Edit Default "Donate Now" button

Ok, might sound like a weird request but how can i change the "default" text that appears when creating a personal campaign page for the "Donate Now" button.

I know you can just type in the field to change it....but the issue is,  we are using the PCP as a type of team building page and most people forget to change that text to "Join My Team" So, I found the field that generates this box {$form.donate_link_text.html} just not sure where this file is so I can make the change.

Please, I need your help this site is live and I need this changed as soon as possible. :)

Thanks You,
John

Probably the easiest way is with the Word Replacements feature:

www.your-site.org/civicrm/admin/options/wordreplacements&reset=1

If that fails to work for your needs, consider using JQuery to change the HTML or making a custom .tpl file for the page.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

Thanks Stoob,

I probably should have mentioned this was a Joomla install. That word replacement link will not work.

Unfortunately, I am not a coder. I can hack here and there with php, but I'm at a loss when it comes to JavaScripting. If someone could share where that text string is located I'm pretty sure I can do it. So, use to "language".ini files in Joomla...which makes changing default text a breeze. :)

Thanks,
john
