Changing text on submit button on comment form

Peter Eichhorst asked on March 28, 2017 06:54

I am trying to figure out how to change the text on the submit button from "Add" to "Submit". I found the code in CMSModules\Blogs\Controls\BlogCommentEdit.ascx where the submit button is, but I do not know how to change this text.

Hello, You can achive this by changing the resource string key "general.add", because this button is using that key. Or you can do the custom in file "\CMS\CMSModules\Blogs\Controls\BlogCommentEdit.ascx.cs" and search for "btnOk.Text"

You can handle this in code behind file like below. Please comment GetString("general.add") statement and replace with your string i.e "Submit".

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        mOkButtonText = "Submit";//GetString("general.add");
        mCommentSavedText = GetString("Blog.CommentEdit.CommentSaved");

        // Basic control initialization
        lblName.Text = GetString("Blog.CommentEdit.lblName");
        lblUrl.Text = GetString("Blog.CommentEdit.lblUrl");
        lblComments.Text = GetString("Blog.CommentEdit.lblComments");
        btnOk.Text = mOkButtonText;
        }

alternatively you can hack it with jquery if you need a quick fix and cant access the files on the server.

$(".buttonclass").text("Submit")
