Component label customization

0
Hello,

I am working on a site which will have lectures from different scholars on different topics and I want to customize the labels as follows:

Album = Topic
Artist = Scholar
Song = Lecture

I have change all the strings in en-GB.com_muscol.ini but its not showing the changed labels on the front end. I have done this before in Music collection 2.1 pro but its not working with 2.3. Please suggest.

Regards,

Yameen

Never mind, my mistake. I changed both sides instead of changing just the right side. So instead of ALBUMS="Topics" I changed it to TOPICS="Topics". Any input regarding "Also, can the search bar (the bar with alphabets) be customized to search albums instead of artists?

    no, the search bar is only for artists... to make it for albums would require to create a brand new Albums view that is not available in MC. that would require custom coding work.

    I am using com_muscol_2.3.1_community_pro_2.5. File is attached. Also, can the search bar be customized to search albums instead of artists?

    the file look pretty much ok but I can see some sentences that don't have translation.
    even if you don't want a translation, they must be like WHATEVER=""

    you must add the ="" part.
    can you check?

    Thanks for the response. Do you have any plans to implement that functionality in near future or nobody ever asked about it?
