String Overrides

String Overrides

Provides a quick and easy way to replace any text on the site.

Features

  • Easily replace anything that's passed through t()
  • Less overhead than the Locale module (overrides are cached in the variables table, which is loaded on every page request already)
  • Locale support, allowing you to override strings in any language (not compatible in the Drupal 5 branch)
  • Ability to import/export *.po files, for easy migration from the Locale module
  • Click on the "Add row" button to add extra text boxes

Installation

  1. Extract to your sites/all/modules directory
  2. Enable the module in admin/build/modules
  3. Visit admin/settings/stringoverrides and fill in the strings you'd like to replace
  4. Dance

Credits

This module was written by Rob Loach, however, the idea came from the Lullabot team when they mentioned someone should put a module together that takes advantage of the new functionality in Drupal 6. Jeff Eaton suggested the name Swappy, but String Overrides was a bit more descriptive. Nathan Haug gets the credit for producing the brilliant Drupal 5 backport. Thank you goes to John VanDyk for usability enhancements.
