What if I want to translate the commands in admin.php to another language, is there any help or helpfile for that? In my homecountry, Faroe Islands, we use the faroese language, and to some it might be confusing doing all the updates on their homepage with commands in english. Do somebody have an easy-to-use solution for this?

And is it possible to change the name of the file admin.php to something else, so it is not so easy to find for them, who have nothing to do in the administration page?

Hi einslistir,

Ther'es no helpfile for translating, and we haven't added any features for that yet. But it is something we plan to address at some point in the future.

For now the simplest method would be to just make a backup of the existing files and then do a search for the word you want to replace and then replace it. Most of the code and html is separated enough that it shouldn't be too hard.

And yes, you can rename admin.php to anything else you like (.php) and it will work fine. There's no hardcoded links to admin.php.

Hope that helps!

Do you have an editor program that lets you search across multiple files?

The default menu files can be found in /lib/menus/default/ and you'd find the files for each menu form (list, edit, etc) in there.

Hope that helps!
