Nevermind figured it out, problem in my database and it&#39;s collation needed to change it to utf8_general_ci. All set now.<br><br>On another note you wouldn&#39;t know how to create a field that sums up other fields?<br>
<br>Thanks again.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Bill Fitzgerald</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:bill@funnymonkey.com">bill@funnymonkey.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hello, Chris,<br><br>I would classify using the core locale module as a best practice for<br>changing the wording of text within the application -- I don&#39;t know of<br>another way of doing this that allows you to make the changes without
<br>writing new code, and that will be supported via upgrade.php<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Bill<br><br>Chris McCreery wrote:<br>&gt; Hi Bill thanks for the tip, is this a best practice for the type of<br>&gt; thing I&#39;m trying to do or would there still be a better way to do it?

<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hacking core code is a one way path to much pain, as all your<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; modifications will either prevent an upgrade (if you want to keep your<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; changes in place) or will get wiped out during an upgrade (as your old
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; codebase will be overwritten with the new codebase).<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Use the locale module -- this allows you to translate/edit strings to<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; change this type of value. The handbooks have pretty good
<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; documentation<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; on this.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cheers,<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bill<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chris McCreery wrote:<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; Nevermind I was able to find it in the contact module code.<br>
