Following up on [this feature request](https://community.ethosce.com/t/enhancement-request-modify-register-and-register-take-course-to-continue-access-for-enrolled-learners/1870).

It would be great to be able to change the “Register” button and tab text depending on the user’s enrollment status. I know that we can (sort of) tweak the behavior of the “Register” button with string overrides, but if I am not mistaken, we still can’t change the button/tab text to something like “Access Course” when the user returns to a course they are already enrolled in. Has anyone found a creative way to tackle this? And does EthosCE plan to address this in a future update?

Yes, this would be woderful to add as part of the course/activity settings. We wouldn’t want to override all this setting for all activities so an option to modify this by activity would be great.

My go-to has been to use CSS to hide the take-course button, and use html/css to add a button for users before and after they’re registered. Ethos adds the following classes that I use to show/hide these buttons, or notices for learners

```auto
.not-logged-in
.logged-in
.enrolled

```

I wish there were classes for when an activity is open/closed for enrollment or when it has expired to be able to customize it even more.

This is the same CSS trick that we’re using right now. I agree. For us, it would be nice to be able to set the button text at the global level, with an option for a course-level setting that does not inherit the global setting.
