Change the word Avatar for Photo
Permalink
Hi
Is there a way to change the word Avatar to Photo in the members page ?
I have a members site and the members are mostly over the age of 50. I am receiving a lot of feedback about confusion when adding a photo to their profile.
Most of them do not know the word Avatar and are requesting it to say Photo.
Is there a way to change the word Avatar to Photo in the members page ?
Many thanks for any help

I still don't know how to do this, can anyone help?
I can have a look at this tomorrow, because I think you can copy avatar.php from 'webroot/concrete/single_pages/profile' to 'webroot/single_pages/profile' and edit the output sent from that file. You might also want to change the name of the page (Edit > page properties) so the link on the profile page corresponds with what you want to call it (like 'Your photo').
It's too late here now, but if you haven't had any luck or better suggestion I will try it out tomorrow.
Please post back in this thread if (or if not) you want me to have a look.

Copy 'webroot/concrete/single_pages/profile/avatar.php' to 'webroot/single_pages/profile/avatar.php'. You will need to create the profile directory in 'webroot/single_pages'.
Edit your newly copied file ('webroot/single_pages/profile/avatar.php') into what is shown below:
Row 6
row 18
Go to 'Dashboard > Sitemap' and edit properties on the page Avatar (a subpage to Profile). You will need to click on 'Options' and choose 'Show System Pages' in order to see the Profile pages.
Rename the page Avatar on the Standard Properties tab into something like 'User Photo'.
Note: If you later choose to refresh the newly renamed User Photo page under 'Dashboad > Single pages' it will be renamed back into Avatar and the link on your profile pages will go back to Avatar instead of User Photo. Not a big deal, but just so you know.
If you later want to switch back to using avatar instead of photo, just delete the profile directory in 'webroot/single_pages' and refresh your single page from dashboard.
There might be another way to solve this, but this works.

Hello
A Big thank you for replying with such a detailed solution.
I have had a look at my files. I must stress that i am not a cody and all that i know i have taught myself, so i am a little worry about messing it up.
I can see the files your talking about. Can i just clarify when you say create a profile directory, Does that means that i have to create a folder and name it profile? and then copy the contents of file into it?
Why can't i just edit the file that is in first webroot?
Thanks for your patience

The reason you create the profile folder outside the concrete folder is to not loose your changes in the next update. It also makes it possible to easily revert your changes by just deleting the files/folder.
Everything you put outside the concrete folder overrides the core files.

Ah i understand. ok thanks i shall let you know how i get on
It won't let me create the folder 'profile' because i have a file in single_pages folder already called 'profile'
The file that is named profile when i opened it the code inside looks the same as code your asking me to edit (see attached pic)
If you have a file named profile.php in 'webroot/single_pages' you can delete it and follow my instructions, but make a backup copy of it first so you can roll back in case my instruction somehow(?) would break your site.
I'm off to bed now, but looking forward to read about your progress tomorrow.

Hi , I just wanted to finish this forum post by thanking you again for all your help. I am not that educated with editing the php files of my site and C5 support were helping me with a custom block that i was having made and i mentioned the Avatar/photo problem to them and they kindly fixed it for me, and as i was worried about messing it up i was happy for them to do it instead.
Thanks again
Thanks again
