Hello,

I think faq content types shouldn't be promoted to front page by default. I can't see any reason for this, and this is the first think I remove after setting up the faq, or the first thing I have to fix, once I realize i've created 20 faq items that are on the front page.

Added to the latest dev version. It will only be set when the module is first installed.

thanks,

what do you mean when the module be first installed? so it will remain defaulted to promoted to front page unless someone changes it?

Yes, you can override this setting for all new faq nodes created at admin/content/types/faq. So the faq module will now have that option disabled by default, but an administrator can override the default setting by editing the content type.

Cheers,
Stella

Hi, I recently installed the 6.x-1.12 module, and found the same problem - that by default new faq nodes have 'Promoted to front page' enabled.

By the time I noticed it, the first few faq nodes I'd created had gone out in the RSS feed and to email subscribers. Ouch!

I'd like to see it disabled by default.

Regards, David

PS Apart from this hiccup, it's a very useful module for me. Thank you!

That seems to be a common Drupal trait that whenever new content types are created they have default settings of "Published" and "Promoted to front page". I don't know if there is a settings page to change that. Otherwise, it would be helpful if the module changed this for the faq content type. Of course once the content type is edited and the setting changed it does stick.

This was a simple patch to change the variable being set in the faq.install. Variable was changed from 'node_type_faq' to 'node_options_faq'.
