about security settings of plone control panel

There are lot of configuration options on plone control panel, for example "security settings". I need to pre-set for checking "enable user folders " option, it should be immediately effect when a plone site created.

How do I configure control panel settings from a generic setup profile?

It's often a good idea to create a policy product that'll be installed to initialize your site. In your case, your policy product would only have a GS profile.

To get what you're asking, the easiest way would be to simply, make the change on a vallina plone site, then export the GS settings of your site and then use that in your product.

To export the current settings for your site:

  1. go to the zmi(append /manage onto site url)
  2. go to portal_setup
  3. go to export tab
  4. scroll down and click to export all profiles

You import a changed version of the "controlpanel.xml" GenericSetup file. Some details on the controlpanel.xml file are at http://plone.org/documentation/manual/developer-manual/generic-setup/reference/control-panel, and the general procedure for working with GenericSetup is at http://plone.org/documentation/manual/developer-manual/generic-setup. You also may find http://collective-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/components/genericsetup.html helpful.
