View Full Version : Rename 'Social Group' to 'Work Group'?

What are the chances I could do a mod that would refer to Social Groups as Work Groups throughout vB? If it is worth the effort, just point me in the right direction and I'll figure it out.

It might seem like a small detail, but calling groups 'Social' gives the wrong impression when they are meant for a serious purpose.

Cheers and tia, Jeff

Just guesing, but I would think this could be something as easy as editing the phrase(s)?

I was hoping that would be possible. My worry was that a phrase that common would get me into hot water fast if I did a global replacement. I could do changes step-wise but I'm as lazy as the next guy.

It turned out to be a piece of cake, so to speak. I hadn't made global phrase changes before, and didn't realize that you would be given the chance to check/uncheck each one before the change was made. Happy camper :)

I understand that you resolved the problem but in case you experience something that is not phrased, you could try the replacement variables in the style settings.

Its a preg_replace that changes everything in that style. Its easy to undo but it can be more impacting if you don't set it up right.

"social groups" is easy
"post" or "user" could be messy.
