How to modify the "Start a New Discussion" buttons

ericruiz

Hey there, I'm making a website and I want to modify the "Start a New Discussion" buttons for "Start a New Story".

It would be even better to change the word "Discussion" for "Story" everywhere.

Thanks.

It's easy, use my plugin http://vanillaforums.org/addon/categorybasednewdiscussionbuttontext-plugin
I hope this will solve your problem.

Otherwise, if you want to change it globally you need to use the translation system. Just ask.

LOL, literally the same question : http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/15896/how-to-modify-the-button-start-a-new-discussion-function. Since that discussion is old, I'll show you some more recent search results:

Basically that last one is the answer to your question, let's see if it helps you.

This plugin was a great idea, I bet this can be also used in teaching environment giving the buttons the names for the subjects being learned. Thanks for this great plugin !
