Overview

Defaults Overrides provides a GUI interface to select 'new' defaults to use instead of those provided by the module.

Suppose you are using a module like Total Control which provides several default views for looking at the content on your site. These views are necessarily very generalized. You probably want to customize the view to your site. You can override the view in the database but you can never export that to code and have it used.

This module allows you to tell drupal: "hey, whenever you were going to use that view, use this one instead." This will allow you to capture these to code and have your changes be stable.

Supported Defaults

  • views
  • pages (page manager) in progress

Roadmap

Default Overrides is a new module and I have a lot of work planned.

  • Add page manager support - proof of concept done
  • Fix indexes on table
  • Make the system pluggable
  • Features support

Any suggestions/comments/patches welcome!
