How to rename a module?

[mccon1]

Hi,

I just installed Open Source SugarCRM 5.2.0i and now I am customizing it. I'd like to rename the module (or is it a subpanel?) "Activities" to "Todo" and the module/subpanel "Cases" to "Documents". I am using the German language pack.

I only found "Rename Tabs" in the admin menue, where I could rename the Acrivities/Cases, but it is only shown in the Tabs on top, on the Contacts site for example its still Activities/Cases.

Is it possible?

Many thanks in advance,
mccon1

You have to create a file in the custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/en_us.modulename.php and put following line into it.

$app_list_strings['moduleList']['oldmodulename'] = 'newmodulename';

Go to Admin->repair->Quick Repair and Rebuild

Thank you very much for your answer!
I did as you said, but it only renames the Tabs, e.g. its the same than clicking on "Rename Tabs". When I click on the renamed Tab, I still see Activities/Cases. On the Contacts site there are also still the Activities and Cases subpanel with the old names, not the new ones.

Any other ideas?

Hi mccon1

If your sugar is installed into a Linux/Unix machine you can run this command to identify which language files need to be extended to accomplish your request:
cd </path/to/sugar>
find -name "ge_ge.lang.php" | xargs grep -n "Activities"
find -name "ge_ge.lang.php" | xargs grep -n "Cases"

You will see a list of files containing the entries to be redefined.
Create the appropriate extended language files with the translation you want.

Exemples:
for ch

• anges on Accounts language file (modules/Accounts/language/ge_ge.lang.php) the extended version should be: custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Language/ge_ge.lang.php
• for changes on application language file (include/language/ge_ge.lang.php) the extended version should

be: custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/ge_ge.lang.php

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions
