Re: set default Role of new user
Yep. You’re right gogoplata. It just ignores it. I set default_role to contributor and new user gets ‘no role’. Looked in mu Trac and the mu forums. Lots of confusion and noise over this issue. You’d think it would be simple, direct and unconfused by now. It isn’t.
I see devs posting patches and reports in trac and donncha replying something to the effect of:
‘this is a patch to patch the patch for a bug in rXXXXX so that the bug patch can be fixed on fix #XXX on patch of the fix for #XXX’
I’m just walking away from this one and if I had to care about this myself I’d do things your way.
