I know this has been asked a few times before, but it seems that thelinks to answer this question are not all working. I need to change the Global Search text from "Search..." to something else adn I only need to do this for ONE of my many sites.

 

Can anyone help me out with this? I know I have to alter the config file...but which one and how? I am still kind of green at at this.

 

Thanks

  Hi Larisa,

   

  It's not that easy I am afraid.  The text comes from :

   

  C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Html5Viewer\Resources\Locales\Mapping.en-US.json.js

   

  and the key in this file is called - language-search-placeholder

   

  but changing this will affect all viewers and sites.  If you want it to affect only one site, you will need to edit the Desktop.json.js file for the one site and point it to a unique copy of Mapping.en-US.json.js

   

  There is an improvement request to make this easier, but unfortunately it is not implemented yet.

  We do what Wayne has suggested as part of our standard workflow for creating new sites because it's the only way to (among other things) set a unique title ("language-banner-title") and subtitle ("language-banner-subtitle") for each site.

   

  All you need to do is:

   

  a) copy the default language files (see path in Wayne's post) to [your_viewer_folder]/VirtualDirectory/Resources/Locales

   

  b) update the desired text strings (most common strings are in Mapping.en-US.json.js)

   

  c) Edit the json.js file(s) and update the locale path so it points to your new locale file.  Use the replacement variable "{ViewerConfigUri}" in the library section of your json.js file.  Here's an example: { "id": "Mapping", "uri": "Resources/Compiled/Mapping.js", "locales": [ { "locale": "en-US", "uri": "{ViewerConfigUri}../../../Resources/Locales/Mapping.en-US.json.js" }, { "locale": "fr-CA", "uri": "{ViewerConfigUri}../../../Resources/Locales/Mapping.fr-CA.json.js" } ] }
