I want to change wherever my shop refers to the word "manufacturer" to the word "artist". There are a lot lot of references in the php files so i don't know where to start. Is there an easy way of doing this, or is it even possible? Please help, i'm still very new to this

You can change the heading in the manufactures box in /includes/languages/english.php

// manufacturers box text in includes/boxes/manufacturers.php

define('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'Manufacturers');

Thanks, although that only changes the heading. I need to change it everywhere on the site, e.g in search results, product attributes etc. Must I change all of the references to "manufacturer" manualy?

yes you will need to do it manually.

 

I suggest that you use a "text search" software program on you computer to search thru the files to find all areas to change. Note you will only need to change the language files - not the php script files.

 

The files to change will only be located in or under the languages folder.
