TOPIC: How can I modify back end code

Hi,

I have basic joomla experience and don\'t know coding so this may be more obvious than I think!

I am wanting to use DT Register for registration for a children\'s camp and would like the registration options at the front end to read \"I am registering one child\" and \"I am registering more than one child\" rather than \"I am registering as an individual\" and \"I am registering as a group\".

I have tried to modify this in the following file /components/com_dtregister/languages/english.dtregister.php but the changes will not save as I think the file is protected. I have also tried saving changes on my computer and then uploading but it wont overwrite the file.

Can I do this and how?

Hello. You are in the right place to make these changes! Sounds like a file ownership issue. Sometimes (due to your PHP configuration on your server) installing a joomla component will create the directory and files as owned by \"nobody\" or something similar, which then does not allow you to make changes via FTP. You either need to change the file ownership (via shell access or whatever your host provides) or install a component like eXtplorer or JoomlaXplorer which should allow you to still upload the file over top of the original despite the ownership issue.
