Changing Preset Group Names

[Darthmaul]

How do i change the preset group names on the forum? Like it automatically says Global Mod and Admin
How do i change those names?

I don't think you can through ACP. Probably manually though. I'm not sure.

Ben.

 

[Darthmaul]

You can't through ACP. What do you mean by manually?

I am guessing this is for phpbB3

Open language/en/common.php (please ensure you have a backup of this file before editing it) in a text editor and find the following

	'G_ADMINISTRATORS'			=> 'Administrators',
	'G_BOTS'					=> 'Bots',
	'G_GUESTS'					=> 'Guests',
	'G_REGISTERED'				=> 'Registered users',
	'G_REGISTERED_COPPA'		=> 'Registered COPPA users',
	'G_GLOBAL_MODERATORS'		=> 'Global moderators',
	'G_NEWLY_REGISTERED'		=> 'Newly registered users',

Change the ones you want then upload it again. Only change the text to the right of the =>

That should work. You may need to purge the forums Cache afterwards.

 

[Darthmaul]

Sounds like a good idea, i will tell you if it works!

 

[CyberFreak]

It should work. I haven't tried it though.

 

[Darthmaul]

Yes!
That worked splendidly. +rep and a cookie for you!

 

[CyberFreak]

No problem... Thanks for the cookie (and the rep) 😀

 

[Darthmaul]

Lol, glad to be of service.😛

I meant through FTP.

Glad you got it solved! 🙂

 

[Darthmaul]

Oh, well, i think fowler's was might've saved me a little trouble

If it's phpBB 3, you could have just gone to edit group. then changed the name.

 

[CyberFreak]

The name of the pre-defined groups can't be edited in the acp 😉

 

[Darthmaul]

^Yep 😛

 

[death180]

[Darthmaul]

Lol, *Ignored*
