Modify Standard Field

[Gary Law]

Hi,

I would like to customise dotProject such that the companies field is replaced by release - and modify the usage throughout the dotProject environment

How would I go about this ??

Thanks

Could you be more precise ?

Sure - wherever the word company or companies is used , replace it with the word release.
This applies to drop down menus , fields on forms , etc
I tried modifying the companies.inc file under locales , but that did not seem to work.

Basically I have an environment where we assign lot's of projects to a particular release of our product , and dotProject would be perfect - I can simply use release names instead of company names , BUT some users are overly picky ,and I want to remove the objection.

thanks

Make sure your locales directories and files are writable by the web server.

That got me to looking at the Apache error log

[client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\\dotproject\\modules\\system\\translate_save.ph p on line 39, referer: http://localhost/index.php?m=system&a=translate

Not sure what to make of it ........

I am running latest CVS build , although had same problem with
2.01 Apache/2.0.54 (WinXP) PHP/5.0.4

Thanks for the help

First of all, you should make some changes to the file: db/dotproject.sql (or upgrade_xx if this is the one you're using during the installation) *before* installing dotProject:

=> INSERT INTO `modules` VALUES("1", "Companies", "companies", "1.0.0", "", "core", "1", "Companies", "handshake.png", "1", "1", "", "companies", "company_id", "company_name");

=> Change both "Companies" to what you want...

Then follow the changes explained in the link posted in this thread.

Now you won't need to play with phpmyadmin to alter tables and everything should be ok...

Hope this helps,
Leo.
