Customize Default Alerts

Hello all,
I have been searching here in the forum and in Google for some information about the Forms built-in Alert.
I want to change the title, message, image and background color from some of the default Alerts that the Forms 10g has, like "Do you want to save the changes you have made".
There is a list of all default Alerts names or/and id's? Where can i find it?
Is it possible to change those default Alerts? How can i do it?
Best regards,
Pedro.

Thanks BaiB for your reply,
The functionality of the application i'm working on it's not a problem. I'm updating an entire stable application to a more modern, prettier layout.
I'm changing the "Look and Feel" of an entire application (which has more than 2000 forms), using the Oracle LAF Project. To change some triggers, on each form to catch ALL standard Forms errors possible will be at least painstaking. That is why i'm searching another solution for my problem. I would like to know if it is another workaround for this. And i'm curious about the management of those standard Alerts, how are they called and where are they located? Can i use the built-in set_alert_properties(), if so what is the Alert_Id of those Alerts, there is any list of the internal Forms alerts name and ID?
I want also to know if i can "catch" an standard alert before or after it pops-up, is there any global or system variable that indicates that a standard Forms alert has been fired?
Any enlightenment will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards
Pedro.

How can I customize default alerts in Calendar?

I would like Calendar to put a default email alert on every new event. I can do it individually with each event but I can't make it a default.
What I want is for Calendar to email me an alert the day after an event.
I have managed to be able to get Calendar into a two-week view using the terminal, and also adjust my default event legnth using Terminal. But I have been able to find nothing that will allow for me to customize the default alert settings. Any help would be great.
I use Calendar for work, so this may be an odd request but would improve my life drastically!

Hi,
For customising Required Message u can make use of "requiredMessageDetail" in af:inpuDate.
For Pattern validation message u can go as per Kavitha's advise or
Make use of "messageDetailConvertBoth", "messageDetailConvertDate" or "messageDetailConvertTime" as per ur "type" attribute u specified.

Customize default Delete dialog

Hi
My enviroment is:
Application Express 4.2.0.00.27
EPG
Oracle xe 11g R2
Windows 7 32 bit
I want to customize delete dialog, more precise I want to change labels OK/Cancel on Confirmation dialog.
probably should rewrite apex.confirm code or delegate to other function
button class="uButton " onclick="apex.confirm(htmldb_delete_message,'DELETE');"
I found articles JQuery UI modal delete confirmation and [http://dbswh.dyndns.info/dbswh/f?p=BLOG:READ:0::::ARTICLE:11400346855113]
but they are obsolete and no applicable to apex 4.2.
Maybe should apply something like [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4421072/jquery-ui-dialog-instead-of-alert-for-rails-3-data-confirm-attribute]
My knowlege of jquery is poor , so I can't implement this.
It will be nice to see in future relases, possibility to customize default application dialogs with application property delete dialog html code snippet
IE ( DIV { jQuery UI dialog ....}
In this case you can contribute better visual part of application , adding custom images, css ...
as well better globalization support, since javascript alert button labes are not covered in proces of translations.

Not that I know of. Typically if you need customized dialog boxes you can build your own and handle the values as needed to follow CR parameter types.
Thank you

How to change default alerts in iCal?

Hello.
Every time you add a new event in iCal, the Info panel of the event contains a series of default alerts that you may want to add to it. However, all of them are useless to me (e.g.: "Send email to <my address> 4 days after), so I need to manually edit them event by event. Anybody knows how to change them? I have already inspected all the plist files related to ical, and looked inside the ical package content, but I found no indication of where to change these values. Using iCal version 5.0.2
Thanks,
l

John: Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I was indeed inspecting the plist with bbedit, but what I did not realize is that the file has some parts which are binary, so I could not see the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms part by using a text editor. I opened it with Xcode and I did find what you were saying, and erased all the junk that was in there. In fact, the issue I had was also described here:
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Uk/uk.comp.sys.mac/2010-06/msg02349.html
For some reason, it looks like after some upgrade the program adds were some positive values in the plist and I was stuck with default alarms that were set *after* the events I wanted to set an alarm for.
I did what you suggested, then added by hand new values to the PersistentMenu part of the plist, and I am now happy.
For everybody's information, to know what I did, it is enough to know to add Dictionary items to the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms, with 3 fields:
-- AlarmTypeKey (this determines if you want a sound, or else an email, or else the other default alarm type keys. For example, sending an email is a Number, value 4; having a message with sound is a Number, value 3)
-- AlarmDurationKey: This is a Number, in seconds, that determines when you want your alarm to trigger. E.g: -172800 will be two days before. Must be negative for "before", of course)
-- AlarmParameterKey: This is a String, where you store the value that you want the alarm to have. For example, if you want an email to be sent, the AlarmTypeKey will be 4, as explained above, and this field will contain your email address. Instead, if you want the alarm to be a sound, the AlarmTypeKey will be 3 and this field will have the name of the sound you want (e.g., Basso).
That's it. Thanks a lot for the solution!

Can I set a default alert type in iCal?

