Override the title of a Menu Item (Local task)
I'd like to change the title of a menu item that is defined in a core module (specifically in taxonomy.module). I want to change the "Add term" local task to "Add category". Is there a (right) way to do this without changing it directly in the module? I think I could probably use i18n to solve this issue, but I don't believe this is how i18n is meant to be used, plus that is overkill for changing a single title.
I have tried creating a custom menu item through the menu administration; this does actually change the name but causes two tabs to appear (both with the right title). Disabling the item has no affect, both tabs still appear.
I have also tried redefining the menu item in a custom module (with the proper title), but it this gets overwritten by the menu item defined in the taxonomy module.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
theme_menu_item_link?
I need to do a similar thing. I think I'm going to try implementing a theme_menu_item_link in template.php and having it doing something like
if ($item['title'] == 'old-title') {$item['title'] = 'new-title'; }Yes, that worked
In my case the local task I wanted to override was called 'Orders' and I changed both its title and description.
function phptemplate_menu_item_link($item, $link_item) {if ($item['title'] == 'Orders' && $item['description'] == t('View your order history.')) {
$item['title'] = 'Credits';
$item['description'] = t('Buy credits and view your order history.');
}
return l($item['title'], $link_item['path'], !empty($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description']) : array(), isset($item['query']) ? $item['query'] : NULL);
}
It's not pretty but it does
It's not pretty but it does the trick and prevents hacking the core. Thanks for the help!
