Since it looks like we will never get a county field, I'm using the "Location name" as a county field. I know it shows up in the DB as "name" but at least I can finally collect county info, index it with Solr, and search by it. I love this module but I can't believe we still don't have a county field.

Anyway, I've figured out how to get it to display "xyz county" in the node view, where "xyz" is actually the Location name.

What I can't figure out is how to get it to say "County:" on the INPUT form rather than "Location name:" ? And get rid of that little text: "e.g. a place of business, venue, meeting point"

I know this is easy and I feel like a fool cuz I've wasted several days and I still can't find it, (boy do i feel stupid)... but please, somebody tell me how I can change those few words on the input form?

Thanks,
Tim

You should be able to use the string overrides module to change "Location name" to "County". There appears to be a setting for the help message but it does not appear to work in which case you would need to make a module that implements hook_form_alter() to change the help text.

In location.module, change:

'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Location name'),
'#default_value' => $obj,
'#size' => 64,
'#maxlength' => 255,
'#description' => t('e.g. a place of business, venue, meeting point'),
'#attributes' => NULL,
'#required' => ($a4 == 2),

to

'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('County'),
'#default_value' => $obj,
'#size' => 64,
'#maxlength' => 255,
'#description' => t(''),
'#attributes' => NULL,
'#required' => ($a4 == 2),

@nevets: Thanks for the suggestion! I think I'll go with the second one, but now I know about "String Overrides" module!

@lcatlett:

Thanks so much! I had actually changed a line in there a long time ago to get it to say "County" on the node, but your way should change it everywhere, yes?

Trying now, wish me luck!

Thanks again,
Tim

@lcatlett - Yes!

Worked perfectly, and I was even able to change "Postal code" to Zip, etc., and re-ordered the output.

You just introduced me to a whole new level of "Drupalness."

Thanks again!

Tim

Though it is not best practices since it makes updating the module harder.
