Customizing Language Strings in the MODX Manager

Last Updated on Friday, 31 May 2013 09:58 Written by Bob Ray Sunday, 2 June 2013 12:00

There may be words or phrases shown in MODX prompts, tab labels, menu items, or error messages that you or your client don’t like. Changing them is dead easy. Finding them, not so much.

Users sometimes spend hours looking for lexicon strings that are displayed in MODX. They are in some lexicon file, but there are zillions of lexicon files and they are not all in the same location. The fact is, that’s not where you should be looking. Even if you find the right file, changes you make there will be overwritten when you upgrade MODX or the Extra that’s producing the string.

Suppose you have some files on your MODX site that you edit often. I’m always hacking away at the main .CSS file, .htaccess, and sometimes a few JavaScript files. It’s a pain to keep going to the Files tab, waiting for the File tree to render, finding your file, and clicking on it. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to get there directly from the Manager’s Top Menu? It’s actually very easy to set this up, and you don’t have to write any code.
