Question

I created a custom content type FaqEntry in OpenCMS (three fields - title, question, answer) and registered it. When I create a new file of that type and want to edit it, it shows the three fields there, but it doesn t show their label, i.e. "Title", "Question", "Answer". Do you have any idea as to why?

Answer 1

So, what does it show then if not the labels you set/expect?

There are three possible reasons why the labels are not showing correctly:

you re referencing the wrong properties file in your xsd
you haven t set the properties/labels correctly in your properties file
you haven t published and restarted the tomcat yet

The labels should be in the file workplace.properties under classes in the the folder structure of your module, i.e. /system/modules/com.mydomain.www/classes/com/mydomain/www/workplace.properties

In your faqentry.xsd the reference should then be like this:

<xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:appinfo>
        <resourcebundle name="com.mydomain.www.workplace"/>
         ...

In the properties file, the labels need to have the proper mapping:

label.FaqEntry.Title = Title Label The Way You Want It

Last, the Tomcat needs to be restarted for the properties to take effect.
