[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Now updated to support V4. See Appointments for CS-Cart.[/font][/color]



Must say, upgrading to V4 from V3?..a VERY VERY VERY delicate process! If you have not done so you will definitely need Product Code Generator which makes upgrading so much easier since the Import/Export does not carry over Product IDs. When you install Product Code Generator, make sure that one of the generated sections contains the Product ID, just in case the original Product ID comes in handy like it did for me! Wow! What a ride.

Other CS-Cart Plugins

We have just installed this appointment plug-in. I would like to customize the wording in the Product Appointment Box. For instance, instead of the heading being Meeting Details I would like it to say Appointment Info. Also would like to delete the word Meeting before each section, for example Meeting Time I would like to just say Time.



Also in the Add-On Admin area in the Meeting Location section with the drop down choices, can I add options to the drop down or change the existing text? Instead of Conference Call I would like it to say Telephone Reading.



Thank you for getting back to me.

try searching admin>languages then type in what you want to search form then change it there.



JOhn

Thanks, John…that helped me change the Form Field names and Box title. If you have any hints as to where I would find the CONFERENCE CALL text to change that would be great. It is not in the Languages area.

Not sure without seeing exactly where you mean,

Hey, John…



I have a screenshot below of the text I am wanting to change on the Appointment add-on. It is in the Appointment Method drop down box (with your instructions previously I changed this section's name to Appointment Method…it use to be called Location).



Our vendors will only actually have phone appointments, so I'd like to delete all the other drop down options and change the words CONFERENCE CALL to Phone Appointment.



Thank you for your assistance.

Is anyone able to assist me with the above request?

Should be able to search for “conference call” in the languages. Then change it there.

@clips…I did that search in languages. It gave me “no data found”.

Read over your commits, etc in your lab area but am unclear if this is still supported and if so is it good with 4.3.9?
