How do I modify default labels of the location module?

Question

How can I modify the field names of the location widget that I use to collect addresses and phone numbers. I am using Drupal 7 with the Location Module: https://drupal.org/project/location

Below a screenshot of the fields I would like to rename ('Street Location' to 'Address Line 1' as an example).

Thanks!

Answer 1

https://www.drupal.org/node/381458#comment-6699162 worked for me

/**
 * Implements hook_location_element_alter().
 */
function update_personal_info_location_element_alter(&$element) {
  $element['additional']['#title'] = "Address line 2";
}

Answer 2

The location is essentially a custom table location in the database with all those columns (ew). Having looked through the code they make Drupal form elements for each column in the table as needed.

I suggest hook_form_alter to simply change the title disabled where needed when displaying the location on page forms.

there are a zillion examples here on stackexchange of how to use hook_form_alter.

Answer 3

Here's the suggestion.

There are various options to do so.

1. Use "String Overrides" module

2. Make a module that implements hook_form_alter() to change the help text.

3. In location.module, change: '#title' => t('Street Location'), to '#title' => t('Address Line 1'),

Though 3rd one is not best practices since it makes updating the module harder.

Let me know if you face any query/concern regarding this.

Thanks!
