Change name of Payment methods

Would anyone be able to tell me how I can change the name of the payment methods in my Payment methods choice screen? I have three at the moment, PayPal IPN, Check/Money Order, and "Checkout with PayPal" (Express) but I think its a little confusing to the average consumer, they may not know what "PayPal IPN" means.

I would like to customize these to read "PayPal Express Checkout" and "Use your Credit Card with PayPal - No account Required" or something like that.

Where would that code reside??

Thanks in advance.

Ed

Re: Change name of Payment methods

Go to the Tools ... Developer's Tool Kit ...

In the bottom input box type in what you want to change ...

This will show you all files with that text that you can then override ...

Re: Change name of Payment methods

On this note- I'm not getting any text at all next to the radio buttons on my checkout page? I have a Linkpoint module installed, enabled and working as well as Check/Money Order but I just see a couple of radio buttons with nothing to indicate what you're selecting? Where is this supposed to be defined?

Re: Change name of Payment methods

You may wish to peek in the:
/includes/languages/english/modules/pages

The define file for the language definitions is the same name as the payment module that you are using in the:
/includes/modules/payment

And matches the lowercase name next to the Payment Module in the Modules ... Payment ... of your Admin ...

Re: Change name of Payment methods

All necessary values in the includes/languages/english/modules/payment files are fine, they look to have been set from the beginning. However, there appears to be nothing in the PHP code of includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_checkout_payment_default.php
to even show the payment option names next to the radio buttons? The attached jpg is what I see-

Re: Change name of Payment methods

I was able to add some code to display what I wanted. Maybe I somehow accidentally deleted some lines or something. Thanks anyway tho
