Change the 'Quantity' label to 'Length' ?
Submitted by JustJamesAus@dr... on Tue, 10/21/2008 - 00:02
I have a client who wants to sell fabric by the metre, so the label 'Quantity' has to say 'Length in Metres' or something similar. How can I do this? I had a play with the locale module as I thought I might be able to 'translate' the word, but I can't figure it out. I'm also trying a cusomt module that uses hook_form_alter() but I can't figure out how to make that work either... any hints ont he best way to do this much appreciated!
I think hook_form_alter() isn't what you want for this, but instead you want to customize your display template. If you create a node-products.tpl.php (if you don't have one already), then print_r($node) you can see all of the labels and fields on the page. I haven't done this for qty in particular, but for other items I've just started off my template by doing something like: $node>quantity[#label] = "Metres". Note: this won't change the display in the actual cart, just on the product page. But personally (as a person who buys fabric online!) I wouldn't be weirded out by seeing "Qty: 3.5" in my cart. Good luck! Thanks for your help leenwebb... But there doesn't seem to be a node->quantity - maybe because the quantity is not set yet? I don't know, but the only reference in the print_r($node) output I can find to 'quantity' is in the add to cart value and the body text listings like this: [body] => <div class="product_image"><a href="http://www.joysfabricwarehouse.com.au/files/01_0.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="field_image_cache_0"><img src="http://www.mysite.com.au/files/imagecache/product/files/01_0.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><br /></div><div class="display_price">$5.99</div><p>A beautiful silver satin material.</p>The body value above must be put together somewhere else, probably by ubercart. Also, it seems like I won't be able to use hook_form_alter because the forms all have different IDs. This is much harder than I thought it would be... It's okay, I figured out how to do it using the locale module - seems a strange way to do it but it works well. You could also use the string overrides (http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides) module. You could also use the string overrides (http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides) module.
Thanks for the tip. It helped me solved my problem I was aware of the locale module, but this seems an easier way to change the label of a string.
