I didn’t think it was fitting to call it a “wishlist” on CeliacClub.com. Frankly, if I went to any website with a wishlist, I’m not really sure what it does. I think calling it a “watchlist” is much more applicable. This article shows how to change it on your Magento site. This process could probably be adjusted to modify the other named aspects of Magento also.
1. We don’t want to mess with core Magento files so it’s best to modify the string translations. Edit the following CSV files (I like to edit them with a plaintext editor like Notepad++ but you could use Excel to do it):
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Wishlist.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Adminhtml.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Catalog.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Checkout.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Customer.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Reports.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Rss.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_Sales.csv
- /app/locale/en_US/Mage_tag.csv
With these csv translations, the original string is the first value on the line, indicated by quotation marks (or on the left side, if you’re using Excel). The replacement string is the value following it, separated by a comma (or on the right side, if you’re using Excel). You’ll need to use the “replace” function, but we need to be careful not to change any of the original string values–we only want to change the translation values. We also need to be careful to preserve the case of the strings–that’s why I use Notepad++ where I can match the case. Do a Replace search for “wishlist” and check the box for “match case”, replacing with “watchlist”. Don’t do a “Replace All”. You’ll need to individually replace each string, making sure to only change the second value on each line. After you’re done doing that, do it again, but for “Wishlist”.
2. We need to change the rewrite configuration of the URL so that requests for http://website.com/watchlist/ get referenced to http://website.com/wishlist/ . Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for this yet. I spent 4+ hours on this but run into 404 errors that I think are caused by Magento. I’ll update this blog when I find a solution.
I wanted to set up my Verizon Westell modem so that my router has the IP address and does all the networking functionality. This makes administering my network easier. After searching the internet, I found that lots of people had this problem but there didn’t seem to be any clear answers. After spending a couple hours on the phone with tech support, I finally got it working. Here’s my setup:
phone line–>modem–>router–>wifi/ethernet
modem: Verizon DSL Westell 6100F (but any modem with the Verizon firmware should work)
router: Asus WL-520gu with DD-WRT firmware (but any router should work)
Here’s how I did it:
1. Use a pencil or other pointy object to hold the reset button on the modem for 30 seconds. This will restore the factory configuration so we can start fresh.
2. Connect the ethernet port of the modem directly to your computer. Make sure your computer is set up to acquire an IP address through DHCP.
3. In an internet browser, open 192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect.htm . This will bring you to a page that allows you to disable redirection. Click the “disable” button.
4. Browse to 192.168.1.1 . Now we need to set up the modem for bridge mode. Click “My Network” at the top, then “Network Connections” on the side. Click the “edit” icon for “Broadband DSL”. and then click the “edit” icon for “VCs”. This will bring you to a page that allows you to configure the bridging. Make sure that “Protocol” is set to “Bridge” and “Bridge mode” is set to “Bridge”. Make sure it’s not set to “Routed bridge”. That’s not what we want. Then click to apply changes, but don’t let the modem restart yet. We still have to change one more thing.
5. Click the “advanced” button at the top of the webpage. Then click the “Private LAN” link. The first checkbox should say something like “Enable DHCP server”. Uncheck that. We don’t want the modem dishing out IP addresses. Then click “apply” to save.
6. We’ll need to turn off the modem now. Turn it off. Turn of your router too. When we turn the modem back on, we won’t be able to connect to it any more to configure it. Unplug the cable connecting your modem to your computer and plug it into your router’s WAN port. At this point, I needed to call Verizon support to tell them to release my IP address. If you don’t do this, your modem will still try to take the IP address. I think you could get by without calling support by waiting a few days, but most likely you want internet now. =) After tech support is sure that the IP is released, power on your modem. Wait for the modem’s “DSL” light to turn solid green. Then turn on your router. If all went well, your router should now have an IP address given from Verizon. If not, read step 7.
7. (optional) If your router didn’t automatically get the new IP address, there’s a chance that it wasn’t configured the way we need it. I have my router configured to get the WAN through “Automatic Configuration – DHCP”. Yours might be different, depending on your router type. Then, you’ll likely want your router to be a DHCP server for your LAN–by doing this, any computer that connects to your network will be able to get an IP address and get on the internet right away.
