Change Name of App on Dashboard

Hi,

I'd like to use the Blog App for a client as the foundation of more of an Inventory List that automatically posts new items when they add them. Ultimately, I don't want to confuse them.

Is there a way on the Perch Dashboard for the App Name to be changed from "Blog" to something like "Inventory" or "Equipment"?

Thanks

You can create a language translation to do so. Translate any strings mentioning blog to be whatever you need them to be.

Hi Drew,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Forgive my limited knowledge, but what do you mean by "create a language translation"? Are you speaking about creating a new php file to do this, or simply making changes in a current php file?

Thanks!

The language file is in

perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/lang

You can translate any of the strings on the right hand side of each line. This doesn't involve any PHP files.

Perfect! Thank you!

Hi,

I was able to successfully change all of the language except for in one area. I can't seem to figure out this specific word to be changed from Blog to Inventory -displayed in the image in the link below. Any help?

I think thats the title of your blog - you just don't have an interface to edit blogs because you're not using Runway.

I think you'll need to update it in the database. Do you have access to make edits? If so it's in the perch2_blogs table.

That did the trick! Thanks!
