Redshop: How to edit the text description of certain labels

2 issues both involving the checkout process.

Issue one: Some of the labels under the payment selection option are displayed as the html component name on the front-end.

for example, my authorize.net payment plugin is named "RS_PAYMENT_CASHSALE" ... on the front-end, this is viewed as PLG_RS_PAYMENT_CASHSALE... in all caps with underscores.... how do I change this to something visually appealing?? also something that doesn't sound like code?? I want it to say something that has nothing to do with "Cash Sale"

Issue two:

In the final checkout step, there are two boxes one with the title "third party email" and another titled "customer support"

where in the html can i change these descriptions to something else?? i need "Customer Support" to say something else....

Thank you,

Addison

1. It looks like a language phase that you can find to translate in language file of you payment plugin under /languages/en-GB/

2. I didn't see those texts when checking with my installation http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/646/8715809688.png

2. I've attached an image of what I'm talking about....

1. I'll look into those language files and see what I can change.

Ok I got it now. You can find those texts to change in \language\en-GB\en-GB.com_redshop.ini

Code: Select all
COM_REDSHOP_CUSTOMER_NOTE_LBL="Customer Note"

Code: Select all
COM_REDSHOP_THIRDPARTY_EMAIL_LBL="Third-party Email"

Okay,

Fixed the labels on the two text boxes in the Checkout.... THANK YOU!

Still having problem with the plugin text.

No language files exists in the \language\ folder where the com_redshop.ini file was located... there was nothing there for plugin language...

should i add these in "en-GB.com_redshop.ini"? :

PLG_RS_PAYMENT_CASHSALE_LBL ="Cash Sale"

PLG_RS_PAYMENT_AUTHORIZE_LBL="Authorize Payment Method"


or should i create a whole new .ini language file for the payment plugins?"

I'm really confused because i tried to copy/paste the plugin.ini language files associated with each payment plugin. those were located in \administrator\languages... and the only thing that i was able to change with those .ini files were the back-end labels of what the name of the plugin was reading as in joomla.


if you want i can give you my ftp information so you can take a look?

In the language folder, try creating a language file for the plugin, filename format is:

Code: Select all
en-GB.plg_PLUGINTYPE_NAMEOFPLUGIN.ini


Then put your translation content into the file.
