change module name in admin menu

Post by martinneil »

To change the module name in the admin menu, is this acheived in the lang folder of the module?

I've been trying to edit this via ftp all afternoon, but for some reason I'm having difficulty (ftp program keeps adding it to the transfer queue to "retry", whilst it can edit all my other domains and php files).

One for the host to take a look at, or is there something else to it?

Yes the names is from the language files.

You can easy override the strings from the language files by creating

/module_custom//lang/xx_YY.php


See the "How do I change those hard coded module strings " on this page: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/Developers_FAQ    for further explanation...

update....
Also look here for an updated article by Calguy1000:

(also explains customizing of module admin templates)
