I need disable Email Notifications Permanently

 

sorry for my english...

I need to disable email notifications permanently,eg for internal messages, comments, new entries,etc ... and just leave it enabled to recover passwords, registration form and invite friends ...how do we do?

Recently I saw a plugin that disables the default option for email notifications but only works when a user signs up on the site later if he or she activates the option, the administrator can not disable it, at least not cleanly ...

use: elgg 1.7.15, and the plugin of Cash phpMailer

For example if i have 300 active users and use gmail smtp... 
in less than 4 hours I'll get to daily limit, and users who register or request new password do not come to the email .. = (

do you understand me?

 

  • unregister_notification_handler('email')

     

    I don't know if that will affect password recovery (I would hope not) you may need to test it.

  • Matt is the first thing I did,(I look in the references) not post it because I blocked the mail in general, registration form and request a new password
  • In that case you can hook into the email hook and prevent all non-registration/forgot password emails.

    It's messier and you'll probably have to do something to remove the email option from user settings.

     

    // return TRUE/FALSE to stop elgg_send_email() from sending
    00306     $mail_params = array(
    00307                             'to' => $to,
    00308                             'from' => $from,
    00309                             'subject' => $subject,
    00310                             'body' => $body,
    00311                             'params' => $params
    00312                     );
    00313 
    00314     $result = elgg_trigger_plugin_hook('email', 'system', $mail_params, NULL);
    00315     if ($result !== NULL) {
    00316         return $result;
    00317     }

  • I think I found a quick and simple solution but ignoring usability xD
    I put "site" default in notify_user ... the trouble is that it ignores the user preference but I did not want was to spend on email resources ...
    is what I found most acceptable given my low quality of programming, I hope some day, to know this as you! jejej
