Set default template for children of a ressource

Author: Marc Loehe (boundaryfunctions)

Usage:

  1. Paste this as new plugin and connect it to system event 'OnDocFormRender'.
  2. Assign a new TV 'childDefaultTemplate' to each template, for which you want to define the default children template.
  3. Set the newly created TV to type List Box and its 'Input Option Values' to: @SELECT `templatename` AS `name`,`id` FROM `[[+PREFIX]]site_templates` This will fetch all available templates from the db.
  4. Have fun!
