Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/26036 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.1 Component: filter.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: jchris Updated by: jchris Status: patch /i like the convenience of this ... for this sort of pref, i prefer that we simply remember what the user chose as an input format the last time. that the most natural way to use this. who wants to go totheir profile page? i propose to do away with the UI on the profile form but i don't feel strongly about that./ I agree, just remembering the previous selection would be nice though perhaps harder to implement (for me anyway). However, keeping the profile-page UI as well might allow for the extension of having per-node-type input-format preferences as well (e.g. wiki for blog, html for book) though there may be no real demand for that. Of course, I never let a lack of demand deter me. :-) jchris Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 30, 2005 - 01:28 : jchris Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/filter.module_9.patch (1.61 KB) Here's a patch to filter.module that allows users to set their preferred input format, when multiple formats are available. A selection of available formats is added to the user-account editing page. The user's selection is persistent and is used to initialize the input-format selector on the node-editing pages. This patch requires an addition of an 'input_format' field to the {users} table: alter table users add input_format int(4) NOT NULL default '0'; I'm not 100% sure I did this correctly. I'm no PHP coder. Anyway, it seems to work. Patch file is attached. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ June 30, 2005 - 01:40 : moshe weitzman i like the convenience of this ... for this sort of pref, i prefer that we simply remember what the user chose as an input format the last time. that the most natural way to use this. who wants to go totheir profile page? i propose to do away with the UI on the profile form but i don't feel strongly about that.

There are already lots of settings on the user profiles that users do not care about.
