How to rename Blog module to some thing else? Help

hi, am new here. I want to rename blog module, any idea how to do it? cause i renamed blogs to e.g 'Notes' by renaming permalinks of .htaccess, in database sys_permalinks and also replacing blogs with e.g notes in language. so now when i activate permalinks from admin id ..and post any thing in blog i get error 404 not found when i disable permalinks it works fine. For my website permalinks need to be active for blog, cause i need to share the link as www.mywebsite.com/notes instead of www.mywebsite.com/boonex/blogs/etc. Any one out there to help me out i would be very thankful to you :)

There is an instruction on how to rename. And, don't need to download "Clubs Module" but  the instruction will help you how to change from Blogs to Notes.

The forum is free help but it will depend on the complexity of the request.  

For the language keys of the blog module; you go to /modules/boonex/blogs/install/langs and edit the en.php file to change the keys; you can use a search and replace tool in an editor to help remembering to keep the case of the word.  If you have already installed you can recompile the language in the admin section.

Are you using Apache or Nginx or some other webserver?

It sounds like you will need to uninstall the current module.  You will need to edit the install install.sql file as well to change the installation in the database; as maybe the uninstall.sql so that if you decide to uninstall the module it will clean up properly.

Read through this topic, it might help: http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/howto-duplicate-store-module-and-change-its-name-globally-in-hte-site.htm

 

Note: if you are not going to keep the blog module in place, you don't need to worry about the class names.  However, the module will need to know where the files are located. if it is looking for the files in /modules/boonex/blogs and you rename the directory to /notes then that affects the module because it can not find the files.

@Geek_Girl : i already changed it in the language n recompiled it :) also few time uninstalled the module. i think the problem lies with the database permalinks cause in .htaccess there are 32 lines for blogs but in database sys_permalink there are around 10 i guess. So right now it if i enable permalinks it will partially work with all the navigation menu buttons but when i click on add post or my blogs it show me 404 error. I am using litespeed server.

If you not busy might be you can verify permalinks ratio :) thanks for your reply by the way :)

Then uninstall the module and inspect the /install/install.sql; that is the bits that are added to the database when you install the module.

.htaccess is mentioned in instruction and it does work on ANY mondule.

Yes, but if you read the replies, she/he does not want to buy your instructions even if they are only $5.00.  Actually, if she/he searches Boonex, either using the magnifying glass thingy above or using an off site search engine such as Google or Bing, she/he will find all the answers.

Are you sure, because the person did NOT say "not want to buy". Exact quote was "not even sure it will work with blogs".

Moreover, it's $4 for premium clients. With this instruction, would have accomplished 8 (more or less) hours ago.

Reluctant to pay I guess; I think the person was afraid they would buy it and still be stuck.  I think $5.00 is a good deal to get the answer all in one place from someone that has done it and I am guessing would be willing to help if one got "hung up" on a part.

I've copied modules a few times so I can either convert a module's name to something more meaningful for what I'm using it for, or so I can use both the original and copied versions at the same time in slightly different ways.  This is basically what I did:

1) copy the target module folder so you have both the original and the renamed-copy.  I found it's important to make sure the renamed module's title is unique across your website.

2) carefully do a search and replace within the renamed module to convert the original name-title to the renamed-title... using three stages:

a) convert all lower case instances, e.g. "somemodule"
b) convert all upper case instances, e.g. "SOMEMODULE"
c) convert all with mixed upper/lower case, e.g. "SomeModule"

Then install and test.  Don't be surprised if you have to tweak something.  If there is an hidden problem then start again but this time go through the search and replace changes one at a time to carefully evaluate the need to change each case.  You may want to do this on the first run through if you're the conservative "be very careful" type.  You should do this on a dev site first and only after backing up everything... both code and database.  Never experiment on a "production" website.

Good luck!
