I would like to change the default mode in "story editor" from "comments enabled" to "comments disabled" and "shown on frontpage" to "show in topics only". thanks for the help.

There's no such setting for "show in topic only", though. You would have to change that in admin/story.php directly.

bye, Dirk

Thanks for the info Dirk. I changed the default comment mode to disabled OK, but I still can't change the Show on frontpage mode. I have tried changing $A['statuscode'] variable from 1 to 0. but it didn't work. Any other ideas.

Wrong variable. It's 'frontpagecode', not 'statuscode'.

bye, Dirk

I figured it out. I just added the following code to admin/story.php. there was no entry for 'frontpagecode'

$A['frontpage'] = 0

-Joe

My bad. 'frontpage' is correct ('frontpagecodes' is the name of the database table holding the text for the dropdown menu). Sorry.

bye, Dirk

I couldn't get this fix to work, a year later on current version is there anyway to set the deafult to "Show in Topic only" instead of "Show on Frontpage"?

Hi,
I'm also unable to get this to work.
I've tried adding $A['frontpage'] = 0; to various areas of story.php but nothing changes.
There must be a way of doing this, but at the moment I can't find it.

Ok, I've managed to get this to work at last
I added the following:
$A['frontpage'] = 0;
at lines 190 & 164 of admin/story.php ie after the $A['featured']
This seems to work well. Both stories that need moderating and those that don't appear to be set to 'show in topic only' as default.

Regards,
Jon
