This plugin allows you to set the default content type (gallery, link, poll or event) when starting a new topic. This will automatically select the corresponding editor toolbar icon for the content type and makes it easier for users to start a topic.
The type querystring parameter is passed in the Create New Topic URL:
http://example.com/new-content/XXXX?type=event
where the value can be gallery, link, poll or event.
In the example URL above, the Create New Topic page will automatically select the Event icon in the editor. Based on the configuration of the mod, the other icons (Camera, Link, Poll) may be hidden or not.
Use Cases:
This mod doesn't require editing existing vB templates so there's nothing to worry about template merge conflicts during upgrades.
