If you're using WordPress, you can write a quick plugin to do this. The following code amends the submit button's text value on the Registration Confirmation form:
add_action( 'civicrm_buildForm', 'my_prefix_alter_form_button', 10, 2 );
/**
* Amend the Registration Confirmation form submit button value.
*
* @param string $formName The name of the form.
* @param CRM_Core_Form $form The form object.
*/
function my_prefix_alter_form_button( $formName, &$form ) {
// bail if not the form we want
if ( $formName != 'CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Confirm' ) return;
// drill down until we find the submit element and change its value
foreach( $form->_elements as $element ) {
if ( isset( $element->_name ) && $element->_name == 'buttons' ) {
foreach( $element->_elements as $item ) {
if ( isset( $item->_type ) && $item->_type == 'submit' ) {
if ( isset( $item->_attributes ) && $item->_attributes['name'] == '_qf_Confirm_next' ) {
$item->_attributes['value'] = __( 'Continue to pay via Paypal', 'my-plugin-slug' );
}
}
}
}
}
}
You can adapt this methodology to work with Drupal too. You'd have to create a module with an appropriately-named function, but the code inside the function should be identical. Here's the code to add to a Drupal module:
/**
* Amend the button value.
*
* @param string $formName The name of the form.
* @param CRM_Core_Form $form The form object.
*/
function my_module_prefix_civicrm_buildForm( $formName, &$form ) {
// bail if not the form we want
if ( $formName != 'CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Confirm' ) return;
// drill down until we find the submit element and change its value
foreach( $form->_elements as $element ) {
if ( isset( $element->_name ) && $element->_name == 'buttons' ) {
foreach( $element->_elements as $item ) {
if ( isset( $item->_type ) && $item->_type == 'submit' ) {
if ( isset( $item->_attributes ) && $item->_attributes['name'] == '_qf_Confirm_next' ) {
$item->_attributes['value'] = t( 'Continue to pay via Paypal' );
}
}
}
}
}
}
You need to substitute my_module_prefix
with the actual prefix of your module so that the function receives callbacks from the hook.
