    Hi,
    Thank you for your great plugin. It is working well but there is a one minor issue we would like to change. Since we are offering tractors then instead of “kilometers” (or km) and “miles” we need to show “hours” or “hr”
    It would be nice to know how to modify distance unit km (or miles) on the search dropdown and listings to “hours” or “hr”. For example: instead of 2500km on search dropdown it shpuld be 2500 hrs. And on the listing page instad od 2500km it should be 2500 hrs.

    Is there a way to accomplish that without worrying about plugin updates changing it back? Any snippet to add inside functions.php

    Thanks again for your great work

    Hey,

    Although there’s no official support for this yet, you can try this in the following ways:

    – Use the following snippet to change certain terms, like miles to hours. https://gist.github.com/barrykooij/9db8cd6e93dd8bae2298271d0188d7e8

    – Override some of our template files to change the output of some parts of the templates. You can read more about this here: https://www.wpcarmanager.com/kb/overriding-content-templates/

    I can’t do the actual customizations for you, if you’re unable to do them yourself you might want to consider hiring a developer. Good luck with your customizations and thank you for using WP Car Manager.

    Kind Regards,

    Hi,
    Thank you for your support. Could you point me put which template files should we modify? I took a look and did not find plase wheere mileage strings could be changed. All i see is
    <?php echo Never5\WPCarManager\Helper\Format::mileage( $mileage ); ?>

    Also, here and there in templates there is code <?php echo $mileage; ?> but no “miles” or “km”

    WCould you point me out where can i change strings for “Format: mileage” or “distantce_unit” or “miles” or “km”?

    Thanks

    Hey,

    So while writing that snippet for you we discovered (actually a user did) that not all distance units are correctly translatable at the moment. The first snippet I linked can be placed in your theme’s functions.php and should change all old unites to the new ones you set in the snippet. It’s probably best waiting with implementing this until we release 1.3.0, which should be done this week.

    Kind Regards,
