Special Script for Renaming Application Buttons (ZPSQL)

You can add a special script file to your installation folder that allows you to rename the Application Buttons that appear at the bottom of the Property Screen. This feature has existed for a while but I have changed the naming scheme of the files so that now the text can be easily edited in the User Defined Script Screen. By default there are four Application Button categories that each have five pre-defined  buttons. The four groups are Zoning, Building, Housing and General. When the screen switches categories it looks to see if a script file exists for that category and uses the new button names if it is found. Each category has it's own script files. The file names are script_property_btnzoning.txt, script_property_btnbuilding.txt, script_property_btnhousing.txt or script_property_btngeneral.txt. A look at the Zoning button script shows what the text would look like:

%Zoning%Violations%Amend%Non-Conform%Appeals%

You can simply edit the names in between the percentage signs to change the name as it appears on the screen. The format is simple enough that you could create the text file yourself or you can download the set from our website at App Button Scripts. This file contains several files but you only need to copy the one you want to change into your main installation folder. It will then appear as choice in the User Defined Scripts Screen where you can edit it.
