How to define alias name for field names in the dashboard?

meysam

I have followed the following tutorial on creating a simple guestbook module:

My question is about the "Module Edit View" section of dashboard where we create a new guestbook record. In that section, filed names are equal to those defined in database, like Author, comment, date and visible. Is it possible to have the custom dashboard show another name for database fields? Like showing "writer" instead of "author".

Yes. You can edit your module model's form_fields() method to include whatever Form_builder field types you want. It should return an array of array field configuration. More can be found here:
