Hello,
Does anyone know of a way that I could set the default screen options for my wpmu 2.7 site. As you know in 2.7, each screen gives the user the ability to toggle screen options off and on and I would love to set the default display for my users. I want to keep the screen simple and clean.
Hello,

When making a post, I wanted everything but "Categories" to be toggled off by default. When writing a "Page" I wanted "Custom Fields" and "Page Slug" toggled off by default. I think this pugin would do the trick but it's not designed for wpmu http://mahalkita.nanogeex.com/wplite/
I couldn't figure how to remove admin widgets from schema, but this seems to work:
/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php
Comment out unwanted widget lines (I commented lines 47-84)
It appears to remove admin widgets from *all* blogs cleanly. The downside is that it is a universal change for *all* blogs without exception - if you care.
I'm just a hack, so do this at your own risk (and do backups of any files you change). Maybe some of the *real* talent can say if this is a good way to go?

We just modify the schema.php file directly. Have to write3 up a script to run through all of the current blogs to make any changes though.
What are you trying to change?

It sure looks better. :-)

Really sorry to bump an old topic, but has anyone implemented a way to set the default screen options?
At the very least what's the last hook that runs when a user is activated and I'll set it up myself :)
