How do I completely rename a module?

I would like to change how two of the standard Dolphin modules are named on the site from my members point of view. I'd like to change:

  • 'Sites' so that it's referred to as 'Links'
  • 'News' so that it's referred to as 'Jobs' (as we're going to be using an automated RSS poster to post jobs into this module).

Is it possible to do this without needing any code changes? (Completely replace ALL references of the old name with the new one everywhere on the site - not worried about URL's necessarily, just on page references, including references in the search functionality, profile pages, site stats block etc)

Easiest way would be to search-and-replace with language keys.  Go to the languages area in the administration panel and run a search for "sites".  Rename all that apply to that module as needed.

Another option would be to take the language file directly from the module's folder (normally en.php) and replace everything there before you even install it.

 NOTE: not everything only the values of the array, right side of "=>"

replace everything there before you even install it.

 

so much to do....

Sounds like a recurring need – and an automated script for renaming / cloning & rebranding modules might come in quite handy. Would make a beautiful freebie for the market... anyone? :) *Makes note for self in case nobody volunteers. ;)*
