How to change default values on "create new product"-page?

[Ajeh]

You could just flip the switch in the Customization ... Product Info ...

Product Quantity Box Status - Adding New Products
What should the Default Quantity Box Status be set to when adding New Products?

0= off
1= on
NOTE: This will show a Qty Box when ON and default the Add to Cart to 1

Hi Guys,

I have tried editing the file:
C:\wamp\www\admin\includes\modules\product_music\collect_info.php

I changed the default product name to:
$parameters = array('products_name' => 'xxxx',

and I changed the default sort order to 7:
'products_sort_order' => '7'


However, when I try add a new music product in Admin:
'new product' button clicked and select 'Product - Music' , then these modified default values I set are not there?

I also tried editing all the other collect_info.php files but it makes no difference when I try adding a new product, the default values are not changing!

Please help?

There is a file called collect_info.php under /admin/includes/modules/product

At the start of the file an array of all the form values is initialized.

I think you can just add default values there. I added one I needed and it seems to work.

If anyone knows why this is a bad idea let me know by replying to this posting.

I do think that you should be able to do this within the admin menu structure but I cant find this option. If anyone knows how to do it in the admin back-end also let me know.
