|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Simple 4-step usage:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to user permissions (/admin/user/permissions) and set your permissions.
|
|
2. Navigate to Site Configuration > Input formats (/admin/settings/filters)
|
|
3. There you will find 2 tabs where you can change your settings.
|
|
Defaults (/admin/settings/filters/defauts)
|
|
Settings (/admin/settings/filters/settings)
|
|
4. If you enable the "Control formats per node type" option. Go to your content
|
|
type admin page to set those settings (example /admin/content/node-type/page).
|
|
The settings are under the Input format settings fieldset.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Important:
|
|
|
|
When setting default formats ensure that you arranged the roles correctly
|
|
placing roles in their order of precedence. This is used to determine what
|
|
default a user will get when they have more than 1 role.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
All logged in users are automatically assigned the authenticated user role
|
|
so this role must be below all other roles that you want to set a default for or
|
|
they will get the authenticated user role default instead.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
Let's say you have the 2 roles that come with Drupal and have added an
|
|
'admin' role. You would most likely want to arrange the roles in this order:
|
|
|
|
admin
|
|
authenticated user
|
|
anonymous user
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------

|
Extended usage and notes:
|
|
|
|
* The default format will only be set on NEW nodes and comments. The format
|
|
selected when the form is submitted is used for future editing purposes.
|
|
|
|
* The module is designed to always fall back to default settings when needed.
|
|
This means that when you enable the module before you change any settings,
|
|
it will use your current Drupal settings. Also when you enable conrol per node
|
|
type it will use your global settings until you save the content type with new
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
* The permissions "collapse format fieldset by default" and
|
|
"collapsible format selection" will only work if "Show format selection" is
|
|
also given. This is because those 2 perms only have an effect when there is
|
|
a format selection.
|
|
|
|
* The permission "collapse format fieldset by default" will only work if
|
|
"collapsible format selection" is also given. This is because the
|
|
fieldset can only be collapsed by default if it is collapsible.
|
|
|
|
* If you dis-allow a format that is already being used by content, the module
|
|
will do its best to set the correct format. The precidence of the formats are:
|
|
1. Existing format selected when last saved
|
|
2. Content type default format
|
|
3. Global default format
|
|
4. First allowed format
|
|
5. Drupal core site default format
|
|
|
|
* User 1 is treated the same as all other users when it comes to a default
|
|
format. If user 1 has not been assigned any roles then it will be assigned
|
|
the authenticated user role's default format. If you want user 1 to have the
|
|
default of another role assign that role to user 1.
|
|
|
|
* Ensure you read the important notes in the previous section marked important.
|
|
It explains how you must order your roles to effectively get your defaults.
