Send Email When a Private Message is Received

[AK47-]

How can i disable this for all users?

You'd have to do it in phpmyadmin (database) then you'd need to edit the modifyoptions template and find this
<tr>
<td><br />$vbphrase[can_email_when_sends_you_pm]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="cb_emailonpm"><input type="checkbox" name="options[emailonpm]" value="1" id="cb_emailonpm" $checked[emailonpm] />$vbphrase[receive_email_notification_pm]</label><input type="hidden" name="set_options[emailonpm]" value="1" /></td>
</tr>

and remove it

EDIT: the code above is for vb3 but just look in the same template for similar code and remove it :)

First, add your admin userid to the config file.
open ./includes/config.php

around line 129 you will find
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '';

add your userid. if its '1' then it will resemble this
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1';

save/re-upload the file

Go To
AdminCP->Maintenance->Execute SQL Query->

Select
Yes - Send Notification Email When a Private Message is Received
under All Users

Click "Continue", and then on the next page click "Continue" again to "Confirm Query Execution"

Done.

And so you don't have to keep doing it, set it to do this by default by going to

AdminCP->Settings->Options->User Registration Options->

Check the box in the "Default Registration Options" section that reads
Send Notification Email When a Private Message is Received

Save. Done.

He wants it off, not to send email

[LifesGreatestGift]

then select NO instead of yes. not hard to figure out. ;)

I am having the exact same issue with the email notifications. However, in the
AdminCP->Maintenance->Execute SQL Query->
I get the message that I am not authorized to run sql queries. Will this change allow me to begin to run the queries:
First, add your admin userid to the config file.
open ./includes/config.php

around line 129 you will find
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '';

save/re-upload the file

[kh99]

It should, if your userid is 1.

[clayt101]

It should, if your userid is 1.


It did not work. Any other ideas? Double checked it too.
Thanks.

[snakes1100]

Then either your userid isnt 1 or you failed to over write the previous copy of config.php on the server.

Just to be clear, I set it as:$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = 'clayt101';

[snakes1100]

no, u add ur userid, not username.

[ozzy47]

No, you need to enter your user id # not your username.

[clayt101]

Thanks, it worked.

I was wondering why the person chose "1" as a username example. LOL

[snakes1100]

Thats why they said user ID, not username.
