On the Connections : Add Entry page, in the Publish panel.

Currently you can set the default entry type, ie individual, family, etc.

Would it be possible to set a default visibility, ie public,private or unlisted?

Currently defaults to public. Where in code could I change the default if I wanted to?

This can be done by using a filter.

Install the Code Snippets plugin and add a new snippet with the following code.

function cn_default_entry_type( $atts ) {

    $atts['default']['type'] = 'organization';
    $atts['default']['visibility'] = 'private'; 

    return $atts;
}

add_filter( 'cn_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_default_entry_type', 11 );

This snippet would change the default entry type to an Organization with a visibility default of Private. To default to a family, you would change organization to family in the code. The valid options for Visibility are public, private or unlisted. This will only affect the entry level visibility, not the data level (ie. address, phone and such).

Hope that helps!

Already have plugin that does same, added code and works great. Thanks!

Since the “type” can already be changed, I assume I can just remove that line?

Also have question about data level visibility.

Does the entry level override the data levels when it comes to displaying the info?

I have a church directory and have all entry levels setup to private so as to require someone to log into the website to access the directory. When someone not logged in, ie public access, they cannot see any directory data even if they managed to display the directory page.

Do you have documentation that explains that in more detail?

Yep.

Here’s the documentation on adding an entry. If you have any feedback, please feel free to let me know. I am alway looking to improve it.

Thanks Steven for everything. I enjoy working with the plugin.

Hi Steven. Per your comment, “This will only affect the entry level visibility, not the data level (ie. address, phone and such).” — can those be changed as well?

Ideally, I’d want all data options on the entry screen to default to Work Address, Work Phone, Work Email, etc.

Fingers crossed…

p.s. Thanks for the great product!
