Default Preferences to be changed
This is the responsibility of the Profiles Team (please join!)
Below should be all coordination work to change Default settings of the standard profile.
Here are changes proposed to the default installation profiles. Discussing this in a Wiki page can keep track of all complaints we receive and point to what really needs to be changed.
| Where | Setting | Proposed change | Discussion |
| Parser | feature_wiki_paragraph_formatting | should it be y? | not a proposal, just a question |
| Wiki | wiki_badchar_prevent | y | because it causes issues with Short URLs |
| Admin General | Display menus as folders | Enable | Most problematic setting yet. I myself spent about an hour as Tiki admin not able to create much. I think the majority of new admins do the same, although recently it even led to the creation of an Assistant module. mose says historical reasons explain the current setting. Shouldn't we change it anyway? Chealer9 ricks99 thinks that showing the folders is much more intuitive than the +/-. I like the folders much better. |
| SEO | feature_sefurl_title_article and feature_sefurl_title_blog | turn on if SEFURL is on | |
| Editing and Plugins | wiki_edit_icons_toggle | Should be off dy default | Because new users never find out about the very useful edit plugin helper |
| Admin Security | Add "rel=nofollow" on external links (feature_wiki_ext_rel_nofollow) | It should default to off | Site generally wants to give props to friendly sites. This was changed hoping it would slow down spam, but the spam problem needs to be dealt with anyways. |
| Search | Exclude all plugins (unified_exclude_all_plugins) | Disable (include all plugins by default) | Proposed by Marc Laporte. Chealer: I agree this should be done though perhaps some plugins should be excluded as Marc wrote. |
Settings other than global preferences (not in control panels)
| Where | Setting | Proposed change | Discussion |
| Admin image galleries | Gallery is visible to non-admin users? | Enable | Someone just opened a bug report about that...this is probably not the first one to be confused. How many people leave that unchecked? Chealer9 |
| User Preferences | Use double-click to edit pages | Disable | It is too easy for new users to enter editing mode by accident. — colorado |
| Image galleries & File Gallery | Other users can upload images to this gallery: | Enable by default | If I create an image/file gallery, why wouldn't I, by default, want people to add? It's a non destructive operation marclaporte |
MyTiki:
Try a clean install. As of now, tiki-my_tiki.php is not WYSIWYCA on a clean install.
My Tiki (pages, tracker items, etc) should all be on by default.)
