Hi all,
I am looking for the file that I can change the Submitted by text on the user post. I would like to just change the wording to something else like user feedback. I have everything working the way I want it, but I need to change the wording. I am thinking it is somewhere in the Global themes. I have looked for this for a few days now and cant find it. Can someone help me PLZ.

More info please? but it's sounding like either the themes page.tpl or node.tpl, more likely the latter!

I want to change the 'submitted by' text in the node to 'User Feedback'

I have looked for the text in the page.tol and node.tpl.

I am thinking the text is coming from a drupal file and not a theme file.

The 'submitted by' text (which is turned on/off at admin/build/themes/settings/global) is part of the node.tpl.php file.

I have looked in the theme node.tpl.php and the text for 'submitted by' is not in that file. Any other idears

You don't say which theme you are using, but if you check the node.tpl.php file for garland you'll see <?php print $submitted; ?>. Maybe check the template.php file for your theme.

I am useing the picture reloaded theme. I have changes line 27 in the node.tpl.php and it did not work. I get errors on line 27 when I access the node.

All I want to do is change the word "Submitted By" to "User Feedback"

I think it is coming from a Drupal file and not a theme file. I have looked in every theme file for "Submitted By" and nothing comes up.

Any other thoughts?

Pixture reloaded does indeed have the 'print $submitted' code, but for what you want to do probably the easiest option is the stringoverrides module (or the core locale module) as mentioned by caschbre. The other option would be to override that info by using the theme_node_submitted function in your template.php file.

I have just found the Submitted By module and it worked perfict. It is very simple to use as well.

Thank you for the help.

The String Overrides module might be able to do the trick for you.
