Forum Problems Installing LAMS: Re: How do i change the flash icons/label in the LHS of the Authoring page.

The labels in LAMS are either in xml or properties files.

If the label is for something in Flash, then they are in the blah_dictionary.xml files in lams.ear/lams-central.war/flashxml when deployed on JBOSS. If you are doing your own builds, then the "originals" are kept in the lams_central/conf/flashxml.

If the labels are for a jsp page, or are specifically tool related then they are in a Java properties file in lams.ear/lams-dictionary.jar when deployed on JBOSS. The "originals" are kept in the conf/language directory of the appropriate project or in the librarypackages directory in lams_build.

In the case of the tool activity labels in authoring, you want the "activity.title" entry in the tool's language files.

There is a name column in the activity table, but that is only used if it can't get the label from the property file.

The real originals for all of these files is kept on the LAMS Community, so if you change the text in any of the existing tools then it will be overwritten in the next release.
