Change menu wording and labels on admin

    OK. I’ve figured out part of it, but I’m still trying to change the wording in the admin Events menu and some labels on the tribe_events post page.

    Using the following similar code, I am able to change part of the menu and labels, but still cannot figure out how to change “Event Categories” to “Employees” for Menu AND Labels.

    What are [5][0], [10][0], [15][0] supposed to be?

    And what $labels->?????? am I supposed to use?

    ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA?

    /*****************************************************/
    function change_post_menu_label() {
    global $menu;
    global $submenu;
    $menu[6][0] = ‘Job Info’;

    ****$submenu[‘edit.php’][5][0] = ‘Jobs’; WRONG
    ****$submenu[‘edit.php’][10][0] = ‘Add Jobs’; WRONG
    ****$submenu[‘edit.php’][15][0] = ‘Employees’; // Change name for categories WRONG

    echo ”;
    }

    function change_post_object_label() {
    global $wp_post_types;
    $labels = &$wp_post_types[‘tribe_events’]->labels;
    $labels->name = ‘Job Info’;
    $labels->singular_name = ‘Job’;
    $labels->add_new = ‘Add Job’;
    $labels->add_new_item = ‘Add Job’;
    $labels->edit_item = ‘Edit Jobs’;
    $labels->new_item = ‘Job’;
    $labels->view_item = ‘View Job’;
    $labels->search_items = ‘Search Jobs’;
    $labels->not_found = ‘No Jobs found’;
    $labels->not_found_in_trash = ‘No Jobs found in Trash’;
    $labels->taxonomy = ‘xxxx’;

    }
    add_action( ‘init’, ‘change_post_object_label’ );
    add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘change_post_menu_label’ );

    Seems like every time I post for help, I figure out something else…

    So, here we go again….

    I figured out the admin menu issue. I used this
    $submenu[‘edit.php?post_type=tribe_events’][5][0]
    $submenu[‘edit.php?post_type=tribe_events’][10][0]
    $submenu[‘edit.php?post_type=tribe_events’][15][0]
    $submenu[‘edit.php?post_type=tribe_events’][16][0]

    Now to still figure out the page labels.

    Although gathered from the archives here. This does not work.

    /**
* Customize your tribe event calendar meta displays with a variety of methods.
* Place this in your functions.php file within your theme
*/
add_action( 'wp_head', 'custom_event_meta' );
function custom_event_meta(){

// customize just the label
tribe_set_meta_label( 'tribe_event_group_custom_meta', 'New Custom Meta Label', 'meta_group' );

// reregister meta (this will merge settings into the original registered settings)
tribe_register_meta( 'tribe_event_website', array('classes' => array('meta_before'=> array('url')),'label' => __( 'More Info:' ),'register_overwrite' => true, 'filter_callback' => array('Tribe_Register_Meta', 'event_website')
) );

}

    Hi Neil,

    That last piece of code relates to our meta walker (which displays various pieces of event data on the front end) – it is nothing to do with the admin menus which is what I think you’re trying to change.

    I’m afraid we can’t offer much help with customizations of this nature, though we can definitely leave this open in case another member of the community is able to chip in with an answer ??

    There may indeed be some plugins out there which offer a visual means of editing and rearranging admin menus.

    Thanks!

    Thanks.

    There are some plugins that allow for admin menu and admin page text changes, but none of them affect this plugin…

    No coding that worked elsewhere that I have found on any forums anywhere affect this plugin.

    obviously this plugin uses something different than “standard” WordPress functions and coding. That’s where the confusion lies…

    However, I KNOW this is not IMPOSSIBLE!

    Thanks again!

    It’s certainly not impossible, it’s just beyond the level of support we offer here on the www.remarpro.com forum ??

    obviously this plugin uses something different than “standard” WordPress functions and coding. That’s where the confusion lies…

    Statements like this can give people the wrong impression of our plugin – we’ve worked hard to do things the WordPress way and ensure it plays nicely wherever practicable – for instance, the submenus are registered from within the admin_menu action, using the add_submenu_page() API function.

    If you see an exception to this or can explain why our approach is somehow non-standard we’re definitely open and receptive to the criticism and would consider making changes to improve the situation. Right now, however, I don’t really think that is a fair or valid point.
