According to the following references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.devel/6272/match=dbprefs http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/DefaultPreferences I should be able to set user preference defaults for any users logging into squirrelmail for the first time. The following variable in db_prefs.php is the one I believe must be added to: var $default = Array('theme_default' => 0, 'show_html_default' => '0'); Any preferences I add above (like 'sort' => 0) do not get written to my db userprefs entry nor does the 2 prefs above. Has anyone successfully used/added default preferences to their database backend? I don't see any php errors when trying this out. I'm running: courier-imap-3.0.4 php-common-4.3.10 apache-module-php-4.3.10 apache-1.3.31 Solaris 9 squirrelmail-1.4.7 Too many plugins to list... Note: The default preferences that do get added for a new account are the hililist and javascript_on prefkeys. _________________________ Bryan Loniewski Rutgers University NBCS - Systems Programmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
