How do I change the name of a course menu item?

[cwindsor]

Hello,

I want try posting this request here because I never got an answer to it the last time I asked.

I would like to change the name of the menu item, e.g. from 'Modules' to 'Lesson Content'.

I do not want to create a redirect menu item.

I am an administrator on the account, this has been requested by the staff. I have all the permissions and authority to make the change.

I don't know what JavaScript or CSS I have to change in order to make the change.

Can anyone help me, please?

Try this in your custom JavaScript file:

$("#section-tabs .modules").text("Lesson Content");

themidiman, hello!

This tag ($("#section-tabs .modules").text("Lesson Content");) not work in the Canvas Student App. You know how change in the app?

Thankyou!

The customizations you can make in the mobile apps are extremely limited compared to what you can do in the browser.  Unfortunately, modifying the text for menus isn't a part of what can be customized with the theme mobile CSS/JS files.  Here is a quote from the documentation:

"Mobile CSS/JS files are only applied to user content displayed within the Canvas iOS or Android apps, as well as in third-party apps using the Canvas API"

How do I upload custom JavaScript and CSS files to an account?

Note that this solution would only rename it in the main course navigation as far as your theme reaches. If you need it everywhere else where Instructure has it in the course design interface that's a more hefty requirement.

Yes, it's just as far as the theme reaches.  Thank you so much!

I'll give it a whirl in the morning and see how it goes.

Thanks again.
