How do I change wording here (complete novice!)
Permalink
I know next to nothing about websites! I'm trying to update ours at work though, I just needed to change "special breaks" to "special offers" in a link on the home page. Thought it might be simple but seemingly not (for me anyway!). The relevant html is below. I googled "class" and it says that this is "used to point to a class in a style sheet". So I'm guessing that class "specialbreaks" is something that is set up somewhere and I need to go and edit it somehow. Can anyone help?
<div id="top-nav">
<ul id="nav">
<li class="top"><a class="specialbreaks" title="Special Offers" href="/special-breaks/"><strong>Special Offers</strong></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="top-nav">
<ul id="nav">
<li class="top"><a class="specialbreaks" title="Special Offers" href="/special-breaks/"><strong>Special Offers</strong></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Hi and thanks for the reply.
I really am pretty clueless though! How would I go about finding where it's being generated?

what are you trying to change? the class? or the link?
changing the class could cause style problems if its used,
The code is either being generated in the theme or a custom block template

The two bits of text in the html that say "special offers" originally said "special breaks". I changed them both expecting the wording on the website to change, but it didn't. So I'm sort of assuming that this 'class="specialbreaks"' thing is some sort of link to a graphic/text thing held somewhere else, and that it's this that I need to change.
Its output in the autonav block in view.php, as your using it as your header its possible this is the header_menu.php
But its all CMS so it should be applied from the Page properties.
Check you page title/ Page alias and maybe see if there is a custom attribute applying something(this should not really be the case)
If its a custom template it will be in
root->blocks->autonav->templates->custom_template.php or custom_template/view.php
Just noticed I think I know what you mean, ignore the class that will break your navigation if you change it.
Go to your Page in question "Special Offers" click "Edit" -> "Properties" -> Click tab "Page Paths and Locations" edit the special-returns to be special-offers
then I would add your old url as an additional url just in-case its been cached, by google

Hi thanks for trying to help me but I'm still at a loss.
I think maybe I'm not explaining what I want properly (or maybe I am and not understanding the replies!).
This is the website in question:
www.www.castlefield-hotel.co.uk...
On the menu bar under the phone number there's a link with text on it that reads "Special Breaks". All I want to do is change this to read "Special Offers", keeping the link unchanged.

Ahh its an Image :)
your offending bit is in the css
castlefield_styles.css
line 166
#nav li a.specialbreaks {
background: url(http://www.castlefield-hotel.co.uk/themes/castlefieldhotel/images/li_btn_specialbreaks.png);
width:92px;
}
I would replace the image found here
http://www.castlefield-hotel.co.uk/themes/castlefieldhotel/images/l...
You would need the blank button for this

the class is not show to the end user, its just used to reference css styles, (colors, sizes, positioning etc)
if you want to change it then you are going to have to find where its being generated
