Language & Templates

ALL files related to the default language are found in the following directory:

content/language/*

Character encoding preferences are found in the following file:

content/language/global.php

ALL general language is found in the PHP files in the above folder:

content/language/admin.php (Admin)
content/language/global.php (Global)
content/language/js.php (Javascript)
content/language/v*.php (New Versions etc)
content/language/messages.php (Follow up messages / broadcast messages / log files / bounce handler)
content/language/subscribe.php (Subscribe / Unsubscribe)

Use a good text editor to edit, such as CudaText. DO NOT edit in a word processor.

All apostrophes MUST be escaped. Example:

'it\'s christmas time',

Timezone text is editable in the following file:

control/timezones.php

DO NOT remove the array keys. Example: Europe/London. If you remove these, the system will fail.

All the language in the e-mails is in the e-mail template txt files (accept messages, which are set via admin):

content/language/email-templates/*.txt

Again, use a good text editor to edit. All emails are automatically sent as plain and html unless html emails are disabled in the settings.

The main html wrapper for all emails is located at:

content/language/email-templates/html-wrapper.html

If you enable the wysiwyg editor, code in the wrapper should not be duplicated!

Available language packs can be found on the Maian Responder website.

If you would like to submit a new language pack, please email it to us here.

Maian Responder uses the Twitter Boostrap 3 Web Framework and Font Awesome. You can find more information and tutorials on the relevant website. Maian Responder does not use any template engines as they are not required. You'll need a working knowledge of Twitter Bootstrap if you want to make extensive template changes. Note that Twitter Bootstrap has responsive capabilities for phones and tablets.

If you are changing the signup form, please see the notes here.

For many people, changing the colours and a few default images is good enough. Maian Responder utilises Cascading Stylesheets for colour display. ALL of the colours you see for the default design are in the stylesheets. Maian Responder has a number of stylesheets, all of which can be edited in a good text editor. Locations as follows:

content/css/* (Frontend CSS Files)
admin/content/css/* (Admin CSS Files)

Edit these and choose whichever colours you want.

Images are located in the following folders:

content/images/ (Frontend)
admin/content/images/ (Admin)

Note that most images are rendered via the Font Awesome class.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
CSS (Cascading Stylesheets)
Free Text Editors
