    Any way to have default System Setting populated with option I use all the time?

    Exp: SMTP, Admin Theme, Email Name, e.t.c

    When you say default, do you mean on installation of the package you want those same settings for every installation? One way I could suggest, as below. Although this seems involved, it may be quicker simply setting the options you need every time through the application. Anyway the process as I see it is:

    (1) Make a basic installation without any forms etc.

    (2) Get it working correctly then change (a) the Admin theme, (b) the Email address of the admin user (c) the SMTP detail and (d) other desired settings

    (3) Export the database to a *.sql using phpMyAdmin or similar.

    (4) for each future installation of the application, once it is set up in its installed default format, import the *.sql file into the new installation database - this should then apply your settings from the previous installation.

    (5) Use that SQL file for every subsequent installation.

    I don't know of an easier way, but the above should work.

    Your right, this is way more involved, used to be able to do it in the config file. Thanks for the answer
