See attached pic. I would like to edit the link when someone clicks the 'Create an Account'. Where can I find the highlighted line so I can edit it? I can't seem to figure out what file it is kept in. Help is appreciated. Site is

- Turn off RokGZipper and it will be easier to see which file to edit.
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

I turned off RokGZipper, but I still can't find the file location. Which file is the HTML located for the above question? I need to edit this line:
<a href="/component/user/register">Create an account</a>

<?php echo JText::_('REGISTER'); ?></a>

Thanks, but where did you see this path on firebug? Can you provide a screen shot possibly?

- ... that path is created dynamically by the joomla framework. So ther is no chance to see that line in Firebug. But you could replace that with an absolute path if you want to ...

I just want to be able to find the right files to edit without having to ask every time that's all. I see the file locations to edit CSS using firebug, but the HTML doesn't seem to be as easy...for example, firebug shows something different compared to the code you showed me.
firebug shows this: <a href="/component/user/register">Create an account</a>
vs.
<li>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_user&view=register' ); ?>">
<?php echo JText::_('REGISTER'); ?></a>
</li>

You cant see the HTML before the browser has ran the html.
The HTML you want is server side and the HTML you see in firebug has already ran and is now client side.
Its like wanting to see PHP before its loaded without FTP or server access, it wont let you!
Most the files you will want to edit are in obvious locations (if your familiar with the layout of the files and folders) OR if you google it, its usually answered on the Joomla forums or on here.
Your not really supposed to hack core joomla files, but i know sometimes you have no choice, just remember to repeat these hacks when you upgrade Joomla, or they will be overwritten! - Kiss my RSS
