#1319 Edit the fileds

[Ramana Reddy]

Hi,
I want to edit the following fields. Please find the attached screens. Which are the files need to be altered in order to change the below fields.
1: Areas

2: Want to remove the Full Descritpion and change area

[Campbell Morrison]

(1) What changes do you want to make to the Areas field? Do you know that you can change it from a list to a <select> element by setting

$area_list_format = "select";

in your config file?

Or if you just want to change the word "Areas" to something else then you can use $vocab_override setting, eg

$vocab_override['en']['areas'] = "Whatever you want";

If you want to make more far-reaching changes then you'll have to edit the MRBS code, in particular the function make_area_select_html() in functions.inc.

(2) Again, what change do you want to make to the area field? If you just want to chane the text in the label set

$vocab_override['en']['area'] = "Whatever you want";

If you want to remove the Full Description field then you'll need to make quite a few changes to the MRBS code. The easiest thing to do is to create a custom CSS file that gives all the places where it appears a property of display: none. You may also need to modify edit_entry_handler.php so that it sets the full description to ''. However you are probably best off just living with it: the more changes you make to the MRBS code, the more difficult it is to upgrade when new releases of MRBS are issued.
