Default User Preferences

From DotProjectWiki

There is an option in System Administration for setting User Preferences.

This operates exactly as per setting your own User Preferences as outlined at Setting Your Default Preferences

The only difference is that using the System Administration > Default User Preferences option is that you are setting up the defaults for all new user accounts.

Up to (and including) dotProject version 2.1.1 when a user account is created that account will "inherit" the default preferences as they are at the time that the account is created. Any further changes to the default user preferences will not be reflected in previously created user account preferences - those changes must be made for each individual user.

Post the release of 2.1.1 (in other words if you have downloaded a subsequent CVS Snapshot - or for the upcoming 2.1.2 release), user preferences only override default user preferences if you specifically set them to a non-default value. In all other cases if you update the user defaults, any user that has not set their own preferences to non-default values will be given the new default.
