Infigo allows you

00:00:14:21 - 00:00:18:27
to customize most text labels
and content within each storefront.

00:00:19:15 - 00:00:21:29
In this tutorial,
we'll show you how to locate

00:00:21:29 - 00:00:25:28
and amend these text strings.

00:00:26:03 - 00:00:30:05
So much of the language strings
within your Infigo storefront front end

00:00:30:05 - 00:00:33:21
and back end can be customized to suit
you and your customers.

00:00:34:21 - 00:00:37:25
So we'll investigate an example
of each of these in this tutorial

00:00:38:08 - 00:00:42:25
in our frontend will update the change
password page title,

00:00:43:06 - 00:00:45:10
which is part of all my account settings.

00:00:49:04 - 00:00:51:15
we'll change those
to read security settings

00:00:52:19 - 00:00:55:28
and as our back end example,
we'll just change our dashboard

00:00:55:28 - 00:01:07:01
label here on the menu
to something like summary.

00:01:07:19 - 00:01:11:01
So to begin, we're
going to navigate in our Infigo admin

00:01:11:01 - 00:01:13:27
area to our languages page.

00:01:14:03 - 00:01:16:16
So just search for languages.

00:01:18:29 - 00:01:19:18
We then need to

00:01:19:18 - 00:01:22:08
click the View String Resources button

00:01:22:19 - 00:01:25:25
on the published language string
that you'd like to amend.

00:01:26:08 - 00:01:28:27
So in my case, it's English

00:01:29:19 - 00:01:33:13
and quick view string resources.

00:01:33:13 - 00:01:36:25
So manual searching for the language
string that you want is unlikely

00:01:36:25 - 00:01:41:14
to be effective due to the very large
amounts of available language strings

00:01:41:23 - 00:01:43:26
that we have within the Infigo software.

00:01:45:11 - 00:01:47:23
We do provide filter capabilities,
allow you

00:01:47:23 - 00:01:51:26
to locate the required language strings
with ease, and you'll see that

00:01:51:26 - 00:01:58:16
there's a few filter options
available in the different columns.

00:01:58:16 - 00:02:02:17
It's recommended that you use the filter
funnel icon at the top of the value.

00:02:02:18 - 00:02:03:11
column

00:02:03:17 - 00:02:08:05
So the value column is by far
the easiest way to search for the wording

00:02:08:14 - 00:02:18:07
or text that you wish to change.

00:02:18:07 - 00:02:21:28
So you're able to perform this search
using a number of approaches.

00:02:22:02 - 00:02:27:00
So if you know the entire language string,
then you can use a search

00:02:27:10 - 00:02:29:11
which is using the is equal to,

00:02:30:06 - 00:02:32:25
for example, as a result,

00:02:32:25 - 00:02:36:19
that's likely to give you
a smaller number of returned options.

00:02:38:11 - 00:02:41:09
So for example, if I say

00:02:41:09 - 00:02:44:20
basket, that's going to filter that down

00:02:44:20 - 00:02:50:11
to all of the entries
which only have the word basket.

00:02:50:11 - 00:02:51:21
On the flip side.

00:02:51:21 - 00:02:54:14
If I only know
part of the language string,

00:02:54:24 - 00:02:59:01
then you're able to change
that search parameter there to contains

00:03:00:15 - 00:03:04:06
and that will show me all of the values
which contain a basket

00:03:05:07 - 00:03:07:07
which is likely to give more results,

00:03:07:07 - 00:03:10:19
but it will cast a wider net.

00:03:11:14 - 00:03:14:00
You can see there's other filter options
available as well.

00:03:14:00 - 00:03:19:01
So is not equal to starts
with and ends with.

00:03:19:01 - 00:03:23:01
And you can combine that
with a second search parameter as well

00:03:23:01 - 00:03:26:00
if you wish to do so.

00:03:29:23 - 00:03:30:22
So in our example,

00:03:30:22 - 00:03:34:09
we're going to change one of the language
strings in our account settings.

