How do I use the CB language plugin to make string changes?

I am working on a fresh install of Joomla (3.1.1) on PHP version 5.4.23 with Community Builder (1.9.1), CB Subs 3.0.0 and GroupJive.

I need to change the zip code to postal code because we are in Canada. I edited this directly in the file: component->com_profiler->plugin->language->default_language->default_language.php

This is not good because the edits will not be retained when I upgrade. I read that I need to download and install the CB language plugin and make language string changes there.

The attached picture shows my default language file plugin.
Two questions:
1. Is this the correct plugin?
2. How do I use this plugin to modify language strings in CB Subs, CB & Group Jive.

Thanks

Are you talking about the zip code field? You can edit the field directly in CB > Field Management and change its field title directly. If you want to translate it into something else you'll need to edit its define, which you can find in the below file.

Hi Kyle,

When I try to edit the title on a standard CB field, like Zipcode, I cannot change the name ("zipcode" - it is greyed out) but I can change the title ("_UE_ZipCode").





Are you saying that if I change the title to _UE_Postal_Code, the title for the Zipcode field will change to Postal Code?

On the other hand, for a CB field that I created, I see the opposite. I can change the title, but not the name, which matches what you describe. (see below)



Which one should I edit to change the field label?

Is there a reason why I cannot upload images to my forum posts? I had a screenshot that was only 100KB and it would not upload. I resized to 60KB and it did not upload either. What is the file size limit???

A field Name can't be changed. Only the Title can be changed. The zipcode field is just a standard field added by the sample data. You're welcome to delete it and create a new field named whatever you like or you can change the Title to whatever you like.

No, because no such language string exists. Change it to "Postal Code" and it'll display exactly as typed.

The filename needs to be alphanumeric only. Don't include spaces or special characters. Ensure the filename is relatively unique and try to avoid uppercase characters. We've strict security to avoid possible issues.
