Edit "Special" menu category
 
How do I correct the spelling of the GC link in the Special menu please?
Now it's saying "Gift certificates" and I just want to capitalize the "C".. it's the only item with lower case :? I was able to find the .php using firefox inspect element but can't seem to locate it under Edit Templates :(
Thanks

Welcome to xcart!

The very first thing you need to learn to minimize hunt and peck and endless clicking:

WEBMASTER MODE
http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Using_Webmaster_mode

Webmaster mode will point you to every template, variable and language

Using Webmaster mode, you'll see that the special menu is a template
/skin/common_files/customer/special.tpl

and the special menu is made up of many other template calls, such as:
{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne ""}
{include file="modules/Gift_Certificates/gc_menu.tpl"}
{/if}

OK -- let's look at gc_menu.tpl

<a href="giftcert.php">{$lng.lbl_gift_certificates}

Ah -- the text for the menu is a language entry.

OK, so go to your languages:

/admin/languages.php?language=en&topic=&filter=lbl_gift_c ertificates

Change the content of the language entry.

You're done.

Yes, there is an easier way (with webmaster mode) but this long way around the block is how you are certain to edit the correct item, every time.

Well I changed the other places but the gift certificates link under the special menu is still lower case, how do i get to languages to change the script of the link?

There was nothing to change EXCEPT the language entry.

READ the docs:
http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Customizing_Text_Labels

Webmaster mode will help you find the variable.