For some reason all new events in my iCal (whether I create them, or someone invites me) have two alerts set by default:
1. Email (10 minutes before)
2. Message (10 minutes before)
I don't want either of these as my default, but I can't figure out how to change it. Is it possible to set a default alert type/time?
Macbook Pro
OS 10.7.2
The calendar in question is CalDAV (from Google calendar)

Hi,
In iCal the default alarm type is "message with sound". You cannot change the type of alarm but you can change the offset of it.
Now that you say it is a Google calendar, information for setting default alarms on Google Calendar: Change your default notification settings : Google Calendar Help

Calender overriding default alert settings in iOS

Here's the problem: when I do an All Day Event in Calendar, something overrides my default Alert settings and sets and Alert for 9:00am the day before the All Day Event. I only want Alerts set on Events I choose, so I'm assuming that's why I have my defaults Everywhere (Mac, iPad, iPhone iPod Touch) set to None for Birthdays, Events, and All Day Events. Once the Alert sounds, if I go in to Edit the Event and delete the Alert, it does not recur if edited properly. (I do use multi-day All Day Events).
This is most annoying, BTW. Because I trust these devices to be accurate and to do what I expect within their rather few limitations compared to the rest of the techno-device universe.
What am I not doing? What should be undone?
Thanks for any help.

How to set the default alert to 'none'?

The question is pretty much self-explanitory. What I'd like to be able to do is create a new iCal event, and to have no alerts put in there as default, so it would be set to 'none'. At the moment, I have two default alerts - one by email, the other being a message. I don't want any!
Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any and all help, in advance!

There are a couple of ways of doing this:
If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

How to set default alert time?

Whenever I set up a new calendar item on iCal and want to set an alarm one or more days before the event, the alarm defaults to 11:45PM. I would like to change this default time to something like 9:00 am. I've checked preferences but don't see any way to do that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Go iCal Preferences/General and click the default alert tick box at the bottom. You can then adjust the amount of minutes before the event for the alarm. NB. ticking the tickbox means you get an alarm for every entry.

Calendar: Over-riding Default Alert

I have a default alert set up for calendar entries.
Sometimes, for a specific event, I want to have a different alert time period. If I try to over-ride the default, then both the new and the default show up. I only want the new one. Is it possible to do this?
Side question:
...I'm not sure if I set the default up in icloud or on my phone. Would that matter? Or is this setting shared between both places?

There is an iTunes global setting to not automatically sync when any iPod or iPhone is connected - iTunes > Preferences under the Devices tab.
When syncing calendar events and contacts with an empty supported calendar and address book application on your computer, doing so will erase all calendar events and contacts on the iPhone. Before syncing calendar events with an empty Outlook calendar, enter one calendar event in Outlook. Make this event up if needed which can be deleted later. This should provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
Contacts and calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If syncing with Outlook erases all calendar events from your iPhone, do not sync your iPhone again before restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Select Restore under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences and when prompted to backup or update your iPhone's backup, decline this prompt.

Change default alert time in Calendar

Is there a way to change the default alert time in Calendar to something different than 9:00 AM? I realize I can do it directly in the calendar entry itself, but I want the default to be a different time and not have to correct it every time I create an entry.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael, starting with Mavericks, the Preferences in Calendar do not allow you to change the default time from 9:00 AM to any other time. The only way to modify the alert time is on an entry-by-entry basis using "Custom...". I want the default time to be something other than 9:00 AM so I don't have to change it in every entry.

Change iCal default alert.

Is it possible to change the default alert in iCal to email with Mac OS X Lion?

I see that with the introduction of Mavericks that they did not introduce the opportunity to set default alerts in their new Calendar upgrade, which I imagine would help a lot of people and would be relatively easy to create.
I like to have an email alert for every Calendar event in my Inbox (the best way for me not to miss any event) and at the moment with Mavericks Calendar it takes 4 clicks every time I set up a new event to achieve this, which os a real pain. It is even more clicks than Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know a workaround to achieve that until they write the software.
Does anyone else have this problem too?

Setting default alert button at runtime

Setting default alert button at runtime
Sometime I want Button1 to be default and sometimes I want Button2 to be default.
Please tell me how to change the default button at runtime.
Thanks
Claus Hansen [email protected]

Beware of a slight bug in at least some versions. If the user dismisses the alert using the [X] close window control it fires a particular button which is not neccesarilly the default one. I always ensure that I make the default button the one which the control fires.

Silencing the default alert in Calendar App (Mountain Lion)

For the newly named Calendar App (was iCal), default alerts behaviour seems to have changed in 10.8 Mountain Lion as compared with iCal in Lion.
Through preferences, it is possible to specify a default alert. I would like to make that alert silent by default (the Basso sound jars). In iCal, before Mountain Lion, this little hack achievd this by making the specified alarm silent: link
Anyone have an equivalent solution for Calendar App in Mountain Lion or experience of using this hack in Mountain Lion?

Does the Alerts tab in your Calendar preferences pane have a "Play a sound" checkbox? If so, will unchecking slience the alerts?
Or, in Notification Center, there's a setting to turn off Calendar sounds.
My issue is that I seem to be missing the "Play a sound" checkbox I described above (see pic for what it *should* look like). Anyone else have this issue?
