Change Web Links Default Text

Change the standard Joomla text of the Web Links component

What are the Joomla Web Links

The Joomla Web Links component allows a number of links to be created to other websites of interest. The table of entries can be grouped and then either all or a limited number published on a page.

The Default Text

By default Joomla includes standard text associated with the web links component in the Links page.

Changing the Text

But what if you want to change this text, where do you go to change this text?

Location of the Text

This text comes from your language file that is located in the languages directory of your Joomla site.

Find the section in this english.php file that says:

// components/com_weblinks/*
DEFINE('_WEBLINKS_TITLE','Web Links');
DEFINE('_WEBLINKS_DESC','We are regularly out on the web. When we find a great site we list'
.' it here for you to enjoy.
From the list below choose one of our weblink topics, then select a URL to visit.');
DEFINE('_HEADER_TITLE_WEBLINKS','Web Link');
DEFINE('_SECTION','Section:');
DEFINE('_SUBMIT_LINK','Submit A Web Link');
DEFINE('_URL','URL:');
DEFINE('_URL_DESC','Description:');
DEFINE('_NAME','Name:');
DEFINE('_WEBLINK_EXIST','There is a weblink already with that name, please try again.');
DEFINE('_WEBLINK_TITLE','Your Weblink must contain a title.');

Change the values for the first two lines of text, _WEBLINKS_TITLE and _WEBLINKS_DESC with the words which you wish to appear. For example for the title to be Associated Websites the first entry becomes:

DEFINE(‘_WEBLINKS_TITLE’,’Associated Websites’);
