Get overriden field label

[tpr]

I try to re-use fields and would like to display the field label on the frontend, but all I got is the default label, not the overriden one.

It's a multilanguage site but I don't think it matters.

This is what I've tried:

echo $page->fields->body->label;

echo $templates->get('package')->fields->body->label;

Is there a way to get the overriden label text?

[LostKobrakai]

$templates->get("package")->fields->getField("body", true);

$templates->get("package")->fields->getFieldContext("body");

You need to get in in context

$p = $pages->get(1040);
$label = $p->fields->get('body', true);
echo $label;

// or if you are sure the page is there, a one-liner
echo $pages->get(1040)->fields->get('body', true);

Asleep in the midst of the day? There's probably only 1h time difference to your location.

Thanks guys, could've asked earlier to save some time

Finally I settled with this:

$templates->get('package')->fields->getFieldContext('body')->$labelLang

Where $labelLang is 'label' + language ID (if it's not the default language, otherwise simply 'label').

Yeah...the question went unanswered for a whole 1 minute, which means you were either asleep or busy,  ...just kidding...

Had this same issue today, ie get the customised label for a page/template field and tried all the above. They all returned the original field label and couldn't find any reference to the 'true' option when getting 'fields' or 'field' in the API Docs. Maybe PW has moved on or more likely, I missed something. Anyway, what did work for me was:

$page->getField("body")->label;

Hi,

This one worked for me in a multi-language field:

$string = $page->getField('your_field')->getLabel();
