How do I differentiate a text string by category/board?

In our knowledgebase area, we would like the "New Message" button to display "New Article".  The text key for this is... menubar.button.new_message    However, when this is changed, it also affect...

    As Vishwajeet mentioned, the following does work...

     

     

    menubar.button.new_message  = New ${general.Message}

     

     

    However, if you do a search for the the text key general.Message, you'll see how the magic happens.  Using the @place extension you can specify strings based on location.

     

     

    menubar.button.new_message                        = New Post                         
menubar.button.new_message@place:tkb       = Create New Document

     

     

    Other location values include...

     

    @place:tkb     
@place:board
@place:blog   
@place:idea     
@place:qanda  //question
@place:support
@place:contest

     

    Note you can also use the @message extension for specific types of messages and string them with the @place extension

    Examples...

     

    general.Message@place:blog@message:root     = ${general.Message}
general.Message@place:blog@message:reply    = ${general.Comment}

Hi dustin,

 

As this is OOB components using same text-key. You can add a page specific script to change the title of the button as a work around.

      Besides the ones listed above, I know of the following (the above included for completeness):

      <string.key>@place:category
<string.key>@place:tkb     
<string.key>@place:board
<string.key>@place:blog   
<string.key>@place:idea     
<string.key>@place:qanda  //question
<string.key>@place:support
<string.key>@place:contest
<string.key>@place:review
<string.key>@place:group
<string.key>@place:media
<string.key>@place:blog@message:root
<string.key>@place:blog@message:reply
<string.key>@page:<quilt.name>@component:<component.id>
<string.key>@component:<component.id>
<string.key>@device:mobile

// and the ones I only hardly can make any sense of myself

<string.key>@message@frequent@me.title
<string.key>@message@frequent@scope@all_users@all_tags.title
<string.key>@message.description

      For documentation that is available see:

      - https://community.lithium.com/t5/FAQs-email-templates-and-text/About-text-keys/ta-p/109029

      - https://community.lithium.com/t5/FAQs-email-templates-and-text/Set-the-scope-of-a-text-key/ta-p/109017

       

      For sure there are many more and many of them need proper documentation, would this maybe something for JohnD or SuzieH ?

        Hi luk

         

        The ones listed below actually aren't part of the same scoping feature. They are used internally. (Very confusing, I know.). The rest of the ones listed though do need to be added to the doc.
