Me again!

I want to edit some of the text that sits under the Artefacts - we've got Embedly, External Resource and External Media and they all say the same thing when you hover over them.

Where can I edit this text?

Cheers!

Hi The strings are in each Lang folder situated in each plugin folder. If you want to change these strings you could edit these file directly where they are. But it is not a good idea because when you update your mahara or your third party plugin your changes are lost. A better way to do this is to follow instruction for Mahara translators on the wiki and create your own language package with only the strings you want change. Then you can add these as a new "language" You can also put your edited files in the local folder and they will overwrite original strings from the mahara or plugins' Lang folder Hope this helps dajan

Thanks Dajan - I'll look into it, though I still can't seem to find the specific php files for each Artefact.

To give you an example, the language file for the embedly plugin on my server is :

/var/www/blocktype/embedly/lang/en.utf8/blocktype.embedly.php
