Changing "comment" text.

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to change the displayed “comment-text” under the article. I’ve managed to change it in the new posts I’m writing. But in the old posts it still reads “comments” instead of “Kommentarer”. Can I post-change that text?

Re: Changing "comment" text.

Go to Admin -> Preferences, under Comments, change the default invite text to “Kommentarer”.
Should work (assuming that you didn’t renamed some of your article comment invites with other text). :)

I’ve changed the “default invite” to “Kommentarer” and now it shows as intended. However, the old posts that I’ve made before I changed still displays as “Comments” (check on site). Can I change the “comment text” on my old posts?

Re: Changing "comment" text.

For old posts, I guess you can try two ways:
1. Alter your article table (from the db) by issuing a simple SQL statement to change all at once, or
2. You have no other choice but to do it painstakingly…change it for each article!

After all, you have only 16 articles, and not 1,600. :-)

Thanks! Found a “more” link on the articles where I could change it. Worked, although a little cumbersome to change manually – but… I don’t have very many posts. :)

I didn’t thought you had trouble looking for that! :P
Anyway, you must be new to TXP. Welcome aboard!
