[horde] defaults

[Craig White]

I have found myself tucking a lot of stuff into various
horde/config/prefs.php and horde/..app../config/prefs.php and was
thinking that it would be nice if you could login as say _default_user_
and change that users preferences and have all horde applications use
the _default_user_ preferences when the actual user hasn't overridden
them.

For example, I wanted to create a lot of categories and category_colors
- both of which are set in horde/config/prefs.php

consequently, I've now got...

// categories
$_prefs['categories'] = array(
    'value' => 'Appointment - In Office|Appointment - Out of Office|
Company Event|Personal Event|Personal Task|Task - Administrative Group|
Task - IT Group|Task - Sales Group|Training|Vacation Schedule|Vendor
meeting|Holiday',
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => true,
    'type' => 'implicit'
);

// category colors
$_prefs['category_colors'] = array(
    'value' => '1:Appointment - Out of Office|2:Company Event|3:Holiday|
4:Personal Event|5:Personal Task|6:Task - Administrative Group|7:Task -
IT Group|8:Task - Sales Group|9:Training|10:Vacation Schedule|11:Vendor

_unfiled_:#DDDDDD',
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => true,
    'type' => 'implicit'
);

in these 2 'fields' and users are picking them up fine - but I could
never teach someone else how to do this - thus isn't maintainable by an
'Office Manager' type.

Unless there is a better way that I have yet to discover, I would love
to suggest a _default_user_ account - perhaps requires an Administrator
authentication, no email access, just creates settings for other users
to use as defaults - which of course would leave your various prefs.php
unharmed by my sloppy edits  ;-)

Thanks
