How to modify default.aspx in sharepoint 2007

I am new in the SharePoint and I am working in a project has two English and French websites.
I have a subside in both English and French websites are using a calendar web part.
But, as the theme used in the English site is different to the French one, the Calendars colors are different.
I got the default.aspx pages are using different style sheet files in the header so my assumption is that I can change the link of style sheets in the default.aspx French site to be the same as English one and then the calendar's color would be the same too.
(It should be mentioned I compared both of calendar.css files are the same but core.css files are different)
However, I don't know how can I get the default.aspx page to edit or which permission do I need to have or SharePoint designer must be installed in my machine or any extensions in the web server?
Also, I tried to edit the masterpage in the sharepoint designer but it gives me below error:
This type of page is not served.
Server Error in '/' Application.  This type of page is not served.    Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden.  The extension '.master' may be incorrect.   Please
review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.   Requested URL: /_catalogs/masterpage/default.master  Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3649; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3648  
Please help me to solve my problem.
Thanks.

Default.aspx is stored in the "root" of each site.  Can you advise if you want to change the styling and colours or just the content. 
If it's content you want to change, edit rights and the Site Actions --> Edit Page will be sufficient.  You'll see slightly different things depending on if you're in a publishing site or not but it's easy enough to add copy from here.
If you want to make changes specifically for one page, you can consider copying the masterpage, giving it a relevant name and then setting that as the master page for the site level (not the site collection level).

  • Change the Page title of Default.aspx in SharePoint Hosted App using ECMA Script

    Basically i want to change page title dynamically. the thing is default.aspx page is present in the below location
    Folders/Pages/Default.aspx ( Verified using
    SharePoint Manager 2013 Online )
    Could any one let me know how to iterate through the folders and then go to pages and change title of Default.aspx page?

    All the links which is mentioned above is either they are doing it in code behind or javascript like document.title.
    I want to change dynamically using ECMA script. the point i found here is if you use the below code you will get an error saying list "Pages" does not exists in the SharePoint site.
    clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Pages");

  • How to modify default Space Around Component in NetBeans 6.0?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to modify the default Space Around Component in NetBeans 6.0? I use Panel and either they stick completely to the border or stand too far. I can't find any options to modify this in NetBeans 6.0. I have tried using the 'Space Around Component...' functionality, but as soon as I move an element, NetBeans automatically replaces the values I have entered with default values I am not interested in.
    Does anyone have the solution?
    Thanks!

    I think you just have to move the component holding the alt key... that way you can put the components wherever you want to..... it was alt, or shift, or another special key, try it... i don�t remember right now

  • SharePoint 2007 performance issue after upgrading the operating system

    We upgraded the operating system of our SharePoint Server 2007 from 2003 to 2008 R2. After upgrade we rebuilt the SharePoint using content DBs we backed up before upgrade. All settings is same except that we moved the DBs to new SQL servers. Now users are
    reporting performance issue with sites. I experienced it myself some of the pages takes 9-30 seconds to load. Also our SharePoint server is single server. I monitored the SharePoint Server and it is fine. I did fiddler trace and here are the result. I see
    lots of 401 (login failed) errors then 302 (redirect) then 200 (OK). Do you know why we are getting 401 errors?

    Hi
    when you request a  Site collection (http://domain/) or a Site (http://domain/foo/) of your Publishing Site you get redirected to the http://domain/Pages/<WelcomePage>.aspx. SharePoint 2007 uses the 302 header (location temporarily moved) for
    this purpose. Surprisingly even WSS uses the 302 header to redirect a root url to the default.aspx. In comparison ASP.NET uses an internal redirect to render the default page when the root url requested: there is no redirect in this situation.
    Check the link which can give more input
    http://blog.mastykarz.nl/sharepoint-2007-redirect-solved-using-301-instead-of-302-redirects/
    for error 401 you can check this link
    http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/97027-no-resources-401-unauthorized/d
    and check SharePoint ULS logs and event viewer for any exceptions.

  • Modify default installation path of WindowsApps

    Modify default installation path of WindowsApps        
    First explain, I am a Chinese Windows user, my English fighting is only 5（very poor）.Then I will try to use some simple English to tell you my problem.
    I use the method used in windows8 to modify default installation path of WindowsApps,but defeated.
    Why I want to modify default installation path of WindowsApps?
    Because when I installed software that is suitable for the traditional model, my C disc had only 10GB space.
    I think Win8.1 is perfect.And I like the traditional mode and Metro interface.(I heard Win9 can’t use two modes at the same time,but I think simultaneous use of two modes the operation is very nice.)
    The method used in windows8:
    First,Enter WinPE,create a file that is the mirror image of WindowsApps in D disc.
    Then,Enter Win8.1,make User get thechanges to the “Appx” folder under theregistry.
    Last,Amended registry master key of “packageRoot”as “D:/WindowsApps”
    This operation can be completed in Win8,but default in Win8.1.
    So,could you tell me how to modify default installation path of WindowsApps?
    If it’s impossible ,I hope Microsoft team could solve it.

    In my opinion it's a bad idea to change this, as most software is set to install on drive C: and not all of it may be using the proper CSIDL system calls to get the locations. 
    You can be sure the majority of testing is done with applications installing in the system default location on C:.
    A much better idea is to save a few Yuan and buy a much larger SSD for the system drive, then use the default drive C: locations for the operating system and installed programs.

  • How to auto populate data from one list in SharePoint 2007 into another list based on a key value?

    Hi,
    As a part of new requirement in my project I am supposd to work on SharePoint 2007. I have one List (BCExtract - Main list) with all data related to an Application (like ID, name, app manager RTO etc).
    I have created another list which has form to be filled by a user (with details about his/her applications). My requirement is that when the user enters AIT ID then the page should refresh (probably after hitting enter) and other details like Application
    name, RTO etc which is present in another list gets auto populated depending on the AIT ID (unique column) entered so reduce the burden on the user.
    Please suggest me how this can be done. I do not have permission for obtaining SharePoint Designer and I do not know JQuery. Infopath is ok but if this can be done through SharePoint 2007 alone then it would be great.
    Thanks....

    Hello,
    You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
    I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:
    To get value from list:

    http://www.robertkuzma.com/2010/08/read-list-items-using-sharepoint-web-services-and-jquery/
    To set value in column:

    http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/468729
    If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.
