Custom Manager Page problem

I’m having trouble with lexicon keys in a CMP.

I have cheatsheet_desc in the Description field of the Menu item.

I created a lexicon file:

and another at


With this content:


I know the namespace path is correct because the CMP executes fine, but the description shows as cheatsheet_desc in the menu.

Do I have to explicitly load the lexicon file somewhere or is there something else I’ve missed?

I created a lexicon file:

core/components/cheatsheet/lexicion/en/default.inc.php

and another at

assets/components/cheatsheet/lexicion/en/default.inc.php

You only need the core one. Note, however, it’s spelled ’lexicon’, not ’lexicion’.

With this content:

<?php
$_lang['cheatsheet_desc'] = 'MODx Cheat Sheet';

I know the namespace path is correct because the CMP executes fine, but the description shows as cheatsheet_desc in the menu.

Did you import into the DB? The files are only there for reference - you’ll need to actually import it into a Topic. And for top menus, you’ll need to make sure any Entries you reference in the Menu are in the ’default’ Topic for your Namespace. Once you’ve imported, clear the cache.

Doh!. I was misreading this from the docs: "MODx will automatically load your Namespace’s "default" Lexicon Topic, should it exist."

I’ll put a note in the docs for others.
