Set the Labels for Message Editing Buttons

Whenever you are creating or editing a message, there are four buttons shown:

• Submit Changes
• Preview Msg
• Delete Msg
• Cancel Changes

It is now possible set the labels of those buttons to whatever you wish. Personally, I prefer:

• Save
• Preview
• Delete
• Cancel

... but you can set them to whatever you want.

Edit these labels in your message templates (such as Styled Message Editing, or Alternate Editing), but remember that you must be set up to use the template that you edit! Specify your DG templates in the Default DG prefs in the admin area.

To change the label, just set the macro's "label" attribute to whatever you want the button to say. The macros to edit (in the template) are:

• <!--#msgSaveButton label="Submit Changes"-->
• <!--#msgPreviewButton label="Preview Msg"-->
• <!--#msgDeleteButton label="Delete Msg"-->
• <!--#msgCancelButton label="Cancel Changes"-->

I consider this a MISS feature, because many people find the current button labels to be rather confusing.

Update July 6, 2002:

You can also change the label of the button used in the enclosures area of the message editing form. Just add the label attribute (parameter) to the #msgEnclosures macro, like this:

<!--#msgEnclosures label="Add Another Enclosure"-->
