Cutomising Top Menu Labels

[tobyrhodes]

Hi.
(I'm new to the forum, so apologies if this isn't the right place to post this question) ...

Is it possible to customise the labels on the menu items at the very top of the screen? In particular, I would like to rename the "Employees" tab, as my colleagues are not employees, but members of a network (I know that this seems a minor issue, but it means a lot to them). If possible, I would also like to rename the Employees heading on the information panels showing an individual's contact data too.

Cheers

Just go to the admin panel (the admin menu option at the top of the page) and select "rename tabs"

Hi Kenneth. Thanks for your reply.
I have tried that, but it doesn't seem to allow me to edit the labels of the very top menu items (right at the top of the screen), only the 'tabs' on the next line down. Is there something that I am missing?
Cheers
Toby

For coding, all the TABS are defined in /include/modules.php
For coding, all the SHORTCUTS are defined in .modules/home/menu.php

For TEXT CHANGES ONLY (Labels), go to includes/language/en_us.lang.php
Once there, scroll almost to the end and you will find:
'LBL_ADMIN' => 'Admin'
Keep scrolling down and you will find:
'LBL_EMPLOYEES' => 'Employees' (change the word 'Employee' to whatever you want to show on the top Label)
Keep scrolling down and you will find:
'LBL_LOGOUT' => 'Logout'
'LBL_MY_ACCOUNT' => 'My Account'

Hi JackieBM,

Is it possible to remove this field "Employee", I don't want my employees access to this link.

Editing language file and setting 'LBL_EMPLOYEES' => '', takes you half way. Text is not visible but you can still access the link.

To remove the link edit include/globalControlLinks.php and around row 43 remove the following section

 $global_control_links['employees'] = array(
 'linkinfo' => array($app_strings['LBL_EMPLOYEES']=> 'index.php?module=Employees&action=ListView'),
 'submenu' => ''
 );
