Change cart to basket

Hi Jules,

Have you try doing a text search and replace the word ‘Cart’ to ‘Basket’?

Thank you,
Ray

Hi Ray,

would I have to do the replace in the language file, the php files or both?

I updated wp-e-commerce/wpsc-languages/EN_en.php but didn’t see any change on the front end.

Kind regards,
Jules

Ray & Jules,

You could do this pretty easily by creating a little function that lives in the theme functions.php, or a php file in mu-plugins, that uses the filter that feeds the text translation functions.

This is the WordPress documentation for how to get it done, including examples.

…and yes, another option is to create a new translation file with the word basket instead of cart, but that seems like a little more work than we would want to do for a single word.

Jeff,

that looks interesting. I will see if I can figure that out and give it a go.

Thanks,
Jules

Were you able to write a successful function for WP E-commerce to change the text site wide? Would you be willing to post here? Thank you

likemindsdesigns…sorry, it’s on my list of things to do, just haven’t got there yet ??

I added this to my functions.php file and it seems to be working:

//Function to change Cart to Basket
add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text');
    add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text');

    function translate_text($translated) {
    $translated = str_ireplace('Cart', 'Basket', $translated);
    return $translated;
    }

Well that was very easy, it appears to be working!

Thank you likemindsdesigns for your solution. I appreciate you replying with your update.

Thanks
Jules

I have just set up a WordPress account to leave this message – hands down the best bit of advice regarding this issue. As a UK retailer this has been causing me some stress, I have looked across numerous forums and this is the most quick, easiest and 100% effective way to change the Americanised ‘cart’ to ‘basket’. No Loco plugin needed or anything!

Cheers for this likemindsdesigns it is seriously greatly appreciated mate!
