renaming civicrm tabs/functions
December 16, 2007, 07:40:11 pm
Hi,

'household' and 'organization' are not applicable for my install of civicrm. I would like to use their functions but call them something else. What's the most elegant way to do this? I would also like to rename 'tags' and 'groups' if possible

Two approaches come to mind:

1. Create custom versions of the templates which expose these terms / labels. (check the Develop portion of the wiki doc for info on custom templates). HOWEVER, I don't think you can modify the "Tabs" shown when viewing a contact record in this manner since they are assigned by the php code.

2. Create a "translation" which transforms these specific "strings" - replacing them with the values you want. I think this is probably the easiest approach for this. Check on the doc here for info on how it works and getting started: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+Localisation
