str_contact_name not working on new site

@ bsimanton

The old site has Form 1.0.2 installed. The new site has Form 2.0.2 installed. The new Form, version 2.0.2 was completely rewritten from the ground up to make is smaller by reusing existing code within the core Connections plugin. A major benefit is Form does not necessarily need updates to “keep up” feature wise with Connections. It also reduces the surface area that potential bugs can exist.

That said… every effort was made to maintain one to one back work compatibility but it was not possible to do so with the str_{*} shortcode options.

So, what can you do now… See this QuickTip.

The values to use to change the “Name” are:

Original string: Name
Text domain: connections
Text context: {leave blank}
Replacement string: Med-Mal Defense Lawyer Info

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help. I was able to get some of the strings changed but my change to the Name string is not showing on the form but the change is being reflected on the Form tab in connection settings. Also I don’t seem able to change the Logo string. We would like to change it to Firm’s Logo

@ bsimanton

Darn, apologies! I forgot Form does have a different text domain.

Original string: Name
Text domain: connections_form
Text context: {leave blank}
Replacement string: Med-Mal Defense Lawyer Info

To change the logo:

Original string: Logo
Text domain: connections
Text context: {leave blank}
Replacement string: Firm's Logo

Hope that helps!

The change for Name worked great, however I am not able to get Logo to change at all, I have even tried changing it to Hello World to no avail. Also we are trying to change the Category string. I am able to get it to change my using the string Categories but the change does not reflect on the form, yet it shows in Connections settings. I have tried using both connections and connections_form in the Text domain. Please advise.

re: changing logo label

Sorry, not sure what to tell you. I just tested it and it worked like expected using these settings:

Original string: Logo
Text domain: connections
Text context: {leave blank}
Replacement string: Firm's Logo

re: changing the Category and Categories labels

Use these:

Original string: Category
Text domain: connections_form
Text context: {leave blank}
Replacement string: Change Me

Original string: Categories
Text domain: connections
Text context: {leave blank}
Replacement string: Change Me

Spelling and capitalization as well as setting the exact original string are extremely important, even an extra space will cause it not to work because it has to be an exact match.
