Changing "Kudos" to "Votes" in Ideas Only

Hi

 

We'd like to change all references to "Kudos" to "Vote(s)" within our Ideas sections. Currently we are using javascript to do this replacement, this works but not an ideal solution as once a user votes "X Kudos" still appears.  

 

Is there any way to change the text key for Kudos without changing it across the entire system?

 

Cheers

Chris

    Hi Chris,

     

    One thing you could try is "scoping" your text keys. There are various "scopes" available that allow you to apply a certain text key one way in certain situations while applying it differently elsewhere. Here's more information about that from a post I made previously:

    In your particular case, I'd suggest using the "place" scope so that you can target text keys used within Ideas nodes. For example:

    @place:idea

    There are a lot of text keys associated with Kudos. I'd suggest using the text editor in Studio (as opposed to using Tool Belt) to ensure you're not missing any.
