   Hi all

   how can I add default text to a new article..

   i tried this

   add_filter( 'default_content', 'my_editor_content' );
   
   function my_editor_content( $content ) {
   
   	$content = "This is some custom content I'm adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.";
   
   	return $content;

   and this

   function preset_content() {
   global $post;
   
   if ( $post->post_content == '' and $post->post_type == 'post' ) {
   $default_content = 'my preset content text';
   add_post_meta($post->ID, 'my custom field', 'my value', true);
   } else
   {$default_content = $post->post_content;} 
   
   return $default_content;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_editor_content', 'preset_content');

   in wp-includes/function.php

   Hello,

   I used this code and made a plugin specifying a specific post type and it worked perfect. So then I created another plugin and used the same code but designated a different post type and for some reason only one plugin will work at a time... each plugin works independently of the other one but I cannot activate both at the same time or only one of them will work...

   Here is the general code for each...

   Post Type A

   function preset_content_post_type_a() {
   global $post;
   
   if ( $post->post_content == '' and $post->post_type == 'post-type-a' ) {
   $default_content_post_type_a = 'my preset content text for post type a';
   add_post_meta($post->ID, 'my custom field', 'my value', true);
   } else
   {$default_content_a = $post->post_content;} 
   
   return $default_content_a;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_editor_content', 'preset_content_post_type_a');

   And now Post Type B

   function preset_content_post_type_b() {
   global $post;
   
   if ( $post->post_content == '' and $post->post_type == 'post-type-b' ) {
   $default_content_post_type_b = 'my preset content text for post type b';
   add_post_meta($post->ID, 'my custom field', 'my value', true);
   } else
   {$default_content_b = $post->post_content;} 
   
   return $default_content_b;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_editor_content', 'preset_content_post_type_b');

   Can anyone help me understand how to get both working at the same time so that when I create a new post with the custom post type these templates will work?

   I am running 3.1.1

   Thank you very much,
   Tmelbs
