Rename Encyclopedia?

Regular Joined: Dec 15, 2008 Posts: 79

Not sure if this is the right place on the forum, but can you change the name of the Encyclopedia and if so, is it just a simple case of editing the module file? Or is it linked to lots of other files that need editing to reflect the new name?

Thank you.

Having not used it all that much, I can't recall if there is anything lurking under the covers. But, my gut tells me it is not an issue. However, what I might suggest instead is copying the entire folder to a new named folder and then also check for any hardcodings of the name within the index.php (doubtful there is).

Thanks for your speedy reply.

I've never used it before either, but on one site it's come in very handy. Pity there's no way to edit the alphabet letters into words tho, as they're a bit of a pain.

Will try what you suggest, thank you Montego

I'm not sure if there are any hard-coded references to the Encyclopedia module in the module scripts, but there shouldn't be any references elsewhere. Just scan all the files in the modules/Encyclopedia folder and replace any with what you want the new module name to be. Then rename the Encyclopedia module and active the new module in your admin modules function.

Thanks will do that. I checked index.php and there's no mention of it in there.

So in theory, I could also change the A,B,C,D etc to names in the encyclopedia files without any problems

Why do you need to?

You may already know this, but you can change the name of the link in the Modules menu by changing the "Custom Module Name" in the Modules admin panel
Just a thought Smile

Its possible you will get different issues if you change the A,B,C
I have added there umlauts and got more or less problems with the search function and the rewrite rules.
But try it out and test it.

Good luck !

On a somewhat related note, if you use images in Encyclopedia you will run into issues with the Search function "bolding" file names... I just commented out this line in Encyclopedia/index.php to remove the bold tags from search.

Code:

// $contentpages[$arrayelement] = eregi_replace($query,"<b>$query</b>",$contentpages[$arrayelement]);
