Thanks so much for the reply. Here's what I'm trying to do.
I've been using a single install of WP and the Prologue theme for some time and have successfully implemented the "Role Manager" and "Hide Dashboard" plugins to limit the author's role to simply "Read" and "Write" capabilities. As you're no doubt aware, a new author under this scenario will enter their profile page with no access to dashboard, admin settings, etc. With some minor editing at that point, I direct the user to go right to the blog where they can begin posting using Prologue's built-in post editor at the top of the page. Easy peasy....
I'd like to replicate this in WPMU, (ideally with authors having the ability to post to their own blog and these posts appearing on the main blog). In order for it to work seamlessly, though, I need all new signups having these limited capabilities at default (versus the existing admin capabilites). I think that if I use WPMUPluginCommander I can enable the Role Manager/HideDashboard scenario across all new blogs and with the reduced capabilities for authors it should do the trick.
Now I simply (in jest) need a way to implement the adjusted author role at default for new blog owners. To your earlier post, I've looked for "wpmu_new_blog" and "wpmu_new_user" but am finding "wp-user" and "wp-blog" in WPMU 1.5. Am I missing something?
Appreciate any further feedback...
Thx
