How do I...Customize text in the user interface?

Find the resource string 

1.  Navigate to the resources directory (Deki Wiki VM:  /var/www/deki-hayes/resources).  Open resources.txt and find the line containing the text you want to change.  For example, the following key (error-baduser) is associated with the error message for inputting a bad username. It is part of the sub-heading Admin.Bans.

[Admin.Bans]
	error-baduser=You input a non-existent username.

Save the resource string 

It is not recommend to make direct changes to resources.txt. When updating in the future, these changes can easily be lost, or cause your system to break (especially on a VM!). To safely override changes, you should instead edit resources.custom.txt (create it if it does not exist, in the same folder as resources.txt). 

Applying your change

Let's say you want to change two keys from the [Admin.Bans] group:

[Admin.Bans]
	error-baduser=You input a user which does not exist! Please check the username again
	tbl-expiry=Ban expiry

Be sure you include the group heading!
