Overwrite Mod text using cust_text.php

[Brett]

After installing a Mod, I wish to change one text field set by the Mod. I do not, at this stage, wish to change to a private Mod.

I thought if I included this in cust_text.php after

//Mods should put their changes before this line, local changes should come after it.

I thought it would overwrite as last .

Is this not possible please?

Brett,

It would be easier to answer your question if you provided the actually example of the mod's text you are trying to override, since not all mods are following the new TNG v12 custom text guidelines. 

Logically what you are wanting to do should be possible but only if the mod is currently putting its custom text variables before the new anchor in the cust_text.php files

Mod is putting similar to:

$text['here'] = "here";

and following Mod guidelines.

I have added my preferred:

$text['there'] = "there";

as the last before php close.

But page still shows Mod value.

OK I have it as expected on my local server. Seems to be a conflict with the live site.

I will look for any differences.

Brett,

Since you again did not provide what mod you are trying to override text, it is difficult to determine why the override is not working.

However, $text['there'] = "there"; is not an override to $text['here'] = "here";

Both must used the same $text variable name

That was a typing error. It should have been

$text['here'] = "here";

and following Mod guidelines.

I have added my preferred:

$text['here'] = "there";

 

I have it working on local server and one live site. Does not work on another site. Currently installing another test on that same server to see if that works.

There are no errors in logs etc.

Brett,

You might check whether you have a cust_text.php file in the TNG root folder on the site where the override is not working

[Brett]

Thanks Ken, I will have a look.

No file but I have identified the problem.

FileZilla was uploading as ascii not binary from just the one directory on that site.

All fixed by making binary as default not auto as I normally use.
