Nice hack. But can I use this for a member group ?

this is just great...!

[Andreas]

To avoid the private.php edit:

private_complete

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'newpm')
{
    $checked['savecopy'] = ($vbulletin->userinfo['advpmoptions_savecopy'] ? 'checked="checked"' : '');
    $checked['receipt'] = ($vbulletin->userinfo['advpmoptions_receipt'] : 'checked="checked"');
    $checked['deleteoriginal'] = ($vbulletin->userinfo['advpmoptions_deleteoriginal'] : 'checked="checked"' : '');
    
} 

Also, doesn't this cause problems when you change the default selection and hit preview?

Wow impressive!

Nope, my code does not. Thank for the codemod->plugin advice.

You're right, the call is only done for a blank PM - which means tha my code is wrong
Must also check for !defined('PMPREVIEW')
