Drupal is clearly moving to more of a decorator pattern with nodes, so it is becoming increasingly important that we have good, consistent interfaces for controlling which node types modules "decorate" and how. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern ----- "Dave Fletcher" <fletch@splendora.com> wrote:

IMO it's an interesting solution to have a widget for the purpose, though I'm not aware of other similar pre-fab widgets in Drupal.

Thinking about this, yeah an admin setting seems wrong.

If you want your module to automatically enable something for new node types, I'd suggest altering the node type form and put a default-on checkbox. That way, at least the feature can be disabled immediately after creating the type, and users don't have to hunt down the setting.
