  • How can I change the default name of the web form?

    I use the web forms in Business Catalyst, our web site is in Norwegian, so I want the FirstName and LastName values default to display in Norwegian in the error message when the field is not populated.

    For the moment, the user will receive an error message saying "Skriv inn First Name." "Skriv inn" is correctly translated from English to Norwegian, but the "First Name" value must be changed. It goes same for "cell phone number".

    In addition, I'm not really two fields for the name, I want the form to have just a field called "Name" or "Navn" in Norwegian.

    I tried to delete the fields name and replacing them with custom fields, but then I get an error message when the form is sent saying "ERROR: an error has occurred." Your web form should capture customer name and email address. "Please fix this problem and reinsert your web form on your web page."

    Also, why some the "-" before the mistake of having a space and some not? I want that all errors are displayed with a space between the hyphen and the error.

    The e-mail error is automatically translated into Norwegian for a reason, but it should be a hyphen in there, so he said 'e-postadresse' and not 'epostadresse '.

    Is there any where that I can customize these error messages? Or at least change the values of the English fields in Norwegian, so error messages display the field names Norwegian and not English?

    Look at the bottom of the html form and you will see a piece of JavaScript. You'll see the bits that produce the elements of the alert.

    I could do this drag-and-drop in Acrobat 9 Pro, but it doesn't seem to work in Acrobat Pro XI.

    As try67 said, I have not found a way to have the use of the A9 a different name. On a Mac, because the destination folder is "just there" the most straightforward approach is to highlight the file Untitled Pages.pdf extracted, press ENTER, and then type (or paste) the new name.

  • How can I change the default zoom for the new tab only?

    The new tab in Firefox 33 zoom is too high to see all 12 of my thumb nail. I changed it using ctrl - but the next time I opened a new tab, the zoom is 100%. How can I change the default zoom for the new tab only?

    I posted a style rule to shrink the tiles, which allows several of them on the page, but naturally reduces their legibility. You can experiment with the dimensions to find a look that works for you.

    https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

    I use the Stylish extension to experiment because of its preview function that allows me to see the effect quickly. You can install it from the site of modules, then after restart of Firefox while searching for his "S" icon in the toolbar to manage Styles so you can edit and experiment.

  • How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.?

    How can I change the default actions of what made the PC when I connect a camera, USB key, etc.. My Samsung intensity II is what I need it for; I want to shoot to the top of this window asking me what to do when I plug in, but one day, I was not thought and press on 'No Action' with the "always perform this action for this device" (or said something like that) checkbox checked.

    Once it is connected, go to my computer, and your camera photo or anything else that should be there.  If is isn't, it is a completely different issue.  It's done, right-click on it and select Properties.  Click the AutoPlay tab.  There is a version of dialogue enough of this "window asking me what to do."  You can figure out what to do from there.

  • How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

    When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

    To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.
