How to change Application Type default to "categories"

[Love]

My current Application Type default is "Forum" and I would like to change it to "Category."  Then I won't have to change every single category and subcategory Application Type.   Is this possible?

For example, when I add a new subcategory is defaults to "forum" application type.  I would LOVE it if it would always default each new category and subcategory to "categories" application type.  Currently I am having to change it EVERY single time.

Thanks!

It appears that each application has its own default sub-category. For most applications this is "Forum",  but for some the default is another application of the same type, e.g. "Blog" has a default sub-category of "Blog".

It may be possible to change the default by editing the NAML code, but I'm not expert enough to confirm that.

Thanks Greg!  Looks like I'll be diving into NAML... wish me luck!  : )

Hi,

see at "See how NAML generates this page" -> More options -> Search Macros, and search by the name "sub_app_type".
Edit this macro.
Replace the third line :

<then>forum</then>

with this one:

<then>category</then>

GREAT!  Thanks!
