Display settings for node type not set automatically

Hi Michelle, just tried out this module for the first time the other day and I like it quite a bit. Step 10 in the installation instructions caught me a bit off guard however:

Navigate to ?q=admin/content/types/uprofile/display and change the labels to inline as needed. This is not carried over via content copy.

I looked and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this via content_copy, but I've been doing this with install profiles, and custom update scripts for sites using the Install Profile API. I think this simple function from crud.inc could help you solve this problem.

/**
 * Set display settings for a field
 * @param string $type
 * @param string $fieldname
 * @param array $display_settings
 */
function install_field_set_display($type, $fieldname, $display_settings = array()) {
  db_query("UPDATE {node_field_instance} SET display_settings = '%s' WHERE type_name = '%s' AND field_name = '%s'",
	   serialize($display_settings), $type, $fieldname);
  content_clear_type_cache();
  drupal_set_message(st('Set display settings for field <em>@fieldname</em> for content type <em>@type</em>', array('@fieldname' => $fieldname, '@type' => $type)));
}

then, to use it, simple call it like this (with values adjusted as needed):

  install_field_set_display('bio', 'field_contact_title',
    array(
      'label' => array(
        'format' => 'inline'
      ),
      'teaser' => array(
        'format' => 'hidden'
      ),
      'full' => array(
        'format' => 'default'
      ),
    )
  );

I don't have time to cook up a patch at the moment but if I get a change I will try to do that. This snippet should help automate one of the installation steps, and as far as support requests go, that is always a good thing.
