How to change “apply” button text in Drupal Views exposed filters
5 Jul
1) Open your current themes template.php file
2) append following function in it.
3)
function YOUR_THEME_NAME_preprocess_views_exposed_form(&$vars, $hook)
{
// only alter the required form based on id
if ($vars['form']['#id'] == 'views-exposed-form-user-search-page-2') {
// Change the text on the submit button
$vars['form']['submit']['#value'] = t('Search');
// Rebuild the rendered version (submit button, rest remains unchanged)
unset($vars['form']['submit']['#printed']);
$vars['button'] = drupal_render($vars['form']['submit']);
}
}
4) Now clear your cache and its done
You can clear cache at following location
/admin/settings/performance
scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “clear cached data” button.
IMPORTANT : Replace text “YOUR_THEME_NAME” in above function name with your current theme name like if you are using theme garland. function name will be garland_preprocess_views_exposed_form. Use firebug or view source and write your views form id in form id in ‘views-exposed-form-user-search-page-2′)
and t(‘Search’) inside this write the text which you want to appear on button instead of ‘Apply’.
Is it possible to add more than one form such as views-exposed-form-user-search-page-2 and views-exposed-form-user-search-block-1 and views-exposed-form-user-search-page-3?
Yes,
add or (||) conditions in if() as follows if you want to apply this code for multiple apply buttons on different forms
if ($vars['form']['#id'] == ‘views-exposed-form-user-search-page-2′ || $vars['form']['#id'] == ‘views-exposed-form-user-search-block-1′ || $vars['form']['#id'] ==views-exposed-form-user-search-block-3)
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Brilliant! Many thanks for the solution. Works perfectly with my D7 site.
