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

PHP Code:

$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = ''; 


add your userid. if its '1' then it will resemble this

PHP Code:

$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

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