Write a new module for customization issues.

In your custom_module.module file you simply write

function custom_module_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'draggableviews_view_draggabletable_form_{VIEW_NAME}_{DISPLAY_ID}') {
    $form['submit']['#value'] = '{BUTTON_LABEL}';
  }
}

where you have to replace {VIEW_NAME} with the view-name, {DISPLAY_ID} with the display_id and {BUTTON_LABEL} with your custom button label.

Easy enough? :)

Thank you for your instructions.

I know FAPI and I know how to change a form button value with it, but you can see in your own example that my hook_form_alter depends on two variables (VIEW_NAME and DISPLAY_ID). Each time I change one of them I have to adjust my hook_form_alter callback.

My idea was to put the 'Save' button text into the configuration settings where I can already find a lot of options in the 'Defaults: Style options: Draggable Table Settings' section. Then there is no need to adjust my customized button text if one of the above variables is changing.
But I can live with your suggestion. Thanks again.

I wanted to open another issue for a feature request, but after reading http://drupal.org/node/551522 I don't think that there is an easy solution: I use a draggable view as panel pane (with Panels 3). In the view I set AJAX to 'yes'. But as far as I can see there is no AJAX functionality when I click the draggable view 'Save' button. That means there is always a complete page request and not only a AJAX request which only updates my view pane, right?

Thank you in advance. Great module!

You're right, that's actually a great idea. I don't have time at the moment but I put it on top of my todo list :)

Right. Such a ajax request sounds very useful too. Another line on my todo list.

Thank you very much!

And your description of this option ( '#description' => t('Make the workflow more intuitive for the user.')) is a good explanation of my intention with this feature request.
