Add "Label" field to roles

[suntrop]

I would like to use the label for roles, as the label is used for templates.

My role names are more technical and in englisch, but I would like to give them a more readable and lengthier name. When I edit the "role" template there is no field "templateLabel" I can add.

Where do you need this "label" to be visible?

You could try adding a title field to the role template. This way, when you drill down the admin page-tree, you will see the title instead of the name.

On the user-edit page for example

I had added the title filed to the roles template. And I found I can configure the roles module to display other fields in the listing under Access > Roles – but currently I found no way to display the title instead the name on the user profile pages.

What about this in your ready.php file:

$this->addHookBefore("InputfieldCheckboxes::render", function($event) {
    if($event->object->id != 'Inputfield_roles') return;
    $optionsWithTitles = array();
    foreach($event->object->options as $id => $name) {
        $roleTitle = $this->wire('roles')->get($id)->title;
        $optionsWithTitles[$id] = $roleTitle != '' ? $roleTitle . ' ('.$name.')' : $name;
    }
    $event->object->options = $optionsWithTitles;
});

 

In this screenshot I have only added a title to the "Editor" role:

That is great! Many thanks.
