Hello,

In the login box, I want to change the Nickname, written there, to "Username".

Please tell me how to change it.

Edit language/lang-english.php The line you want is

Code:

define("_NICKNAME","Nickname");

But...to present a consistent user experience, you'll have to go into modules/Your_Account/language/lang-english.php and change all instances of Nickname to Username. There are perhaps a dozen places in that file where Nickname will need to be replaced.

Otherwise you'll get confused people wondering why they're supposed to enter "Sweetums" to get a new password. Wink
