Editing Letters of “Nature of Third part”

Maintaining my Dolibarr
5

Just to explain the long way thinks are done;

  1. First, find the string that has to be translated in the lang file. i.e. “Nature of Third Party” corresponds to “NatureOfThirdParty”
  2. In the “list.php” find the field that corresponds to the string. I.e. for “NatureOfThirdParty” the field is “customerorsupplier”
  3. In the same file, search for the field name i.e. “customerorsupplier”. You can encounter multiples definitions and usually, the last one is that displays the field. In this case:
// Type
   if (!empty($arrayfields['customerorsupplier']['checked'])) {
   	print '<td class="center">';
   	print $companystatic->getTypeUrl(1);
   	print '</td>';
   	if (!$i) {
   		$totalarray['nbfield']++;
   	}
   }

And we have the function that shows the field i.e. “$companystatic->getTypeUrl(1);”

What is left to do is open the “.class.php" file in the "/class” folder. As we are already in “societe” as main folder, that means we need to open “/societe/class/societe.class.php” and search for “public function getTypeUrl(” (note that I use just one bracket, as there are or can be arguments to the function, and if we use getTypeUrl() we may find nothing).

And as result: here we are. All the options to output the fields. We have to edit the part Between “> something here ” as this is what we see on the browser.

For example, if we change '.dol_substr($langs->trans("Prospect"), 0, 1).' to '.dol_substr($langs->trans("Prospect"), 0, 4).' instead of “P” we will see “Pros”, and if we change it to just '.$langs->trans("Prospect").' we will see the full word “Prospect” translated to the current language.

And if you want a completely different letter or word, instead of all the above just replace '.dol_substr($langs->trans("Prospect"), 0, 1).' with whatever you want.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any manual change to the core Dolibarr files that is done directly, instead of using a module, will be lost upon version upgrade
