Summary:

Change the "Groups" label to anything

Full description:

This plugin provides an admin setting for relabelling "Groups", without everyone having to dig through language files.

The following plugins are covered:

  • Blog
  • Bookmarks
  • Event Calendar
  • File
  • Group Contact List
  • Group Custom Layout
  • Groups
  • Notifications
  • Pages
  • Polls
  • Tidypics
  • Vazco Groupmailer
  • Vazco Mainpage

As such this plugin should be installed below these plugins.

If multiple languages are installed for this plugin the settings can accept a label in each language.  See an example in the screenshots.

 

Inspired by the "Rename Groups as Communities" plugin by C4LPT, and my indecisive client.

Release notes:

Added Group Custom Layout

Compatible Elgg Version: 1.7

@waynaldo - Copy the entries from the language files of those plugins into the languages/en.php file of rename_groups.  Then replace the words "group", "Group", "groups", "Groups" with the variables.  You should be able to see the pattern by looking at the rest of en.php.

@Matt - Used this on 1.8.1 but the Admin page only offers the two uppercase (Groups, Group) plural and singular input boxes, subsequently groups and group are unchanged. What do I need to do to make it work?

@Burgs - if you look on the screenshot you'll see that there is only supposed to be 2 input boxes per translation - Singular and Plural.  The uppercase/lowercase is handled programmatically.

I haven't tested this in 1.8 so I don't know offhand what you need to make it work, though if I remember rightly it's simple enough that it should work fine.  Some language strings may need to be updated in en.php, that's about it.

@Matt - Sorry my fault, I knew there was more than just 2 input boxes, it's only showing me the EN language input boxes, the FR & IT are absent. Will check language file.

@Burgs - it only ships with an english language file, as I'm unfortunately monolingual.  I just built the capacity to handle other languages if someone wants to supply other language files.

@Matt - Thanks for the plugin.

I updated the plugin code, that it will work without deprecated warnings on Elgg 1.8.3, where should i upload the updated code?
