plugin settings not carrying over to new sites

I started a multisite blog for a blogging competition and im having some issues. I have implemented some plugins and they are network activated but the settings are not carrying over once to a new site once a new user creates a blog . For example facebook comments needs an id number from a facebook application when a new user creates a blog they get an error message for facebook comments because the id number is not carried over to the new sites plugin settings.

Are there any plugins or hacks that can carry over all plugin settings to a new site. I found wpdev’s default template but it costs money and this is a grassroots type of operation.

Thanks in Advance for any info
