Hello all!

Wondering if I need to develop my own module or if there actually IS something out there that does this for me.

I am working with a client that runs a housing initiative for a university. There are a few strings in various locations about the site that change somewhat frequently: semester dates, apartment / residence prices, etc. They employ a semi-computer-literate secretary who is in charge of making sure that all of these things are up to date. Instead of having her go through every single page by hand and change the text (not that it's a lot of work in the first place, but still...), is there a module / admin panel that allows users to input strings and then display them throughout the site? It seems like a pretty obvious module suggestion, but I can't seem to find one that will do the job. Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but...

(1) check out the "Translate interface" that is part of Drupal core (under "Admin" then "Site Building"). This allows you to translate text strings within Drupal. For example, instead of "Log in" you can translate it to "Login" (I know, bad bad...), but I prefer "Login".

(2) check out this module as alternative to option 1 above: http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides

DONE. And done. String Overrides is perfect! I'm actually pretty impressed with the power of this module... you can change any string on the site! ANY string! And it's way better than anything I could have come up with. Anyway, thanks jmmec - you saved me a ton of pain.
