[SOLVED] How do I change "register" to "sign-up" in login

[SOLVED] How do I change "register" to "sign-up" in login was created by MissyW
How can I change the prompt which says "Register" in the login module so it says "Sign-up" instead? (Have browsed the language files and module files, but can't seem to find it.)

Language string within your language files. Please see the below example.

IN: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/default_language/default_language.php
ON: Line 242
DEFINE('_UE_REGISTER','Register');

:) Thanks! I have been able to change the prompt in the login module to say "New User? - click here to Register".
Only trouble is, it has changed the submit button at the bottom of the registration form to say the same thing, which looks a bit silly.

I will try to work out if I can customise the submit button on the registration form separately.

Checkout the CB-login-module parameters.

A.) You can change the appearance of the links (i.e. buttons, icons only ...)

B.) You can also hide the default "Create account" link. Than you might add your own custom link in the pre-/post text areas. In those textareas, you can use any HTML and also your own language definitions!

Yeah, it's kind of a widely used string. No worries as you can edit the template directly and change the string for the registration page manually with the below.

IN: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/default.php
ON: Line 295
FROM:
<span class="cb_button_wrapper"><input type="submit" value="<?php echo $this->registerButton; ?>" class="button" /></span>
TO:
<span class="cb_button_wrapper"><input type="submit" value="Register" class="button" /></span>

B.) You can also hide the default "Create account" link. Than you might add your own custom link in the pre-/post text areas. In those textareas, you can use any HTML and also your own language definitions!

This could work, but I can't recall if the pre/post texts are generated inside the FORM element. If they are then you could quite easily supply a custom submit button.

Thanks! It worked, though I also had to change the same line of code on line 257.

You're a hero! :)
