String Overrides
Rob Loach - November 21, 2007 - 09:38
#D7CX: I pledge that String Overrides will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day Drupal 7 is released.
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
- Extract to your sites/all/modules directory.
- Enable the module in admin/build/modules.
- Configure the access permission in admin/user/access or admin/user/permissions.
- Visit admin/settings/stringoverrides and fill in the strings you'd like to replace.
- Dance (if you arn't dancing, then try emptying your cache)!
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.
