Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/24003 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: forum.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Steven Reported by: Steven Updated by: Steven Status: patch Sorry I based this on a quick glance at my variables table which seemed to be stale. But I've noticed a problem with the way node options are checked in blogapi. Better patch coming. Steven Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ May 31, 2005 - 18:52 : Steven Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/forumpromote.patch (1.14 KB) One side effect of the node system is that all the default node flags (promote, revisions, etc) have only one default setting for all node types. The most meaningless result of that IMO is that forum topics are promoted to the front page by default. This is probably one of the most confusing things people run into when setting up a Drupal forum. The attached patch adds a row to the variable table to force forum topics to not be promoted by default. This will only affect new installations. Patch is for CVS, but IMO it should go in 4.6 too.
