Kristof Coomans	Thursday 01 September 2005 12:29:00 am The defaults in the CachedViewPreferences setting are only used for view caching. The best way to accomplish this is to write a little post publish workflow event type, that sets the default preferences for a user object. You can put the preference/default value pairs in an INI file, or provide an interface in your event type to store them in the workflow event. independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org

Kristof Coomans	Thursday 01 September 2005 1:46:44 am Can you add this workflow event type to the contributions when it's ready? Thanks! independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Olivier Pierret	Thursday 01 September 2005 1:18:51 pm Unfortunately I cannot make a contribution with this, I have integrated this change in a very specific extension that is useful only for our customer. However, I can tell you it works. Just put the following line in the processEvent function: eZPreferences:setValue('admin_treemenu','1',$objectID); I use this in conjunction with the importXmlData contrib (http://ez.no/community/contribs/import_export/import_xml_data) I import the users from a big xml file and a workflow is triggered on each user created in the ez systems. It allows me to set the correct preferences and access rights on the created users. Now, you know everything ;)
