Introduction

The Links plugin has been created by the folks at Geeklog. This plugin allows you to administer a directory of links for your website. The links plugin is installed by default, and can either be disabled or uninstalled if you do not plan to use it.

Renaming The Web Resources Link To Links

The Links plugin adds a Web Resources link to your menubar. To rename the link:

1. Open plugins/links/language/english.php in a plain-text editor.
2. Find 114 => 'Web Resources' and replace Web Resources with the text you want (e.g. Links). Ensure that you keep the quotes and all other characters intact.
3. Save your changes.
4. Upload the file onto your webserver, overwritting the existing file.

Note: As of Geeklog 1.4.1, the link is labelled "Links" and the above change is no longer necessary.
