Need config setting Personal books checked by default?

If a user only has personal book permissions then they will not be presented with the "Make personal" checkbox and all books they create will be personal books.

Does this solve your issue or do you have users with both 'book' and 'book_manager' permissions?

Perhaps a config setting for this?

I've tried to arrange my permissions like this and feel I've tried everything I could possibly try with this and my Drupal 6 installation.

I would like it so users won't have to click "Make this a personal book" each time, because I guarantee people won't remember to do so. It seems like it only makes sense to enable this as a default option somewhere...

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You can take advantage of "jquery",
Create script.js file in the folder with your theme sites/all/themes /"your_theme"
with the content:
$(document).ready(function(){$("#edit-book-ispersonal").attr("checked", "checked");});

all

As jgraham mentioned above, in the current version of Book Manager, if a user has only has 'create personal books' permissions then they will not be presented with the "Make personal" checkbox and all books they create will be personal books.

So, this is only an issue for users with both 'create personal books' and 'create new books' rights. A config setting would be nice for that case.

Agreed. That config setting would be a really nice addition. My site needs users to have both 'create personal books' and 'create new books' rights and it would be great to have the 'make personal' checkbox option checked by default. I'm going to give Arhimad's script a go, but that would be a handy addition for a future version.

Thanks for reviving the thread Marc! Your comment #4 above was very helpful.. that perm setting isn't as obvious as it seems...

Added config option.
