Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 29, 20204 yr Hi there, me again ... sorry, I have only just upgraded from 3.4 to 4.5 and have to do about one million settings and configurations. I noticed something ugly on the index page. There is a title section on top of the forums listing which just says "Forum" (and then on the far right there's the button to create a new topic). If you are in an actual forum with topics, one level lower, that block will show the name of that forum (or subforum). But on the start page it makes no sense whatsoever that it says "Forum". Well yes, the whole website is a forum. Duh. I would like to change this text to something more meaningful, for instance the actual name of my forum. Where can I find this, in which template? Andreas
October 29, 20204 yr Customization > Languages > Click "Translate" I recommend (in this instance) to enable quick translation and then go to the front end and edit it.
October 29, 20204 yr Author But wouldn't that simply translate the word "Forum" wherever it may appear? That's probably not the result I want.
October 29, 20204 yr Author Well, but it tell me this would be valid only for my user account ... ? I used the tool to display the language keys. However, this particular one does not have one, I don't know where it is coming from:
October 30, 20204 yr It means that only your account will see the strings presented like that. But that's the wrong function anyway: you need the Visual Language Editor, which will allow you to change the string by clicking and holding over it.
October 30, 20204 yr Sorry just got home from work. Yes. The Quick translator will let you edit strings without having to sift through all the confusing language strings. That includes that pesky "Forums" string you are talking about. It IS an individual string and will not affect other places that say "forum".
October 30, 20204 yr Author Ah yes, I know that one, but what I said, that tool explicitly says it will only affect my account.
October 30, 20204 yr Solution It will only affect your account to allow you do the action it provides. The action leads to a result, which all will see. Just try it. Edited October 30, 20204 yr by Nathan Explosion
