not sideboxes)

    Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately those headings are not sideboxes, that was the first thing I tried having read the many forum threads on it.

    My code in: /includes/languages/apple_zen/english.php.

    is already:
    // categories box text in sideboxes/categories.php
    define('BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES', 'Products');

    I haven't been able to find out what those headings are actually called, hence it is difficult to find the solution.

    Cheers

    Use your admin's Developers Tool Kit and search for dropMenu (using a mixed-case search, if provided in that oldy-moldy ZC1.5.1 version).

    That will identify the file(s) that are creating that dropMenu div and will subsequently point you to the language definition.

    Thank you for the replies, I have finally found it , I had not used the developers tool kit before.

    After searching for dropMenu, I downloaded the tpl_drop_menu which I had looked at before, but found HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES within the text when I searched for this I found it in /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

    Changing: define('HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES','Categories'); to define('HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES','Products'); finally solved it for me.



    Many thanks
