How do I change Module titles to use the language files

This isn't quite working like I hoped, I put in the following code as a block title hoping it would make reference to an entry in the relevant language file, does anyone know if its possible ?

my code was <?php <p>"._TITLE001."</p> ?>
I tried <p>"._TITLE001."</p>
too but to no avail...

Many thanks if someone can help... Very Happy

Interesting challenge! There could be a number of ways to do this. One way, which is admittedly a kludge but is quick, would be the slam dunk method. Say you have define(_TITLE001, 'This is title one'); defined in your language file. In blocks/block-Modules.php, find these lines

Code:

$sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_modules";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
$title = $row[title];

Now, let's assume that you have a module titled _TITLE001 (nothing else). So far so good? Okay! Now, add these lines after the $title = $row[title]; statement above.

Code:

$title = str_replace('_TITLE001',_TITLE001,$title);

I haven't tried it, but it seems like it should work. If not, let me know; it's got to be close. You would just add as many other str_replace statements as you need. Actually, that could be automated too if you're interested Wink
