How can I change the wording in the "Recent activity" heading?

Hi David

You can use some jquery to change it on runtime. That said, please do look at documentation to see if there is a better method.

If you are interested in jquery method, please leave a comment and I would post some code snippet.

Thank you

Hi Diziana,  it would be great if you could post a code snippet, something I could just copy and paste in.

Thanks!

Hello Customer Support Theme,

I'm afraid the code you provided is not working for me. I placed it at the end of the code in the JS tab, as you suggested.

Also, I see that the screenshot doesn't contain all the code you provided in the post.

Hello David! Could you please provide us link to your Help Center or Screenshot of code that you've changed? 

This is from after I clicked "Preview"

Thanks for the screen. From this point the code looks fine. Please try with this code, paste it on the very bottom of your Home Page code editor (or footer).

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
 $('.recent-activity-header').text('Here is new title');
});
</script>

works great, thanks! and it's also a better solution for me because I have 2 languages, and this enables me to use Dynamic Content

Glad that it works, and even better for Dynamic content!

Feel free to ping us if there is any issue more.

Hello @David,

I am totally surprised.How it is possible because at my end its working fine.

Both code snippet is working proper on my side - 

$(document).ready(function() {
 $('.recent-activity-header').html('Your New Title');
});

$(document).ready(function() {
 $('.recent-activity-header').text('Your New Title');
});

You can also see the Live Demo.

Thanks

@Vladan,

Any idea why this isn't working for me? I have also tried @Customer Support Theme's code.

I'm racking my brains here so your advice would be great!

Thanks,

Jess

Hi Jess, just remove this my code from JS tab, and put it (copy/paste) on the very bottom of Home Page code. Please let me know if there is an issue after this change. 

Thanks!

Thank you Vladan that worked perfectly. 

This code works great to change "Recent activity" to "Recently viewed":

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.recent-activity-header').text('Recently viewed');
});
</script>

But I can't get the dynamic content function to work. I've defined the content on the Dynamic Content page:

What then is the syntax for using the placeholder in the script? I tried many different syntaxes, including these:

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.recent-activity-header').text({{dc 'recently_viewed'}});
});
</script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.recent-activity-header').text="{{dc 'recently_viewed'}}";
});
</script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.recent-activity-header').text={{dc 'recently_viewed'}};
});
</script>

But my home page still shows the default text "Recent activity". What am I missing?

Hi @Tami,

Try putting your code at the bottom of home_page.hbs template. 

<script>
 $(document).ready(function() {
   $('.recent-activity-header').text("{{dc 'recently_viewed'}}");
 });
</script>

Let me know if you face any issue.

Team Diziana

Hi Team Diziana,

The code is at the bottom of my home page:

It does work to change "Recent activity" to "Recently viewed", but I can't get it to work as Dynamic Content.

@Tami,

All you need to do is remove that '=' in your code at line no. 75 and you will be good to go.

Let me know if you face any issue.

Team Diziana

Ok, that one worked:

$('.recent-activity-header').text("{{dc 'recently_viewed'}}");

I thought I'd tried that syntax, but must not have --thanks much, Trapta!

Where can i find $('.recent-activity-header'). in the documentation.  I want to write other stuff but can't find the objects.

Here's the JavaScript solution for themes that don't use jQuery. Just change the "Recent Updates" text to what you want, place it in your theme's script.js file:

document.getElementsByClassName("recent-activity-header")[0].innerHTML="Recent Updates";

Thanks for sharing that, Brett!

Is there a way I can limit it to recently added articles? Please suggest.

Can't seem to get this down. Any suggestions?
