Question

I'm trying to change the name of a component inside the admin menu, using Joomla 3.2.3

I can't seem to find it, already looked inside the database and the com_tijobs.xml file

Anyone has an idea how to change it?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Under administrator/language/en-GB/ you should have the files en-gb.com_tijobs.sys.ini and en-gb.com_tijobs.ini. In these two files, change the strings that give the name to your component. Examples of the strings that name your component:

COM_TIJOBS="Your Component Name"
COM_TIJOBS_COMPONENT_LABEL="Your Component Name"
COM_TIJOBS_TITLE_TIJOBS="Your Component Name"

You can also find the references in your database in the #__menu table.

OTHER TIPS

The path to the files has been changed in 3.7. You will find the "en-gb.com_mycomponent.sys.ini" and "en-gb.com_mycomponent.ini" now under administrator/components/com_mycomponent/language/. There you can change the strings which are used by the component and for example, easily change the name shown in the menu of joomla.

COM_MYCOMPONENT="Your Component Name"
COM_MYCOMPONENT_COMPONENT_LABEL="Your Component Name"
COM_MYCOMPONENT_TITLE="Your Component Name"
etc.
