Hi drupalmind,
I actually needed some similar functionality for my site. I found the option to change ALL the 'Add to Cart' buttons but obviously this wasn't good enough.
Here is how I tackled the problem (as Im fairly new to drupal and dont know how to create modules yet)
- Created a node-product.tpl.php file in my template directory to override the default behavior for product nodes.
- In this file checked to see what class of product we were looking at
- After determining what class of product it was I used a case statement/if else to change the value of the 'Add to cart' form using string replace. Something like below:
if ($class == 'your_class')
{
echo str_replace('Add to Cart', 'Register', $node->content['add_to_cart']["#value"]);
}
else
{
echo $node->content['add_to_cart']["#value"];
}It isn't very elegant but it works until my skills improve enough to figure out how to write a module for this 
Hope this helps

It is overriding all the content except the "add to cart" button text.
when i use the code all the text disappear and button show up with text "add to cart" but there would be "register"
Re: Re: Hi drupalmind,

So you just would want to override the "add to cart" text on the button on node pages?
You could try something like:
<?php
function my_module_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
// Normally a switch is used because you may want to alter more than
// one form and it is easy to add a new case for each form.
// $output .= dsm($form);
switch ($form_id) {
// This is our form ID.
case 'product_node_form':
$form['submit']['#title'] = t('register');
break;
case 'other_node_form':
$form['submit']['#title'] = t('other');
break;
}
}
?>Use a hook_form_alter to change forms that already exist. This should be in a new module.
Install the devel module and uncomment the "$output .= dsm($form);" part and see which exact name the $form['submit']['#title'] has and so how to change it.
Good luck!
Re: Re: Re: Hi drupalmind,

I have made a module to alter the form but i have not got the solution may be i have not got the $node->type or some thing else problem. or i have not got $form['submit']['#title'] it correctly, any how i have tried a couple of methods but problem is still there.
Did you install and enable
Did you install and enable the Devel module?
And ucomment:
<?php
$output .= dsm($form);
?>The title for the submit button should be there, dito the form ID stuff. I didn't work with classes before, so I don't know if the form_id will change. You could use node->type or something instead.
Re: Did you install and enable
work on the hook alter of uc_product module have worked for me.
i m also pasting a code snap that works for me
$content_type = $form['#parameters'][2]->type;
$uc_form_id = $form_id;
$uc_form_id = explode("_",$uc_form_id);
array_pop($uc_form_id);
$uc_form_id = implode("_", $uc_form_id);
if(($uc_form_id == "uc_product_add_to_cart_form") and ($content_type=="committee_events")){
$form['submit']['#value'] = t('Register');
}
else if(($uc_form_id == "uc_product_add_to_cart_form") and ($content_type=="product")){
$form['submit']['#value'] = t('Add to cart');
}Thx for the contribution of all participants here!

Thanks in advance!
Re: different text to "add to carts" button for each class of p
Nice snippet! Thanks a lot!
Re: different text to "add to carts" button for each class of p
I just want to add that the code given in #3 works great, except that I had to change 'title' to 'value' for it to work.
Thanks a lot for this, it has saved me some time!
didn't work for me but THANKS...
Thanks for this discussion. it helped me a log... but i had to make some changes for this to work for me. Below is my module code:
function other_add_to_cart_text_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
// Normally a switch is used because you may want to alter more than
// one form and it is easy to add a new case for each form.
// $output .= dsm($form);
// $output .= dsm($form_id);
switch ($form_id) {
// This is our form ID.
case 'uc_product_add_to_cart_form_23':
$form['submit']['#value'] = t('Continue to enter custom info');
break;
}
}

I've written a module to do this; http://drupal.org/project/uc_product_cta
