Hello,

I ran across Prosepoint and I find that it is one of the best drupal based projects online, you did a great job.

My wish is to rename what you have called Story to whatever I want, let's say Article.  I tried to rename the menu but this fails since the title Story sticks permenantly with the Story Manager vs Article Manager.

Joe

Story Manager is hardcoded in the code

Hi,

Sorry, but currently the string 'Story Manager' is hardcoded in the code. It will need to be changed there.

flexible content could open up prospoint

Should I be able to use any content type under your current design then it would open up Prospoint to a whole new level.  Thoughts?

Joe.

Yes, but it'd be a fair amount of work.

Yes, it would open up possibilities, but I'm not yet convinced about it. So you'll have to persuade me with more reasoning.

As I see it, changing ProsePoint to give 'story-like' behaviour to any arbitrary content type provides some uncertain benefits, but incurs certain costs. I say certain costs because it won't be simple to do this - I'd have to go through the code and significantly rewrite some portions of it. This is something I'd rather not do unless there are some clear and justifiable benefits.
