Hi,

Is there any easy way to change the naming of CATEGORY, BRAND & MERCHANT on the index page and if possible on the other area's of the site? I.E keep the functionality the same but just change the naming.

Thanks

Hi,

Sure - there is now a central function where all rewrite links (slugs) are generated. First, edit includes/tapestry.php and look for the following code at lines 309, 313 and 317 respectively;

$indexHREF["merchant"][TRUE] = "merchant/";

$indexHREF["category"][TRUE] = "category/";

$indexHREF["brand"][TRUE] = "brand/";

Make changes as required here, and then make the corresponding changes in .htaccess at lines 11-13, 15-17 and 19-21. For example, changing from merchant/ to store/, lines 11-13 would be changed as follows;

RewriteRule ^store/$ merchants.php

RewriteRule ^store/(.*)/$ search.php?q=merchant:$1:&rewrite=1&%{QUERY_STRING} [B,L]

RewriteRule ^store/(.*)/(.*).html$ search.php?q=merchant:$1:&page=$2&rewrite=1&%{QUERY_STRING} [B,L]

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

Done that successfully. Just one final question, how do I change the names on the menu at the top of the homepage, the one that says "Catagory A-Z Brand A-Z Merchant A-Z"

Thanks,

Daryl

The links are generated in html/menu.php - see lines 33, 37 and 39 respectively. The Category / Merchant / Brand parts are contained in translate() calls so you could either edit in-situ, or add to includes/translate.php for example:

$translate["Category"] = "Store";

David.
