Untested, though. Chx, do yuo not need to default the node-settings? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 23 Jul 2005 18:19:31 +0000 : TDobes This is one of Drupal's best features. Why should we hide it and/or make things more difficult for so-called "advanced users?" I feel that the ability to create PHP pages and PHP blocks should be part of the out-of-box experience. (available without any "extra steps" on a fresh install) A first-time user looking for this ability might get discouraged and give up before finding the "input formats" screen and realizing that they must create a new item. Also, this might be a problem resulting in support requests if people get confused and combine other filters with the PHP parser filter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 23 Jul 2005 18:45:41 +0000 : nevets Interesting, I thought it was general disabled by default (but installed). I think it should be part of the default install because it very useful in creating custom blocks and nodes.
