Hi, Scott.

Thank you for contacting us.
Nearly any text in Joomla! can be changed using Joomla! language override feature.
Please, read this documentation to find how to do that: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Changin...gle_Sentence_or_Word

Great thank you...

One other question, is it possible for me to add a line of text above or below the login, please see attached

Hi, Scott.

Yes, you may do that by customizing this layout:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/frontpage/guest.php

Copy that file to:

ROOT/templates/your-template/html/com_community/layouts/frontpage (if you don't have those folders - feel free to create them)

Then add your text above line 39 and below 105

Ok great thank you....I was trying to add just a simple label to the login box...i acutally entered my text on line 46
I was able to achieve what i was after...not sure if completely correct for html markup

Im just curious, since im new to Joomla...how do i find out what page i need to edit...like this guest.php...How could i found out that i needed to edit guest.php to add a label to login box?

Im always unsure if its a joomla or jomsocial or template edit

Best

HI, Scott.

Your html markup is correct ;)

There is only one way to know which file need to edit... Firebug a FireFix plugin. You check certain html element and look for som characteristic parts e.g class name. Then use text search that could search INSIDE of files for certain expression. You scan whole folder of JomSocial (on your local computer) and that's all ;) If you're on component page then you have 95% chance that you should look for certain code in that component package. Other chances are modules and Joomla! itself (or rather Joomla! template).

Some practice and you'll be master in searching necessary files ;)
