Forum post delay setting only sticks after you clicked "Save"

[Kristina Hoeppner]

When you have a fresh install of Mahara (tested it on a 1.5 and a master), the forum post delay setting which defaults to 30 minutes is not taken into consideration when you post a forum message.

Only when you go into the plugin itself /admin/extensions/pluginconfig.php?plugintype=interaction&pluginname=forum and click "Save" will it be used.

[Robert Lyon (robertl-9)]

Looks as though the variable is not getting set in the database on install - it was getting set if you upgraded from a site before 2009-08-17

Really need to have the setting of db value as a post install option in core_install_lastcoredata_defaults() [or similar] like how the flexible layouts changes (view_layout) are done.

[Aaron Wells (u-aaronw)]

So currently, as Robert mentioned, it doesn't *actually* set the interaction_forum/postdelay config setting at installation time. Confusingly, when you go to the config page for interaction_forum, though, if that config setting isn't set, it pre-fills the field with "30" which makes it look like it's set.

So in addition to *actually* setting the config to 30 at installation time, we should also change that form so that it *always* shows what the value really is.

Be honest about the forum post delay's current value

Bug 996337: We always treat it as an integer, so it makes the most sense
to just show the user this config's integer value.
