Allow different roles to have different default filters [#48262]

Current behavior forces you to choose a common default input format for ALL roles. This sucks. I need to have anti spam messures on the anon role's filter, but not on other role's filters. Maybe it would be a better idea to use wieghts to select the default, I don't know, as long as roles dont have the same default filter, I will be happy.

The default roles are a definite problem! Seems folks have brought this issue up for quite some time, yet no one has attempted to put a fix. Talking about creating a simple user interface for data entry... no way. You either have to put a default of the very basic for anonymous users to use and then the registered users have to check their input format each and every time, or you give anonymous users the ability to do everything registered users can. This is not good! Please, one of the core developers look at this REAL problem.

I changed the category to a bug report because this really is a bug... it's bugging all my users...

Please fix this problem

I apologize if I have come across a little on the hostile side. It was late and I had been working on my drupal site for 12 hours. I was pooped and frustrated. So you can probably tell.

Anyway, I just looked at my message and found I wrote out drupal 2.7. I meant to say it was drupal 4.7. See, I'm tellin' ya I was pooped!

Since I'm not a developer... still haven't found a solution... wish I could.

Kudos to all you developers for contributing your time and energy to make this wonderful customizable cms. drupal 4.7 is the best yet!

This *is* a feature request, IMHO. Also 'requests' like Please fix this problem won't quite wash - please:

discuss your ideas on how you would like it to work
provide some mockups of flow, layout for relevant tables, pages etc
if you're a developer, throw together some ideas/code/patches for review

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Here's as simple an answer I can give...

The default input format should be more than one.
The default input format should be based on roles.
ie; admin's default is the format which allows everything
ie; anonymous users default should be plain text with a Line break converter.

Reason for change is to have a default input format for individual roles so folks don't have to be changing the input format each time they generate a document.

Hope this request is clearer...
