Talk:Places to search for lang strings

From MoodleDocs

Not sure where to put this, but here goes. Often a Moodle user will like to adjust a particular sting the he sees when using Moodle. It is often a problem to find WHICH PHP file is the one that it is associated with. I think I have even tried doing a search in a local moodle install to try to find a string and I don't think that worked as well as I had hoped. The best thing would be a search option built into Moodle. Could a browser plugin like firebug or webdeveloper be of any assistance?

Also the link to phpdocs at the bottom of the page doesn't work Jeff Forssell 08:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

You might like MDL-19467 - implemented in HEAD.--Tim Hunt 13:58, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

That sounds good. But it is only for 2.0? Is there any sandbox to try it in? Or just by making a local 2.0 beta install? I have spent an hour now trying to find what HEAD really means. I have a vagues contextual feeling from many Usin Moodle posts, but i would like to understand it. Could you puit in something here: https://docs.moodle.org/en/index.php?title=HEAD&action=edit&redlink=1 Jeff Forssell 09:31, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
