About this plugin

This is a fork (with kind permission) of Databay’s original NewsSettings plugin.

The plugin does two things:

1. It can change the default notification settings for new courses and/or groups to always have the Timeline activated (while the orignal Plugin activates the News Block and can do so for categories, too).

2. The chosen settings can be applied to existing courses and/or groups in specific category trees (via given ref-id).
