Title: Change pricing text
Post by: pushthepixel on July 10, 2012, 05:13:11 AM
A couple of the terms used in the shopping cart are just awkward, so I wanted to change them. Any idea where I could?

For example, when it displays the price, it says "Price with discount". Thats just weird. Technically correct, but awkward.

Hi pushthepixel,

a nice simple problem.

This solution applies to all text found in Joomla, not just Virtuemart.

The text you're looking for is hardcoded into the language files. However changing them directly may get reverted once the system does an update. The far better solution is to use Language Overrides.

Admin > Extensions > Language Manager > Overrides
/administrator/index.php?option=com_languages&view=override&layout=edit

Simply create a new item, and do a VALUE search for "Price with discount" in the right hand panel. This will give you results which contain your phrases. Then it's simply a case of finding and altering the one you want to change.

I hope this helps.
