Hello
I changed the 'default' MU theme to get my users use by default a theme of my own.
I'd like to auto-install some widgets (ie 'Categories' Box, 'Subscribe to RSS' box, etc) to simplify stuff for users.
Is there a simple way to do this ?
What I did so far isn't correct :
- I created a new 'test' blog
- I put the new default theme
- I activated widgets I'd like to auto-install for each new blog that will be created by users
Then I altered wp-admin/includes/schema.php
- I took the columns/fields related to widgets in the wp_x_options table of 'test' blog
- I've added this stuff as options to schema.php, ie :
add_option('widget_meta', 'a:1:{s:5:"title";s:0:"";}');etc. for each stuff related to widgets. I didn't use the 'update_option' function but 'add_option".
BUT :
This doesn't work well : first, at a new blog creation, WPMU changes some of values I've entered. Which breaks the code.
Secondly, when I correct this stuff in the db to reflect values of the test blog, it doesn't work on the new blog : widgets appear but show strange values.
How can I auto-install widgets to users'sidebar when they create new blogs ?
Thanks in advance,
Gautier
