Change Role Titles?

I would like to change just the title of the default roles Manager, Collaborator, Contributor, and Consumer to titles that are more exact to our use. Is it possible to change the names but leave the permissions, etc entirely alone?

Thanks

Have a look towards the bottom of the slingshot.properties i18n message file.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the file, but it does not contain the names four standard roles, Manager, Collaborator, Contributor, and Consumer. Do I add the new roles titles there? If so, what format?

Thanks!

Ah, sorry - I guess they were added there a couple of months ago, so may not be in your build. I've also noticed a couple of places where they've not passed through the i18n message system, so you might be out of luck until v3.2.

Is there anywhere specifically you're seeing these? It'll help me track them down before 3.2 is released in a couple of weeks.

Thanks,
Mike

I'd like to have different role titles available when inviting users to join a site in Share: ie. http://localhost:8080/share/page/site/testsite/invite.

Right now the role titles are listed in a drop down menu. I would just like to change the titles available in that menu.Then I would like that title set as siteRole (I think), so that the invite email and any other message/program that uses that variable would use the new titles.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks!
