See Migrate to v2019: http://www.hkvstore.com/phpmaker/doc/migrate.htm
Now Font Awesome v4 (not v5) included in AdminLTE 3 is used.

Font Awesome v4 CSS class names are different from v5. See the Font Awesome site for complete information.

You cannot use setPhrase method in order to change/replace the field caption. Use setFieldPhrase method instead, for example, this will replace CustomerID field caption become "Email" that belongs to the orders table in demo project (adjust the table name and field name to yours):

Language()->setFieldPhrase("orders", "CustomerID", "FldCaption", "Email <i class='fa fa-envelope ew-icon'></i>");

Hello, thanks but where put this code? in global code or language_load or row rendered?

i try to put this on language_load:

function Language_Load() {

Language()->setFieldPhrase("employees", "Email", "FldCaption", "Email <i class='fa fa-envelope ew-icon'></i>");

}

and get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setFieldPhrase() on null in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmaker\phpfn15.php:11391 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmaker\phpfn15.php(11132): PHPMaker2019\project1lastv1\Language->Language_Load() #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmaker\classes\documents_list.php(382): PHPMaker2019\project1lastv1\Language->construct() #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmaker\documentslist.php(20): PHPMaker2019\project1lastv1\documents_list->construct() #3 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmaker\phpfn15.php on line 11391

If you put it in Language_Load(), you need to use $this instead of Language().

put in language_load, no error but nothing change

// Language Load event
function Language_Load() {
// Example:
$this->setFieldPhrase("employees", "Email", "FldCaption", "Email <i class='fa fa-envelope ew-icon'></i>");

}

"Email" is a reserved name, IIRC.
Check your language file, see the actual fieldname written there, is it "Email" ? Or "_Email" ?

You'll find your language file (xml file) inside phplang folder.
