Hi there,
i wanted to amend the install (possibley sql file) when each user creates a blog to give them some extra default information.
My main aim is to set up a gallery with an image eachtime a user registers.
what files would i need to look at?
regards
Don't modify the core files. Take a look at my plugin here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/
It doesn't do gallery stuff, but it should give you an idea of how to set up a plugin to do what you want.
This one is a much simpler example (no admin interface - just modify the plugin code directly) that you could use as an example, too:
http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/wpmu-blog-defaults
Just a couple of additions, i think it would also help users who want this system for a CMS option is to add this:
Front page displays:
- "A static page (select below)"
Otherwise, is it possible to have a static page on the front? Normally, i define a static page here in the reading settings and edit the php template page.
