[rt-users] Homepage display question

[Drew Barnes]

I meant the user had prefs set up before you changed the config file 
option.  AFAIK the config file option only lists what shows is 
available, it doesn't actually remove a pref that is already set 
individually.  Check in the Attributes table with  select * from 
Attributes where Name like '%HomepageSettings';  Those are serialized 
preferences for the RT-at-a-glance pages. 

One should be for RT::System, while any others will be for RT::User and 
an id in the next field.  I believe you can blow those away (after 
backing up your db) to reset their views.

I can't find it at the moment but I believe there was a write-up on the 
wiki for how to reset those prefs for everyone to be what you want.
