How to set "Republish Only (Do Not Publish New Content)" as unchecked by default on Publish Options?

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to set "Republish Only (Do Not Publish New Content)" option as un-selected/unchecked by default on the Publish options.

Our users publish bundles and they mostly do not use this option. But, it is selected/checked by default in Tridion on publish whenever a bundle is selected for publish. This induces one extra click and a hassle for the user to remember everytime to unselect this option whenever they want to publish. So, I want to change the default option as not selected for "Republish Only (Do Not Publish New Content)"

Please suggest if there is a way to set this as un-selected by default

Answer 1

The only way would be to create a GUI extension that changes the default.

Alternatively, you could consider automating the publishing of the bundles, if that is applicable to your use cases.

Answer 2

You can try and test following hack

Note: but it will be applicable to complete publishing system not just bundles, so if someone publish a structure group for example, it will publish all pages under it irrespective of its publishing status (in-progress-saved pages as well) so its your/client decision whether you want to use it or not

in your installation system go to Tridion\web\WebUI\Editors\CME\Views\Popups\Publish and open publish.ascx and remove checked="checked" from line no 116 as shown below. don't forget to clear your browser cache.
