adding language strings

Design and Skin Customization

For example, I could not add "Blogs" so I could make a top nav bar LINK.

I can adjust current ones, like changing "Images" to "Photos", and changing "Profiles" to "Members"- all of which will be more friendly and familiar to my members. But I can't add a NEW unrelated one. And when I tried editing a seemingly unneeded string to "Blogs" instead, it then messed up something elsewhere, so I had to set it back.

Yes I think it would be very cool to be able to add a string and ID # at the end of the list!

Paul, I kept going there, but I don't understand how I can add a new string word, like "Blogs".
Here is a screenshot from my JR ACP, ...can you please tell me how I can add #40 for the term Blogs anywhere? No place to add that I can see, been clicking everywhere, it's been driving me nuts... that's why I then went to my server files instead. ? What am I missing ?

Yes I was in my Arvixe server cPanel, for the simple reason that I couldn't find the "skins/CustomSkin/lang/en-US.php" file by searching around within the JR ACP...so I went to my server file manager, under the skin, and found it there and went to edit it as was suggested. It was the strong code warning message within that php file code that gave me pause and made me afraid to edit anything. Now I know i should just ignore that warning (I guess).

I'm assuming that by "Jamroom's admin control panel" you mean: http://(mysite).com/core/admin/tools -If that is NOT correct please let me know. Thanks!

Brian, when I get to where I 'think' I am supposed to be in order to add the new lang string, I see this dire warning:

// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. THIS FILE IS ONLY LOADED DURING INSTALLATION.
// ANY CHANGES TO LANGUAGE STRINGS SHOULD BE DONE IN THE CONTROL PANEL!
$lang[1] = 'home';
$lang[2] = 'cart';
$lang[3] = 'search';
$lang[4] = 'create account';
$lang[5] = 'login';
$lang[6] = 'Older Posts';
$lang[7] = 'Change Image';
$lang[8] = 'About';
$lang[9] = 'Latest Followers';
$lang[10] = 'Recently Rated';
$lang[11] = 'Pages';
etc...

That ominous warning is causing me to not go ahead with my change...should I ignore the warning in order to add the new lang string?

And...this may sound dumb but... I WAS in the cPanel when I selected that file and clicked Edit...so why is it telling me to edit the file in the control panel instead...??

confused.

Awesome John, I may do the same as well- my arvixe shared server is pretty slow right now but I've not had time to address the issues...but may switch to VPS later when it all becomes more crucial.
I'm also glad that you are here.

Ah, I had the same question!
I'll be interested in knowing what Blindmime was wanting to do, but in my own case:

I wanted to add a link for "Blogs" to my top navigation menu strip.
To do so, I copied and edited one that was already there in my skin's header_menu/tpl template, like for "videos" and changed the code to point the new link to the /blog page. But the code had an "ID #" which would need to be the line number for the word "Blogs" in the Language file...only there was no word Blogs in that language file. If I could add it, then I could fill in the line ID# in the code to create the link, and all my header menu link codes would be similarly constructed.

I stumbled onto a workaround for it (which I won't describe), but I still was left wondering how I could add a word or term to a module's language file so i could insert the line# ID for that word in code when needed. Yikes hope this isn't too confusing. Maybe I am missing some key concept about language strings/files and how they are used or created.

FWIW I am not having the missing option that SE is experiencing. I seem to see the quota selection option fine on mine and other random members account tab.
