Is there a way to establish default Custom Fields for the Write > Post panel, that can be included in every new blog setup? I read earlier that "mu-plugins" can auto-execute any PHP file or plugin in new installs. Is this the route to take to establish default Custom Fields for posts?
I just re-read my post and think that maybe I should include an example of what I am talking about. I want all new blogs to have Custom Fields used for post preloaded by default. So that users can select a Custom Field that has been pre-setup when writing post. Such as Name: Age: Hobbies:
Any ideas?
No one knows answer to this question?
Looks like it's not working in WMU 1.5 R.C1
I keep getting error messages when I write new custom field. Also, I don't see any new options inside administration.
It's working when placed inside plugins folder... but still, I don't know the right way to apply it for pages (not posts).
If it only works in the plugins folder and you need it installed in every blog you can use plugin commander.
Thanks watson, I did that already but I don't want to use it for 'write post' but for 'write page'. For some reason I can't get it to work inside 'write page' panel. I think I'll wait WPMU version of this plugin (if it ever happens) cause it does much more:

*scratches head*
If you're limiting users that much, why not just make them authors off a regular WP install?
unless you really want them to have their own "page", in which case you might want to look at buddypress.
'unless you really want them to have their own "page"'
Yes andrea (if were replying my posts), that's exactly what I want. It MUST be MU:)I can't wait for BuddyPress any more and to be honest I have a feeling that we'll never see stable release.
boonika, that freshpost plugin adds massive additional tables to the database.
BTW I just tested custom field gui plugin in 1.5 rc1 and it works perfectly.
You must make sure you:
- Remove all files from rc-custom-field-gui folder and place them directly into the mu-plugins folder
- Rename conf-sample.ini to conf.ini and make changes as needed to conf.ini
Thanks honewatson... better ever than never:) I have another question but I'll start a new thread for it.

Powerful plugin, although I'm not sure if you can set defaults across entire WPMU (all blogs).
Btw, I've managed to solve my problem.

Care to share? :)
Of course. But I must say that I didn't managed to get custom fields keys appear as defaults so your user will have to write them (only once) and latter he'll be able to chose from drop-down menu.
So here are the plugins I'm using:
1. Fpr displaying text info
Get Custom - http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/get-custom-field-values
2. For displaying thumbs and default thumbs
