Changing the SUBJECT and MESSAGE words

Post by tcsails »

Script URL:http://www.wsu.edu/~converse/php7/mboard/mboard.php
Version of script:mboard13
Hosting company:wasu.edu

URL of session_test.php:http://www.wsu.edu/~converse/php7/sessi ... n_test.php

What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: subject

Write your message below:

The board is working fine, but I ideally would like to change SUBJECT to PAPER TITLE and message to PAPER. Is there a relatively easy way to do this?

Thanks,

Terry

You can change any text used in the mboard.php file, open it in a plain text editor. Just make sure you don't change any words that start with $ (like $subject, $message, $_POST['subject'], $_POST['message'], ...) as these are variables used by MBoard.

Note that any changes you make will only be visible on NEW posts, existing posts will remain unchanged.

Thanks for the quick reply and your ongoing help. The text wording changes work great. Great program--exactly what I was looking for.
