I created a dashboard mod. In the extensions section I don't see a title for the mod. All I see is "heading_title" for the mod where the title should be. How do I make a title appear for the mod? My actual twig form and page have their title, and I don't see how to set it in the controller.

I'm here for a reason, if your response is contact a/the developer, just don't reply.
As ADD Creative already mentioned: do you have a language file admin/language/en-gb/extension/dashboard/YOUR_EXTENSION_NAME.php ?Joe1234 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2024 3:00 amI created a dashboard mod.

If not, create one and add the variable heading_title (must be that name) with a value to it.
But that is the normal process.
Every extension which is listed under extensions, must have at least one (1) language file and one (1) controller.
p.s.: what I do not understand, you said you have "developed" an extension, why not check how others do that?

I did have a language file that the controller was pointing to. The problem was I didn't change the file name itself to the name of my mod because I cannibalized an existing module to make this to figure out how things go. What's weird to me is, every other entry in the language file was picked up except for the heading entry. I now created the language file of the same name of my mod....and DID NOT point the controller to this new language file...and my mod picked up the heading of that language file. That is very odd behavior to me. Either way, I see how that oddness works now. Thanks.

It was probably the way the extension list works. It searches for controller files and then loads language files of the same name.

Reason could be, that "your" new extension is using the same variables as the others.
Only the heading_title is different.
The logic at the those lists is, to fetch first all controllers the system may find in that folder (module, payment, shipping, etc.).
Then loops through all, load the corresponding language files and try to get the heading_title
If that is not present, it shows you just heading_title instead.
