Square meters instead of square feet

Hello, in my country we only use square meters and not square feet. Is there a way to change this to reflect the correct measurement? Thank you in advance for your kind and prompt response.

Hi Heidy,
You can use feature "Translator labels" at the backend to translate "Square feet" to "Square meter"
There are one place that you need to make the modification to change "sqft" to "sqmt" is in
components > com_osproperty > templates > your_current_template > details.html.php
find
Jtext::_('sqft');
and change it to
Jtext::_('sqmt');

Good luck and Happy holiday

It will be almost necessary in the next release of OS property to have the option to switch between the US and metric system under the config settings.

Ok, i will note your suggestion for future development
Thanks

Thank you for this implementation. It will be user friendly for us that we are using the metric system. Currently I'm testing now the OS property and it's a great component. Congratulations

Hello again, I was able to make the changes as you indicated in components > com_osproperty > templates > your_current_template > details.html.php

However, I am now trying to have the words translated correctly to the Spanish language but with no success. Could you please indicate also how I can do this? I had already made the translation in Control Panel > Other > Translation, but that is not working since in the Frontend I have Square meters in the Spanish version of the site instead of Metros Cuadrados.

Thanks again for all your support.

Hi Heidy,
Can you please attach the screenshot so i can suggest the solution for you
Thanks

Hi Dam,

Ive changed the 'sqft' setting to 'sqmt' in components > com_osproperty > templates > your_current_template > details.html.tpl.php. Im still showing 'sqft' in the property details view - see attached screenshot.

How can i change this?

Thanks
