On the menu bar it says "Member Teams" is there a way to change this to a custom name such as Official Clans?

You are in luck. I just wrote a tutorial on Invisionize for this, so I'll copy and paste this.

Changing Board Header Link Tutorial

First, u MUST be a root admin to do this, because you have to run a MySQL query...

ACP=>MySQL Toolbox=>scroll down to white box...paste in there the below query..make sure to change things where I have noted below.

UPDATE ibf_components SET com_url_title='NEWTITLE' WHERE com_title='Member Teams';

YOU MUST replace the NEWTITLE with what the new link will have in it, whether it be clans, etc...keep all quotes in tact.

Then hit Run Query..you should get something that says it was succesful.

NEXT..this is very important..otherwise it will not work...

ACP=>Tools and Settings=>Cache Control=>Find the one called 'components' and use the box at the right to click on 'Update Cache'.

That should work...let me know if run across any problems.

in 2.1.3 its just components as the table....luckily i have phpmyadmin

[compguy11]

Correction: This tutorial has been made for the DEFAULT installation of IPB...as far as I know, the default table prefix is still ibf_...if your table prefix is NOT ibf_, then you must change the query.

And there was me routing through the code to find someway to change it....

Thanks for the info!

[ezraholm]

ok... but how to change everything? like every "member team/team" txt into guild/guilds?

For now, that will require going through the files and changing all the refrences to teams to whatever...you'll also have to go through the skin bits.

Warning: Don't modify any of our files unless you have PHP experience and you know what you are doing. We will not help you fix it if you render the file not working.

[ezraholm]

ok ok... done a bit already and working fine... but i can use some help... anyone?

hey compguy, im running 2.2.2 and i already know i dont use the default table prefix because when i had IPS fix the -1 PM count they said it was different, how do i find out what it is? and if i cant do you think you could do it for me if i give you all of the information

[compguy11]

Here is the best way of figuring it out. Open your ACP (make sure you are a root admin) and go to the SQL Toolbox in the admin tab. There will be a list of tables... find the one that has the word components in it. Normally, this table is called 'ibf_components', so you will need to modify the query mentioned above so that 'ibf_components' in the query matches whatever your table name really is...

Does that make sense?

[Durty]

ok i checked and the table i have is ibf_components and the query doesnt work

do i have to change the link or just change it fron NEWTITLE to Clans? bcuz the 2nd instruction threw me off a little

[compguy11]

The word NEWTITLE is just a placeholder... you put what you want in there...

Also, did you do the cache update that I talk about in that post?

[Durty]

yup, im doing it right but when i hit update cache, its not doing it when i click view contents it still says Member Teams

[compguy11]

Did the SQL query return a specific error?

[Durty]

nope, it says it was ran successfully

[compguy11]

If you want to PM me your root ACP login details and what you what to change it to, I will take a look and get it worked out for ya.

I updated both com_url_title and com_title and in the sql I can see that they are updated, I rebuilted the skin? deleted cashe from the browser but still no luck... what to do?

[compguy11]

It's not rebuilding the skin cache... read it more carefully.. there is a specific cache set that needs to be updated for this to work.

[newbigmir]

When you go to "Team Member List" youcan see there "Member Ranking"

How to change the default two ranks "Team Leader" and "Team Co-Leader"?

[compguy11]

That's all controlled by /cache/lang_cache/en/lang_teams.php.

Read the directions at the top of the file for changing that stuff.
