Title: How do I change a txt ' '
Post by Matt on 05/24/05 at 18:55:02

Hello,

I would like to change the title of the Categories block under the Navbar. The reason is that we will only have one category and I would like the label to read something else. The category name will tell them what they need to know.

The original module looks like:
sub disp_cat {
my ($key, $numitems, $row, $rowcolor);

print <<EO_HTML;
<div align="center">
<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="770" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="200" valign="top"><br>
<table bgcolor="$config{'colortablebody'}" width="200" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
<tr bgcolor="$config{'colortablehead'}">
<td align="center"><b>$txt{'Categories'}</b></td>
<td align="center" nowrap><b>$txt{'Items'}</b></td>
</tr>
EO_HTML

foreach $key (sort keys %category) {
oops($txt{'The category may not contain any non word characters'})
if $key =~ /\W/;

check_dir("$config{'basepath'}$key");
$numitems = count_items(\$key) || 0;
($row, $rowcolor) = get_row_color($row);

print <<EO_HTML;
<tr $$rowcolor>
<td>
<a href="$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}?action=search&searchtype=items&searchstring=$key&lang=$form{'lang'}">
<b>$category{$key}</b></a>
</td>
<td width="50" nowrap><font size="1">  <b>$numitems</b></font></td>
</tr>
EO_HTML

}

print <<EO_HTML;
</table>
</td>
<td align="center" valign="top"><br>
@{[disp_random('pic', 4)]}<br>
@{[disp_random('list', 5)]}<br>
@{[disp_runtime()]}<br>
@{[disp_banner('tbl')]}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<br>
EO_HTML

}

The line I'm interested in changing is:
<td align="center"><b>$txt{'Categories'}</b></td>

How can I change that from 'Categories' to something else ?

All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks..
Matt

Type in what you want,
$txt{'Categories'} to $txt{'Something Else'}

then go to the eConfig161.pl file and look for:
#-#############################################
# The Config-Variables of: Text-Translation
#-#############################################

and add a line that exactly matches what you entered in the eAuction.pl file like:
'Something Else' => ['Artikel-Nummer', ],

Don't worry about the German if you are using only English, or you could go to Alta Vista's Babelfish and do a translation from English to German and then put it in where it belongs.

mars,

Thanks for the help. Your explanation in the other post helped me figure out the translation stuff in the config file. And yea, I was nice enough to provide the translation into German for the new words and phrases I used. Not that I'm expecting many Germans to use our auction, but didn't want to leave it incomplete !

Thanks again for your help!!
Matt

and let me tell you that eAuction has been translated into a lot of languages in this way - even into Korean and Chinese.
