I have created new Yii2 basic project and want to dig in.
There is a Username field on login page:
I want to change label 'Username' to a custom one, e.g. 'My superb label'. I have read the manual: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-widgets-activefield.html
After investigating a little I've got the next result:
I have changed only template and it has changed the layout:
<?= $form->field($model, 'username', [
"template" => "<label> My superb label </label>\n{input}\n{hint}\n{error}"
])?>
How to change the text of the label in a correct way? What is best practice?
Okay, just override attributeLabels in LoginForm.php:
/**
* Returns the attribute labels.
*
* See Model class for more details
*
* @return array attribute labels (name => label).
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return [
'username' => 'Логин',
'password' => 'Пароль',
];
}
