Sure there is. Find the following--modules-->blockcategories-->blockcategories.tplthen edit line 29 and simply change 'Categories' to whatever you want it to say.

in2sky Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thanks, that's what I originally did, and the customization is still there, but it looks like there's another file overriding this one.I'm using Matrice theme by 2link and indeed, it's got its own module folder. Unfortunately, no blockcategories.tpl in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justdogwalking.com Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 you can achieve the same thing more simply use the "translation facility" look up catagories and put in the substitute words you want. This is less permanent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2sky Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just did it, then emptied the cache, and categories is still there. crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayan Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Sorry can't help much more I'm a novice and followed a post for the same objective.For what its worth take a look here http://www.justdogwalking.co.uk/I changed catagories to "shop catagories" and its been pretty stable. I had to go through this myself. However, even after getting the things done on the front end I was not able to change the URL. For e.g I renamed my " MANUFACTURER " to " BRANDS " but when you click on it it shows http://www.12345/manufacturer.php . However, it should be brands.php. I am not sure how to do this. If you find out then please do let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2sky Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 ok, in my case, I think it's something to do with the theme "MATRICE" that's overriding something on the back end. still haven't figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybiz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I am having a SIMILAR PROBLEMI changed the name of categories in Translations successfully but its too long for the menu, now I cant change it back, I have tried re-uploading the translations file with no success – the custom category name has been deleted but its not changing back…also tried editing blockcategories.tpl with no success again…simply cannot change the category name whatever I do.The only thing I can think of at this stage is to do a complete reinstall despair.

Mister Denial Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Have you tried setting the performance settings to Force compile Yes and Cache No, then hitting Ctrl+R to force reload in your browser? Maybe you can't see the changes because you are still loading a cached page somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayoutwest Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 but when i set Cache back to NO, name changes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
