How to override this function?

1. Hi Guys,

   I'm looking for some way to hook/override this function:

   function install_blog_defaults($blog_id, $user_id) { ... }

   I want to hook/override this function, because I want to disable the "Hello World!" post and comment that are automatically created as soon as a new blog is created. I know that this function is responsible for:
   - Create the default links;
   - Create the first post (Hello World!);
   - Create the first comment.

   I don't want to change this function directly (I mean, edit or put comments in wpmu-functions.php), because I want to be able to update the WordPress without care about any hard code.

   Thank you guys!

2. With wp ms 3.0, It is very easy.
   You will need to override
   "wp_install_defaults" not the "install_blog_defaults"

   To override, copy this function "wp_install_defaults" from wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php and put it in a plugin file.Do not change the name, but you can manipulate the content as you want.

   Activate the plugin sitewide and you are done.
   Hope that helps.

3. Hi Brajesh,

   Firstly, thank you for your help.

   Currently, I'm running WordPress 2.9.2 and unfortunately I can't upgrade the WordPress now.

   I tried to override the function "wp_install_defaults", following your instructions, but it didn't work. I didn't get any error, but the WordPress still posting automatically the "hello world" post and comment.

   I also tried to override the function "install_blog_defaults", but if I copy this function and put it in a plugin file, then I get a blank screen.

   Do you know another way to disable the "hello word" post and comment without change the original WordPress source code?

   Thank you.
