    I’ve tried to use lexicon for change:

    name-> title to value -> XXX

    but in manager area, when I try to modify a documento I still show "title" near title field and not "XXX"

    Why this?

    Thanks

      If it isn’t possible using lexicon how can I change the label that I show in form that I use for create/modify documents?

      Thanks

        You can change everything in the Manager with the Lexicon, but you have to find the right part of the Lexicon.

        Notice the "Topic" drop-down in the Lexicon Management grid. You need to set the part of the Manager you want to change there before looking for "Title."

        You can also do it with Form Customization (on the Security menu): http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Form+Customization.

        Form Customization is a little harder to set up, but it’s a better approach because it won’t be overwritten when you update MODx or reload the Lexicon entries.

          but there isn’t a solution for search a word (for example "title") and find all "topics" with this word?


          Thanks

            AFAIK, the search only looks in the current topic, so Form Customization is a better way to go all around. It’s very quick and easy once you get the hang of it.

              I know I'm digging up an old post, but this is relevant.

              I've changed the name of a field label using Form Customisation. That works, all good.

              Except that I have users who view the manager in other languages than English, and they just see the new field label in English. I've tried using a default lexicon (say, typing 'introtext' into the custom lable for Pagetitle) and it just shows the lexicon key instead of the translation.

              Anyone know how to translate these, if possible?
