Hi,

I am trying to Change the word My Weblink on the right corner on the welcome page, but nothing happens. Doing an inspect element i can trace where it is originated, but it doesn't change. I also need the word My Weblink to change to Password Reset when i have clicked on it.

Gert,

If you are using version 8.x then you will need to physically change the wording in the MyWebLink.aspx file. Locate the following line in MyWebLink.aspx and change it to your desired wording:

<span class="LinkSpacer">|</span></span><a class="TopLink" id="PrefsLink" runat="server" rel="nofollow">My WebLink</a>

If you are using version 9.x then you will not need to add any code to MyWebLink.aspx since it no longer contains the "My WebLink" option.

I have updated the original post to reflect this.

Gert,

If you don't have the option to rebuild the WebLink project then an easier way would be to do the following:

Open the Welcome.aspx (version 8.x & 9.x) and MyWebLink.aspx (version 8.x only) file and at the bottom of each file paste the following code, save and refresh the page. No recompiling necessary!

<script language="vbscript" runat="server">

    Private Sub Page_PreRenderComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.PreRenderComplete, Me.PreRenderComplete
        PrefsLink.InnerText = "Password Reset"
    End Sub
    
</script>

Hi Wez,

i do get the following error when clicking on the Password Reset link on the welcome page.

This is the error i get. Do you perhaps know what could cause this?

Open the Welcome.aspx.vb file and around line 41, change

PrefsLink.InnerText = m_strings.GetString("STR_MY_WEBLINK")

PrefsLink.InnerText = "Password Reset"

Next, open the MyWebLink.aspx.vb file and around line 67, change

MyWebLinkLabel.InnerText = m_strings.GetString("STR_MY_WEBLINK")

MyWebLinkLabel.InnerText = "Password Reset"

Finally, rebuild the WebLink project (i.e. with Visual Studio 2012) and you should now see the string changes.
