Hi, I need some help. I wish to know how to change all the instances where it says "manufacturer" to "author" since i will be selling mainly creative work from different people. I tried going to catalog/admin, language and changing "manufacturer" from there, but somehow it disrupted my "category", "product" and "author" tabs in admin. So i hope someone can help me find where to look to making these changes without affecting the regular functioning of the site.

I'm using opencart 2.3.0.2 (the last version).
I want to change every instance of "manufacturer" for "author," both front-end and back-end, as i will give some users access to edit their products. They will get confused if they see manufacturers.

Basically, you could simply use a program like this:
https://findandreplace.codeplex.com/
to find all instances of Manufacturer, by searching trough a local Copy of your Upload.

Thanks so much. I just hope I don't mess up the code as the system gets upgraded at some point, and it could look for blocks identified as "manufacturer" when replacing with new features, but mine would say "author". i just want to replace "manufacturer" in the panels that are viewable.... like my store and the admin panel. so just the text that is displayed, not the code that may be identiying those pieces of info. so my question is, do you think that if i use that program, it could affect my store after future upgrades of opencart?
Just edit the language files. I would not do a search and replace of all files. Go thru each of the language files in both catalog and admin folders and change it to what you want.
Running Opencart v3.0.3.2 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.
that's what i did initially. i changed several instances of 'manufacturer' that had quotations in the right side of the language files." but somehow that messed up my admin panel, as i couldn't open "categories," "manufacturers" or "products" until i changed it back. so i guess some of them shouldn't be touched. and i am wondering if anyone has any idea which ones i should leave as-is.
I wouldnt do a find and replace as it could replace the actual variables instead of just the "text"
There are a few files that will need to be changed and some have quite a few instances in them
but im feeling generous so you could use this ocmod for default 2.3.0.2

By Nature of things, one has to make a difference between manufacturer and Manufacturer, if one tries to do it this way, those are TWO different Words, and one has to be very specific, when it comes to such!
Just to mention this.

Very true Ernie, i did initially try a find and replace for "manufacturer" but it would change "text_manufacturer" as well as normal text.IP_CAM wrote:By Nature of things, one has to make a difference between manufacturer and Manufacturer, if one tries to do it this way, those are TWO different Words, and one has to be very specific, when it comes to such!

I searched for this kind of module at extensions and forum from last 8days but finally Google search brings me to your post.
Please guide me how can i change "Products" to "Service" everywhere in the store.
Is there any possibility of selling Services and Products in a single store?
Thanks for your time and kind help
