Issue Summary
Hello - great module!
How do you think about an option that let have Users there own taxonomy defaults?
Best regards, Ralf

Highly unlikely, unless I see many more requests - that's a lot of extra logic.
I am kind of curious what your use case is, though. What do you need per-user defaults for?

Hi,
my idea is that anybody, who uses a special vocab, could set his own default term.
When that user adds content, his default term is selected.
I would use it as a kind of "og-lite":
Members of different organisations should tag their content with their own organisation-tag. I want to avoid having to administer overwhelming term-access in that "liteweight-application", where is no danger of abuse and users are willing...
Best Regards,
Ralf

Unless I'm misunderstanding your use case, this seems like something that could be implemented with existing modules - OG, or profile + views, and that would create some unwieldy special-case interface in the taxonomy_defaults module.
So this is definitely a no go.

ok!

Has this been developed since or does anyone have a workaround to achieve the same result?
My use case for this is that I want to allow certain users, who organise events, permission to create events for a calendar - but my calendar has an 'event organiser' taxonomy and I would like to prevent them from accidentally or deliberately creating events supposedly organised by someone else.
My idea was to set their default taxonomy to the correct event organiser and then to hide the taxonomy field from the user.
I couldn't achieve this easily at a views level without the taxonomy because there could be multiple users for some of the event organisers (and most events will be added by administrators anyway).

@ITMonkey -- I'm guessing you can do this using Profile_Taxonomy (although I've never used it) instead of Taxonomy_Defaults. If you add your organizer vocabulary to user profiles instead of event nodes, then you can use Views to filter events by the author's terms. And since you note that _most_ events will be added by administrators, then you'd want to create dummy users for each organizer and have your administrators change the author. Does that make sense? I'm speculating a little, since I've never used Profile_Taxonomy module.
