Hi,

I have a cloned page on my site where that I use to manage details about clients.

Is it possible to rename the 'Title' field that appears when creating/editing a cloned page? For example I want to rename this to 'Client Name'

Is it also possible to hide the 'Name' field so the system will always generate the name from the Title/Client Name field?


Thanks

Hello, Mr. Hilton and welcome

You can change titles/names any time. Titles are safe, as are generally not used anywhere (beware to code specific page titles in scripts).

It is possible to hide the name, but it will be a cosmetic hide with css like here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10005&p=23357

Usually it is fine, but later when site is ready, people like to turn on Pretty-Urls. With PUs, page urls are taken from page names and to customize them (for seo or visual beauty) requires seeing names of cloned pages.

Thanks trendoman

What I was meaning about the 'title' was changing the label not the field contents. Figured this out today, don't know how I forgot to look in the language file!

I'll try hiding the name field with css and see how I get on. Pretty URLs won't be used on this site

I agree with @trendoman about the potential problems with hiding the 'name' field.

That said, following post describes how to both hide the 'name' field and rename the 'title' field -
viewtopic.php?p=14563#p14563

Hope it helps

Great!
So you meant 'title'-'labels' for editables? That's easy - just introduce in your editables:

<cms:editable label='My Label' desc='this is a description' ... />

To rename system labels, such as 'folder' => 'album' or any other thing, editing or creating your own language file is a way to go

@trendoman, I think @joshuahilton meant the label of specifically the 'Title' field.
It is (like the 'Name' field) a system field and so we'll have to use the message hack to change it on per template basis.

I've already pointed out the post that describes the method - viewtopic.php?p=14563#p14563

Ohh, that was a tricky Change label of title Thank you!

@KK is correct, I was trying to edit the label for the system 'Title' field. I edited a language file so this should work for now
