If I wanted to change certain aspects that are setup by default when a new member is registered, like for instance, if i want "Auto-Notification" option in the member center checked by default for all subsequent new members that register, what file would I look in?

Thanks.

hmm.. no response, but i found it anyways...

In Register.pl

Look for

Code
			'password'   => $FORM{'pw'},
			'sn'         => $wantedname,
			'email'      => lc($FORM{'email'}),
			'posts'      => 0,
			'registered' => $curtime,
			'timezone'   => $gtzone || 0,
			'status'     => $vradmin,
			'validation' => $formid,
			'md5upgrade' => 1,




Just follow the syntax and add whatever options you want to be checked by default when new members register....

I wanted the pm popup and auto notify box to be checked, so added the following:

Code

			'pmpopup'    => 1,
			'notify'     => 1,
			



Im still working on getting the "E-mail me when I receive new Private Messages" preference to be checked by default.  Specifically, I am not sure how/when the .prefs files in the Members directory are written.

Ill post if i figure it out.
