How to set default value of $emailonpmchecked and $emailonpmnotchecked

[vDuf]

I think the initial registration page bombards the registrant with too many options so I hide most of them and supply the default values myself, such as:

<input type="hidden" name="emailonpm" value="no">

The user can later go to Edit Options and change any of these. However I find that when the user goes to his Edit Options page, the non-default value is checked, for example, Email on PM is checked Yes, even though I previously supplied the hidden default value of No.

It appears that $emailonpmchecked is being cantakerous and I would like to change the default value of $emailonpmchecked. How can I do that?

In sum:

I change "emailonpm" to No. I would also like to change the value of "$emailonpmchecked" and "$emailonpmnotchecked". How can this be done.

Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure I understand you, but I'll give you my best shot.

Admin CP --> Template --> Modify --> [expand list]

Open up the following template:
User Option Templates
* modifyoption

Search for '$emailonpmchecked' and you should see what you should do... but just in case you don't, let me know and I'll give you more instructions.
