UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Post vs. Continue

All of the form buttons for posting, whether it's a new post or reply have "continue" in the form button. I really think that should be changed to "POST" or "POST NOW".

How can I change that?

hi, Tony:

Go to the page where the word is that you want to change, and note the script name in your URL box. Then open your language files (under English, I presume), and find the script.

Note: If the word is used in more than one place (like this one is), it's probably in the generic file.

Then, just find the word you want to change, save it, and you're all set!

One of the files is ..CTforums/ubbthreads/newpost.php

So I went to the ../languages/english/newpost.php file and I can't find the word "Continue" which is on the form button on the newpost.php page.

Here is whats in that language file. Am I missing something?


<pre>$ubbt_lang['CHOOSE_NAME'] = "Anonymous postings are allowed, so you may choose any unregistered name to post under.";
$ubbt_lang['READ_PERM'] = "You have read only privileges for this forum.";
$ubbt_lang['MAKENEW_HEAD'] = "Make a New Post - Forum";
$ubbt_lang['FILL_FORM'] = "Fill out the form below to post a message on the forum.";
$ubbt_lang['NO_HTML'] = "HTML is disabled.";
$ubbt_lang['YES_HTML'] = "HTML is enabled.";
$ubbt_lang['NO_MARKUP'] = "UBBCode is disabled.";
$ubbt_lang['YES_MARKUP'] = "UBBCode is enabled, so you may use";
$ubbt_lang['MARK_POSTS'] = "UBBCode in your posts";
$ubbt_lang['POST_ICON'] = "Post Icon";
$ubbt_lang['POST_TEXT'] = "Post";
$ubbt_lang['SPELL_CHECK'] = "Check spelling";
$ubbt_lang['DO_EMAIL'] = "Email all replies to my real email address";
$ubbt_lang['DO_PREVIEW'] = "I want to preview my post";
$ubbt_lang['CAN_ATTACH'] = "and/or attach a file";
</pre>

Look in generic.php

$ubbt_lang['TEXT_CONT'] = "Continue";

UBBDesign.com
Enhancements for ubb.classic & ubb.threads
Creator of the "JC" Templates

Lori is close.

But since the Continue button is used from several different scripts... (newpost, addpost, newreply, editpost etc.....)

It's in the generic.php language file. That way there is only one place to change. Anything you see on lots of pages will usually be stored in there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Look for:

$ubbt_lang['TEXT_CONT'] = "Continue";

Hope that helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

LOL

JC and I posted at the same time. I think that means he has to buy me a Coke. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Yup.. That works.. and makes more sense now too.

Thanks for the lessons on the way this thing works. The only problem I can see is managing up grades after making all these tweeks.

Guess it's time for another Excel spreadsheet.

Software like Beyond Compare from http://www.scootersoftware.com/

(Or BBEdit for the Mac from http://www.barebones.com/ )

will allow you to compare all the the files and see what's different. Then with one click you can move your modified bits back over.

I also do try to keep a list of every mod I make. But after like 100 tweaks to my forum... it becomes hopeless.

Language files are easy to run against Beyond Compare with upgrades.

For major upgrades.... like 6.1.1 -> 6.2 it'll be a little more tricky on scripts and templates (as there were some major changes). For those types of upgrades, I usually start over, so I don't accidentally re-add old code.
But with language files, you'll usually be safe. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I don't plan on moving my current site over to Threads until 6.2 because of many of the improvements, so I consider this practice tweeking.

Is there a rough idea as to when it might be ready?

Sorry to be confusing.....

Sorry. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I misread when I read that he didn't find it.
