post to social network to have default value

Please check the solution in http://drupal.org/node/358363

You can hide the chechbox via CSS (css_injector module), or implement a hook_form_alter to turn the checkbox into a hidden element.

http://api.drupal.org/

I would like a more technical solution (which dosnt mean installing another module such as prepopulate), after looking through the code in user_relationships_node_access.module I found that on line 189 it specifies:

$defaults = isset($permissions[$action]) ? $permissions[$action] : array();

So i infer from this that it checks for existing permissions and sets that to populate the checkboxes, and if no existing permissions are set then it uses an empty array.

My question is... what key value notation would you add to the array to set a particular checkbox such as 'global' permission. I though it may be something like:

$defaults = isset($permissions[$action]) ? $permissions[$action] : array('gid'=>'GENERAL_PUBLIC');

but this does not seem to do it.

Any pointers on this?

thanks

Hello,

I'd like to know how to set the default value. I've tried 3 different methods using hook_form_alter, hook_FORMID_alter, and Rules Form and it is not working for me. Currently I have for

1. Using hook_form_alter

function MYMODULENAME_hook_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
   if ($form_id == 'NODETYPE_node_form') { 
	  $form['user_relationship_node_access']['view'][1]['#default_value'] = TRUE;
	 }
}

2. Using hook_FORMID_alter

function MYMODULENAME_hook_form_NODETYPE_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {

	  $form['user_relationship_node_access']['view'][1]['#default_value'] = TRUE;
}

3. Using Rules Form

   --SET default value when NODETYPE_node_form is being built for the element
       user_relationship_node_access['view'][1] 
   --Default value set to: TRUE (or 1).

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,

KH

Did you guys ever find a solution to setting the checkboxes checked by default which not involves setting up the prepopulate module?

/*** EDITED ***/
Found the ugly solution myself by adding default values in the URNA module array('1' => '1') instead of the empty array

Still would like to know how to alter this in a theme or own module
