I have this custom action defined like this:

     <action id="com.sammy.doclib.action.writeToLog"
              icon="log_write"
              type="javascript"
              label="actions.sammy.writeToLog">
         <param name="function">onActionWriteToLog</param>
         <param name="successMessage">message.writeToLog.success</param>
         <param name="failureMessage">message.WriteToLog.failure</param>
         <evaluator negate="true">com.sammy.share.action.evaluator.LogWriteEvaluator</evaluator>
      </action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It shows up just fine. icon and everything,  however the label is not showing.  I have a custom.properties file in /share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/messages

with this line:

actions.sammy.writeToLog=Write to log‍

but what is showing is: actions.sammy.writeToLog right next to the icon.

Why is it not picking this up?  is my properties file in the wrong place?

Hi mangar,

do you have defined your custom.properties inside the custom-slingshot-application-context.xml?
This file is placed in either:
shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension
or
share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension

with the following entry:

<bean id="<Your ID>" class="org.springframework.extensions.surf.util.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">
      <property name="resourceBundles">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco.messages.custom</value>
         </list>
      </property>
</bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In my experience it's important that for share the messages bundles are defined in that way! Define the message bundles only inside alfresco/WEB-INF/… only works for the Alfresco-Explorer not for Share…
