I have no doubt that I am doing something wrong again here, but now I'm struggling with something else.
Having successfully got my catergories lined up the way I want them, and my logo pictures set up, I have tried to move onto changing the wording of some areas of the module. All I want to do is to be able to change the words of the module to suit my own needs. My site is for reporting lost and stolen dogs so I don't want "Rate this Photo!!" or "Add a Photo" or "Most popular Photo" if you see what I mean? It is likely to be serving a sensitive audience of upset people - I don't want people to think that I want them to 'Rate the Photo's' It is imperitive that I change these values, but I just haven't got a clue what I'm doing. I was told to edit the file \modules\myalbum\language\english\main.php and change the values in there that I need to. For example, "_ALBM_ADDPHOTO","Add Photo" has now been changed to "_ALBM_ADDPHOTO","Add Report". and saved. But no change when I visit the site. I have done keyword searches for other instances of the value but nothing? Other than that one file. Can someone please help me with this seemingly complex task?
I have noticed by the way, that I can make changes to any html file I want via the Templates system (by editing my cloned set), but php files are different. I cannot access those via the Template area, so I edit them with Dreamweaver direct on the server, then save them. I go back to the site, and nothing ever seems to change, unless I delete the clone, and then re-clone, but that is a total pain the ar*e because it means changing everything all over again. Surely this is not the only way to get changes to a php to actually show up on the website? My latest example of this is changing the date format. I had to edit the language\english\global.php file. I saved it. Went back to the site, but the dates do not change. Yet, I did this very same alteration at work today on our Intranet site, and it worked straight away? I just don't get it!
Please help me someone. I'm so desperate I could cry!!
