Change Contribute button label?
February 18, 2008, 12:57:54 pm
I'm using CCRM for site memberships, not contributions. How can I change the button text from "Make Contribution" to something else, like Submit or Join?

You could do this by creating your own "translation" of CiviCRM and translating that string into one you want to see.

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+Localisation

However, for a single string - it may not be worth the trouble. Your alternative is to modify this in the code. Look for that string in:

CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Confirm.php

Hi,

This was annoying me so much that I wrote a tiny Drupal 7 module with an admin screen for configuring the text value of every contribution page's "Submit" button.

If anyone else would find this useful then I can make it available, but I'm not sure where best to do that?

might want to consider hosting on github (or your favorite code repository) and publishing it as an extension

Ok I've hosted it here:

https://github.com/whitefusemedia/wfm_civi_extras/

How/where do I publish it as an extension?

Login to CiviCRM.org and then you can add your extension to the extensions directory: http://civicrm.org/extensions

Can this module be used with Joomla? If not, does anyone know of a similar solution for configuring the text values of contribution pages?

You might want to experiment with the built-in 'Word Replacements' feature (Administer > Customize > Word Replacements) if you're ok with a change that affects all contribution pages. I did a quick experiment replacing 'Contribute' - [x ] exact match. You'll want to check other (back-office) forms and pages to make sure this doesn't mess things up in other spots but off the top of my head I think that button is the only place where that specific word is used by itself.

I found the 'Word Replacement' under Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Word Replacements, and have been able to use it to change 'Contribute' to 'Submit' on the contribution form, but I can't get it to change 'I am contributing on behalf of an organization.' to 'I am registering on behalf of an organization.', or to just change 'contributing' to 'registering'. Any suggestions on how to change 'I am contributing on behalf of an organization.' to 'I am registering on behalf of an organization.'?

I found it. The 'I am contributing on behalf of an organization.' text can be customized under the 'Manage Contribution Pages'  'title and settings' screen.
