Question The great "How to change the word Karma" discussion

I am working on a site where I wish to employ various themes and titles that are related to the topic of the site. Now I see where I can change the ranking titles and such, but I don't know where to go to change the name "Karma" to something else. Could someone with greater insight into Kunena help me out here? I'm extremely new to this application and I'm sure if I scour each of the files I'll eventually come up with it but I'd really appreciate any help in this matter.

Thank you!

The solution may be as simple as editing the file ../administrator/components/com_kunena/language/kunena.english.php and replacing the line that read to or whatever you have in mind. You might also need to change (in the same file) similarly.

Good luck. I hope this helps ... and I hope my own rapidly depleting karma isn't further diminished/exhausted as a result :laugh:

Hello,


i had a quick question

how can i change Karma in posts to say Faith or Honor Or Thanks?
some of my members don't know what karma is and we go by a Honor system so is there anyway to modify the word karma + - to say Honor + -?


:silly:

Thanks!

Check your language file in administrator/components/com_kunena/language
and search for "karma"

/administrator/components/com_kunena/language/kunena.english.php

~ 985ff.
//new in 1.0.3 stable
//Karma
DEFINE('_KARMA','Karma');
etc.

Can i rename karma like "points" or "thanks" in kunena?

i was try to change it but always fail :blush:

Edit the kunena.yourlanguage.php, if you use only english it ist kunena.english.php.

you find this file in

your_joomla_installation_folder/administrator/components/com_kunena/language



Search these strings

DEFINE ('_KUNENA_USRL_KARMA','Karma');
DEFINE('_KUNENA_ADMIN_CONFIG_USERLIST_KARMA','Show Karma');
DEFINE('_COM_A_KARMA', 'Show Karma indicator');
DEFINE('_COM_A_KARMA_DESC', 'Set to "Yes" to show user karma and related buttons (increase / decrease) if the user stats are activated.');
DEFINE('_KARMA', 'Karma');
DEFINE('_KARMA_WAIT', 'You can modify only one person's karma every 6 hours. <br/>Please wait until this timeout period has passed before modifying any person's karma again.');
DEFINE('_KARMA_SELF_DECREASE', 'Please do not attempt to decrease your own karma!');
DEFINE('_KARMA_SELF_INCREASE', 'Your karma has been decreased for attempting to increase it yourself!');
DEFINE('_KARMA_DECREASED', 'User's karma decreased. If you are not taken back to the topic in a few moments,');
DEFINE('_KARMA_INCREASED', 'User's karma increased. If you are not taken back to the topic in a few moments,');

and perhaps there are a few more (search with a good texteditor, e.g. notepad++)


And change the word karma after this DEFINE ('..',
example
DEFINE('_KARMA', 'Karma');
to
DEFINE('_KARMA', 'Points');

thanks lintzy...its work :woohoo: ...i have changed it now :silly:
