	Custom default settings at install by Karl Wångstedt-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi all I wonder if there is an easy way to change the default settings WP inserts into the DB at install? Can I perhaps hook into the install process at some point with an array of settings from some custom script?

At it happens at install time it's not relevant to plugins/themes as neither could be active. westi -- Peter Westwood http://blog.ftwr.co.uk \| http://westi.wordpress.com C53C F8FC 8796 8508 88D6 C950 54F4 5DCD A834 01C5 _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

With WP.org and WP-MU merging, is there an impact to using install.php for custom distribs? - Eric Marden __________________________________ http://xentek.net/code/wordpress/ _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers

I gather that the mechanism that MU uses is the one we've been talking about in this thread. My question was, I guess, Does this impact that in anyway? - Eric Marden __________________________________ http://xentek.net/code/wordpress/ _______________________________________________ wp-hackers mailing list wp-hackers@... http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers
