CE 4.9.7 Forms - Payment Page

English forums
1

Hello Again,

I have solved all my previous problems so please close the threads or delete them as you wish.

I have been trolling the root directory for signs of ways I can change the inflexible form titles, in this case VAT which is found on the www.domain.com/index.php page. (pic attached)
I have found the translation files and as you can see have changed the VAT to GST on the bottom right corner.

Last but not least I seem to have found myself locked in to the German Newbies Portal which makes life a little harder for an old boy.

Cheers

Don

There is a simple way to find all language-keys. Go to your applications folder of your theme and rename the language folder. Now OXID can’t find any translation and shows you the language-keys. Copy the language-keys to your cust_lang.php and fill it your translations

Thanks MY

Perhaps I described my need poorly… I have a handle on the language-keys and their translations and I have successfully changed some, e.g. “* incl. GST plus shipping” instead of “incl. VAT plus shipping”.

My need is actually to find and change the hard coded words like the VAT word in the payment form. Please see the circled part of my attachment.

VAT isn*t hard coded :slight_smile: The language Key is named “VAT” A little bit confusing, i know :slight_smile:

<th class="vatPercent">[{ oxmultilang ident="VAT" }]</th>

In case you want to hard code this key, open the basketcontens.tpl, or add the key “VAT” to your cust_lang.php (the better choice)

I am afraid to say this didn’t help. Yes it changes most “VAT” names to GST but it doesn’t change the VAT on the form.

Could you be more specific (embarrassed):frowning:

it’s located in /application/translations/en/lang.php line 566 (or maybe a line near line 566, depends on what version you are using).

Change this line, but the better way is, copy this line to your custom_lang.php

Thanks again. Whilst you were partying or probably sleeping I spent all day opening files until I found what I needed and fixed the issue. I hope I did it right but the page looks good. Now on to bigger and better issues… :slight_smile:
