    Hello!
    I have found a small problem... When I create new document or folder, the checkbox "Show in menu" is checked by default. HOW TO UNCHECK IT BY DEFAULT? I didn’t find this option in settings, so I think it only can be fixed in code, but where to find it?

      It will be somewhere in manager/actions/mutate_content.dynamic.php

        No... In mutate_content.dynamic.php I just found this:

        <input name="hidemenucheck" type="checkbox" <?php echo $content['hidemenu']!=1 ? 'checked="checked"':''; ?> onClick="changestate(document.mutate.hidemenu);"><input type="hidden" name="hidemenu" value="<?php echo ($content['hidemenu']==1) ? 1 : 0 ;?>" />


        Pay attention to this piece of code:

        <?php echo $content['hidemenu']!=1 ? 'checked="checked"':''; ?>


        This code reads 1 or 0 from somewhere, and then checks or unchecks checkbox. But I don’t know anything about php and sql... So, please help to find where from this code reads checkbox-setting...

          Yes, and change that to:
          <?php echo (isset($content['hidemenu']) && $content['hidemenu']!=1) ? 'checked="checked"': (!isset($content['hidemenu']) ? 'checked="checked"' : '' ) ; ?>

          Just needs an extra conditional in there to set the default wink

                I’m not sure, but when looking at the code it seems like both options will make the same outcome.

                Try change 
                <?php echo (isset($content['hidemenu']) && $content['hidemenu']!=1) ? 'checked="checked"': (!isset($content['hidemenu']) ? 'checked="checked"' : '' ) ; ?>

                to
                <?php echo (isset($content['hidemenu']) && $content['hidemenu']!=1) ? 'checked="checked"': (!isset($content['hidemenu']) ? '' : 'checked="checked"' ) ; ?>


                Warning, I’m a newbie, could be totally wrong!

                EDIT: First version was wrong, I’ve changed it now. The code suggested above now works for me.

                EDIT #2. No, wrong again, it unchecks it default, but when saving it sets is to checked anyway... I’ll delete this post! Sorry!

                    Guys, this is completely wrong way, because we try to check-off this checkbox in..... mmmmm..... in "interface front-end", whereas it is correctly to change this setting in the core of the engine. Sorry for my bad english, but I hope I said understandably?
