Title: Cannot change default source code when opening new console application
Post by: sonicstrav on June 20, 2010, 04:05:13 pm

This comes up all the time:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
    return 0;
}

I've changed the code under Setting>Editor>Default Code>C/C++ Source file and saved it but with a new project selecting a console app the same old 'Hello World!' stuff comes up again

How can I change the default code for this?

File -> New -> Project -> right click on the template you want to modify -> Edit script....

The place for the template depends on your OS, but it seems you believe we hav the second sight.

Failed for me, also. Looks like Windows 7 security redesign type issue. I am using Windows 6.1 32 bit AKA Windows 7.
Looks like it was user error on my part; it works but not like I think it should; I never found a way to edit the c/cpp source code file thou the GUI.


The folder containing source code file to be edited on my machine:

 

My best guess on the files to edit are:
console.cbp
console.template
console-main-c.cpp
console-main-cpp.cpp

Destination under Windows 7 of modified files should be
(The folder is create/updated when the GUI is used to edit the script)

Code

%APPDATA%\codeblocks\share\codeblocks\templates\wizard\console

I copied the missing files from

Code

%ProgramFiles%\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\templates\wizard\console

The I edited the main.cpp file in the "cpp" folder. I then started Code::Blocks and it worked for me.

Hello there,

I came to this topic because it is the most related with my problem. I also want to have a default code, so that i don't have to write every time #include... and using namespace std or ifstream fin(" .in/out"); .I don't know where I am doing wrong. I always start with ctrl shift n, a  empty file, and not project like many others. When I start a new file nothing appears, neither the Hello world thing, and I want to appear my default code. I know about the default code in Setting Editor Default code, but none of what I've written in there seems to appear ANYWHERE. What should I do?

Thank you in advance.

What should I do?

Use "File -> New -> File... -> C/C++ source".
"CTRL+SHIFT+N" creates an empty file with no type.
The default code settings you have edited are either for C/C++ sources or headers.
