from wagtail.core.models import Page | |
class YourPage(Page): | |
"""Your Wagtail Page Type.""" | |
template = "templates/your_page.html" | |
# Other Page fields | |
YourPage._meta.get_field('title').verbose_name = 'New Default Title' | |
YourPage._meta.get_field('title').help_text = 'New Help Text For Default Title' |
Setting up a custom form class as per https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/advanced_topics/customisation/page_editing_interface.html#customising-generated-forms and overriding the help_text / label on the form field there (rather than the model field) is probably the way to go.
@gasman many thanks for your quick reply!
Thanks @gasman for your input. Here is my solution to override default title information (maybe it will help others). No more issues when migrating in production 👍
class CoursePageForm(WagtailAdminPageForm):
title = forms.CharField(max_length='255',
label="Custom label",
help_text="Custom help text",
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': "Custom placeholder"})
)
class CoursePage(Page):
image = models.ForeignKey(
'wagtailimages.Image',
blank=True,
null=True,
on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
related_name="+",
verbose_name="bla bla"
)
description = models.TextField(blank=True, verbose_name="Bla bla bla")
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
MultiFieldPanel(
[
FieldPanel('image'),
FieldPanel('description'),
], heading="Cours"
),
]
base_form_class = CoursePageForm

@gasman I struggle to find an alternative to the solution proposed by Kalob. Any hint to do it another way? Thanks in advance
