How to change node save button text?

Question

I found a discussion with some methods for d6 here http://drupal.org/node/344802 on how to change the node "Save" button text to sg else.

Any tips for d7? I would prefer to use form api.

Answer 1

you could use string overrides module or use hook:

function yourmodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'name_of_form') {
    $form['actions']['submit']['#value'] = 'Your button text';
  }
}

Answer 2

Here is an example: I have created a module called change_form_values and the form ID of my content type is content_type_test_node_form:

this work for me in Drupal 7:

function change_form_values_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    //dsm($form_id); // to see form ID
    if ($form_id == "content_type_test_node_form") {
    $form['actions']['submit']['#value'] = 'New button text';
    }
}

this work for me in Drupal 6:

function change_form_values_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    //dsm($form['form_id']['#id']);
    if ($form_id == "content_type_test_node_form") {
    $form['buttons']['submit']['#value'] = 'New button text';
    }
}

I hope information be useful.

I found the excellent Node buttons edit module for this and it works really our of the box using admin. Here is an excerpt about it from the module's project page:

This is a simple little module that allows one to change the text on the 'Save', 'Preview' and 'Delete' buttons on a node form.

For Drupal7 it's simple just:

$form['buttons'] = array(
    '#type' => 'submit',
    '#value' => t('Your desire text here'),
    );
