Lol! Quite right. I knew that. I always get your prefixes mixed up. Even when googling for plugins.
I’ll fix it. Does that require a v2 or something?
And thanks for the congrats. It was kind of fun. Sadly, it’s about as complicated as I would ever have time for.

No need, I think you fixed it in time.

Ed. 2 Corrected Stef’s prefix and changed mine to something more … French-plural. Artisin des plugins simple. C’est moi !
Version is the same.

Re: make default status draft instead of live?
I’m working on something based on pub_draft_default as I’d like to make the default configurable in a global pref setting.
I would also be interested to know if there are any use-cases that would require being able to have different default statuses definable on a per-group basis, on a per-user basis or even on a per-section basis?

I haven’t tried Stef’s smd_user_manager plugin yet…the per group and per user might be similar there. /shrug/
But the per section basis tunes me in. Over in this thread Maverick mentioned “I use “hidden” for record keeping purposes — notes, etc. as part of a ChMS set up.”. This made me think of it in another way (end of that post), where one of the status (like Hidden) could be used for custom documentation (from me to the client receiving the CMS build). I’ve done the PDFs and more recently the Google docs, but something like this would keep it central to the system. So it’s easy for me to think that I might claim the Hidden status for docs only and thus only the admin can use status Hidden. Then setup a “docs” section, for example, where the docs content could be seen by back-office users (any role) in rendered format but not public.
Something like that? I guess I’m mixing my wishes between here and the other thread. Wave off any bad smell.

pub_draft_default now reborn as sed_default_article_status.
