How would I go about changing the "title" of a CCK form from "Create [Content Type Here]" to "Add a bar" (where Foo is the content type) - I've seen advice to use string-override, but as of yet, I've not been able to figure out what to replace. -- cgp
I don't think the String Override<http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides>module will alter those titles. Maybe I've just not figured out how to make it do so. There are at least two ways to deal with this, I think. Create a module to which uses hook_form_alter to change/remove the offending title. This is how I've done it, before. ( http://www.lullabot.com/articles/modifying-forms-5-and-6 for ideas how to go about this) Alternatively, you could modify the variable at the theme level via a preprocess function or via template files.

the string you are trying to change is probably something like "Create @content" so perhaps use the Locale core module to find it first, then see if String Overrides is capable of changing it or not.

FYI. I'd be interested in the code for this. I have a bug in the form defaults module that I need to correct a bug on and it might be able to be used for such things.
