Changing 'Manufactuer' in all files to say 'Author' instead

I set up my admin section so that all of my authors information went into the 'manufacturers' section. Now I'd like to actually change the word 'manufacturer' to say 'author', at least on the viewers side.

It would be great to have it change on the admin side too, but if that's not possible then I'm not going to worry about that right now.

Specifically, on the product listing page found here: http://www.eaglerockbooks.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=79_97

I'd like to change where it says Manufacturer in the first column to Author.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
KD :smile:

Re: Changing 'Manufactuer' in all files to say 'Author' instead

If you install the Products Books module, you can have a site that captures and displays complete book info. I just built one for a client. Look at it here

If you want to change Manufacturer, you need to use:

ADMIN>>>TOOLS>>>DEVELOPER TOOLKIT

... to search for the word in DEFINE statements in the language files.

Re: Changing 'Manufactuer' in all files to say 'Author' instead

Is that also how you got the search boxes on the left hand side? I've heard of this module before, but due to strict ways my client wants to format his info pages... I'd want to turn off most of the features in the actual product info pages, yet be able to have some kind of search box on the side that allows people to search by author, ebook format, etc. (Maybe 3-5 fields total)

Can I do both of those with this module?

BTW I really like the way you've put together your site, and thank you for the tip on the language files. :smile:

The book_product module is very flexible. You can display/hide practically whatever features you want to in the respective Product Type "Edit layout" console.

Positioning the sideboxes is simply a matter of setting your preferences in the Layout Boxes Controller under Admin>>>Tools

Hi schoolboy, Can you tell me where I can find the Product Book Module? I've searched in the free add-ons section, couldn't seem to find it, unless I missed it.
Thx