00:03:34:24 - 00:03:35:23
So if I go back here

00:03:35:23 - 00:03:40:08
and have a look at what I want to change,
I want to change this change

00:03:40:08 - 00:03:44:12
password phrasing to something
like security settings.

00:03:45:12 - 00:03:47:22
So the easiest
way to do this is to actually directly

00:03:47:22 - 00:03:51:04
copy and paste our language
string that we want to change.

00:03:51:24 - 00:03:54:06
I can tell that
that's the full language string

00:03:55:08 - 00:03:57:20
so I can filter for is equal to

00:03:58:27 - 00:04:00:20
and then paste the value that I want

00:04:00:20 - 00:04:01:25
to change

00:04:04:03 - 00:04:04:29
that filters down.

00:04:04:29 - 00:04:10:03
And I can see in this case
that I have four available options.

00:04:10:09 - 00:04:13:12
Now we need to figure out
which one is the one we want to change,

00:04:13:19 - 00:04:16:10
and this is where we start
to look in the resource name.

00:04:17:03 - 00:04:20:04
So you should only use the resource
name column to identify

00:04:20:12 - 00:04:22:26
if this value is the correct instance.

00:04:23:14 - 00:04:26:23
So the resource name
normally contains page names

00:04:26:23 - 00:04:30:29
that the value will appear on
and a little more information.

00:04:31:25 - 00:04:34:20
So you never want to actually change
the resource name itself

00:04:34:20 - 00:04:39:12
as this will break
links on your storefront itself.

00:04:41:23 - 00:04:42:07
So in our

00:04:42:07 - 00:04:45:04
case, I can take a look
through the available options here,

00:04:45:14 - 00:04:48:10
and I think this top one is likely
the one I want to change.

00:04:48:10 - 00:04:50:15
So account change password

00:04:51:13 - 00:04:54:07
is not a button that I want to change
so I can rule this one out.

00:04:54:29 - 00:04:58:15
So I'm just going to go ahead and click
edit over on the right hand side

00:04:59:09 - 00:05:03:01
and enter my new language strength

00:05:08:02 - 00:05:09:02
click update.

00:05:09:02 - 00:05:12:12
It will now disappear from that list
because it no longer matches the filter.

00:05:12:25 - 00:05:16:12
However, if I go and refresh the page
that language string appears on,

00:05:17:00 - 00:05:18:11
it will instantly update.

00:05:18:11 - 00:05:21:24
So if I've chosen the correct language
string, we'll see an instance update

00:05:22:07 - 00:05:23:14
in those.

00:05:23:14 - 00:05:25:07
in how that’s displayed.

00:05:28:06 - 00:05:29:07
and we follow exactly

00:05:29:07 - 00:05:33:00
the same process on the back end as well.

00:05:33:20 - 00:05:37:20
So we said in our example
that we wanted to change this dashboard

00:05:37:28 - 00:05:40:13
word here to summary or something
like that.

00:05:41:08 - 00:05:41:23
Exactly.

00:05:41:23 - 00:05:44:11
The same process is followed
in exactly the same window.

00:05:45:03 - 00:05:46:14
So I'm going to search for

00:05:47:14 - 00:05:48:29
some relevant search parameters.

00:05:48:29 - 00:05:54:12
So I'll just go for dashboard.

00:05:54:12 - 00:05:59:27
That shows me all of the entries,
and then I can filter down

00:05:59:27 - 00:06:02:15
through my resource name
and try and find one that's

00:06:03:11 - 00:06:05:14
the most suitable to the one
I'm looking for.

00:06:06:20 - 00:06:09:26
So this is on my administration menu
over on the left hand side.

00:06:10:08 - 00:06:13:00
So it stands to reason that our main menu

00:06:13:04 - 00:06:16:25
dashboard
might be the one I'm looking for.

00:06:17:13 - 00:06:20:26
So edit that to summary

00:06:21:05 - 00:06:22:08
update

00:06:26:06 - 00:06:29:24
and then refresh the page.

00:06:29:27 - 00:06:33:03
And if I've chosen the correct
string that will now update.
