Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Forced Preferences

[Daryl L. L. Houston]

I'm all set up now.  I redownloaded src from 9.16, making sure I wasn't 
accidentally just grabbing HEAD code.  To add forced prefs to projects, I 
then did the following:

1. I created /projects/inc/hook_settings.inc.php and added code to generate 
the form controls that govern the preference settings.  This is covered in 
the wiki.

2. In /projects/inc/hook_preferences.inc.php, I changed the Preferences link 
from the old one to /preferences/preferences.php?appname=projects.

3. In /projects/setup/setup.inc.php, I made sure I had added "settings" as an 
element in the $setup_info['projects']['hooks'] array.

4. I then ran the "Find and Register All Application Hooks" utility in the 
admin tool.

Voila, it all worked as desired.  Thanks again for providing tips.  As for 
folding my code back into the source, I've made a note of the routine and 
will be sure to follow it.
