While allowing any node type to be made into a daily is a useful feature, it's had a side effect of annoying some of my users. The site originally ran daily on 4.7, and as a result of the upgrade to drupal 5 has inherited a daily node type, with taxonomy categories associated solely with that type. I don't have a problem with this, as it's how I'd probably have set things up myself.

In this case, it would be more convenient to allow particular node types to default the "enable as daily content" checkbox to "on" when posting, just as automatically publish can be defaulted on; this would avoid an extra click every daily post, as well as situations where users posting dailies with a dedicated node type forget to enable them, which leads to them not being published or entered into the daily database table.

Thanks for the module. :)

You will have to select a date anyway, and if the Javascript functions correctly, as soon as you select the date the checkbox gets checked too. So this will only be an issue if you always post daily issues for today only.

I'll try to implement an option for this one of these days, though.

I have looked into this again and decided not to implement this. I do not see how this will help many people (as said above, you will still have to select a date which should check the checkbox automatically), and it is just one more confusing option.
