Configuration Directive: DefaultEntryPrefs Help please

Markdown! Forget the url. Post should be thus

Can anyone help on the correct use of the DefaultEntryPrefs [configuration directive][1] please?

I have this

DefaultEntryPrefs Button=Both Type=Custom
DefaultEntryPrefs Excerpt=0
DefaultEntryPrefs Keywords=0
DefaultEntryPrefs Category=1
DefaultEntryPrefs ExtendedEntry=0
DefaultEntryPrefs Tags=0
DefaultEntryPrefs TextFormatting=1
DefaultEntryPrefs AllowComments=0
DefaultEntryPrefs AllowTrackBacks=0
DefaultEntryPrefs Date=1
DefaultEntryPrefs Basename=1
DefaultEntryPrefs TrackBackURLs=0
Which should give me:

save/preview buttons top and bottom
turn off trackback urls, comments, trackbacks, tags, the extended entry, keywords, excerpt.
It doesn't, however, seem to have any effect. Is there some system-level setting that also needs to be set to get this to work?

We really, really need a preview feature for posts and new topics, not just replies.

Bump. Anyone?

First thing to check, I don't think any of the DefaultEntryPrefs options allow for doubling up. Are you sure about that first line with Button and Custom? (And if it's pasted from somewhere, that should probably be corrected.) Given it's the line that says you want custom settings in the first place, it probably follows that if it's messed up everything else would also fail.

If that still doesn't do anything, there was a bug a while back with custom prefs that might not have gotten entirely squashed, and you should probably throw your situation out at the dev list for reproduction and then file a new bug if necessary.

Many thanks Su. I tried the first line without the doubling, in separate lines, but that has no effect either.

I'll now try it on a fresh install, with no plugins, and see if there's something in one of the plugins that's causing this.

Do you think I should post the result of that test here?

Also, thanks for the link to the bugz. Checked that and found the CMS.pm code is the [updated one][1].

CMS.pm appears to be the updated one in MT4.21, that is

Reporting back. Tried on a fresh install. No luck. This thing is broke, I think. Will put in a line at the dev list. Thanks again Su.
