Thanks

Thanks Jason but I don't think I explained what I needed. On the actual form the header above the available categories is the title "Category" and I need to change that to something else. Do you know where I would find that?
Thanks

Nevermind I was able to find it in the contact module code.

Hacking core code is a one way path to much pain, as all your modifications will either prevent an upgrade (if you want to keep your changes in place) or will get wiped out during an upgrade (as your old codebase will be overwritten with the new codebase).
Use the locale module -- this allows you to translate/edit strings to change this type of value. The handbooks have pretty good documentation on this.
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Bill thanks for the tip, is this a best practice for the type of thing I'm trying to do or would there still be a better way to do it?

Hello, Chris,
I would classify using the core locale module as a best practice for changing the wording of text within the application -- I don't know of another way of doing this that allows you to make the changes without writing new code, and that will be supported via upgrade.php
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks Bill I tried the Local module but I couldn't find the text I wanted to change in the contact form it wasn't found, any suggestions?

Nevermind figured it out, problem in my database and it's collation needed to change it to utf8_general_ci. All set now.
On another note you wouldn't know how to create a field that sums up other fields?
Thanks again.

Hello, Chris,
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "sums up other fields" but you might want to look at the computed field module -- if you want to bring a few fields together into one field, you can write a snippet that will grab these values into the computed field.
Cheers,
Bill

Thanks bill what I'm trying to do is build a small time tracking site. So users enter in their hours and then I want to build a view(report) that totals the time for each taxonomy item. So would that work for the views to use that module?

I can tell you I've built an invoicing system in java which isn't far off from a time tracking system. I can also tell you it's not as simple as it seems. You're going to have to add time, which is more complicated than adding normal numbers since it's base 60 rather than base 10 (except when you're dealing with days which roll over at 24). Things get a bit simpler when dealing with timestamps but you still have to convert everything back and forth between human and system readable formats - in both directions. Then if you want to calculate it by, say, an hourly rate you're going to have to convert 6:40 into 6.666666 etc and multiply that by the rate - watch out for floating point exceptions (wait - how does php handle stuff like that again?)! oh, the fun begins. It took me a long time to end up with a fairly bug free system... just to give you an idea. good luck .sander

If you know basic Drupal coding, I generally recommend renaming form labels using form_alter. It's much less overhead or performance hit than using locale for just one string.
