Changing the text of the menu tab from 'Friends' to something else

Project:Flag Friend
Version:6.x-1.0-rc1
Component:User interface
Category:support request
Priority:normal

Status:closed (fixed)

Issue Summary

Basically, in user profile there is a tab that say "My Friends" when it should just be "Friends", because whenever you visit any user profile, it will keep saying "My Friends", though it actually lists the user you are visiting friends.

Picture is included with this posting.

How do I change it back to just Friends?

I tried different ways, with no success.

It literally is the last thing that needs to be fixed before website is launched.

Thanks in advanced.

No idea... I don't use Flag Friend and APK doesn't do anything with it, either. Moving to the Flag Friend queue.

Flag Friend provides a view (named friends) which has a Title of "Friends":

Edit view friends | drupal-6

Results in:

Friends | drupal-6

If yours says something different, it has either been changed at the place outlined in my screenshot above, or it is coming from something other than Flag Friend. IT could also be possible that there is some sort of code altering this title somewhere else in your system, but I don't know what you're working with exactly.

Yes, I've tried that.

I tried also to look for any "string over-rides", and tried to find the specific string "My Friends" in over 3500+ files that make up the website.

Any other suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

To expand on sirkitree's (#2) comment...

We were trying to find where to change the 'main' Friends tab in the user profile (as client required 'Buddy list' as opposed to 'Friends').

Searched high and low, but after experimenting in Views, you can change the parent tab details by clicking on the small clog-wheel next to the Page Settings box -> Menu field.

See attached screenshot.

This has been driving me crazy, so I hope posting this helps someone.

Regards, Rich
