Can the title of the "Template Variables" tab be changed?

Hi, I realise this may be part of the core code and simply can't be changed but I thought I would ask as it's one of those things that consistently seems to confuse clients.

For the "Template Variables" tab on each page in the manager (see attached screenshot) - is it possible to change the name of this (without hacking core code)? If I could I'd change it to "Custom Fields" or something like that.

A big thank you in advance for any help you can give

Thanks
Harmony

I'd like to know about this one too... I tried editing the Lexicon Settings (under the System tab), and editing the entry for "Template Variables". Even after clearing the cache, nothing changed until I logged out and back in... and then something wonky happened: the "Template Variables" tab disappeared entirely, but the "folder" under the "Elements" tab did change its name....

Thanks! Interesting (troublingly?), changing the entry in the Lexicon caused the tab to disappear entirely, and changing the value back to "Template Variables" did not bring it back. Any ideas of how to restore functionality? Is this a bug?

Man, after looking through this, I really thing this ought to be available in the lexicon entries. I'm gonna make a feature request...

Did you change the value for template_variables on page eight of the core/resource topic? That should be the one for the Template Variables tab.

tmplvars is the key for the one in the tree. [ed. note: BobRay last edited this post 14 years, 9 months ago.]

Refactor request: http://bugs.modx.com/issues/6499

Form Customization seems the wrong place for this type of customization. This has everything to do with the LEXICON, not with permissions or security, so it makes sense to get these labels into the main Lexion.

It's definitely there in the core/resource topic. If changing it doesn't work, it's a bug.

Yeah, I changed all of the following Lexicon entries and cleared the cache (every other possible lable updated):

tmplvars
tmplvar
new_tv
add_to_category_tv
add_tv
caption_desc
duplicate_tv
edit_tv
new_tv
quick_create_tv
quick_update_tv
remove_tv
tv
tv_default_desc
tv_elements_desc
untitled_tv

The label for the tab when you update or create a resource, however, seems locked up in Form Customization.

I don't see this on your list:

template_variables

AFAIK, that's the label for the tab in the Create/Edit resource panel.

/**
 * Loads the Resource TV Panel
 * 
 * @class MODx.panel.ResourceTV
 * @extends MODx.Panel
 * @param {Object} config
 * @xtype panel-resource-tv
 */
MODx.panel.ResourceTV = function(config) {
    config = config || {};
    Ext.applyIf(config,{
        id: 'modx-panel-resource-tv'
        ,title: _('template_variables')
        ,class_key: ''
        ,resource: ''
        ,bodyStyle: 'padding: 15px; border: 0'
        ,autoHeight: true
        ,applyTo: 'modx-resource-tvs-div'
        ,header: false
        ,style: 'padding: 15px;'
        ,width: '97%'
        ,templateField: 'modx-resource-template'
    });
