Disable default Email notifications

[thecoalman]

Open includes/functions_user.php and on line 372 comment out or delete these lines.

Code: Select all

	if ($notifications_data === null)
	{
		$notifications_data = array(
			array(
				'item_type'	=> 'notification.type.post',
				'method'	=> 'notification.method.email',
			),
			array(
				'item_type'	=> 'notification.type.topic',
				'method'	=> 'notification.method.email',
			),
		);
	}

Optionally you create two boolean custom profile fields. One for topic notifications and one for PM's, field identification should be topic_notify and pm_notify. "Publicly display profile field:" set to no, Under visibility options only check "Display on registration screen:" and "Hide profile field:". The rest should be self explanatory.

Instead of commenting/deleting the lines above replace with:

Code: Select all

	// Use default notifications settings if notifications_data is not set
	// Mod - Custom fields available on registration to set email notification preferences
	if ($notifications_data === null)
	{
		$notifications_data = array();
		if (isset($cp_data['pf_topic_notify']) && $cp_data['pf_topic_notify'] == 1 )
		{
			$notifications_data[] = array(
				'item_type'	=> 'notification.type.post',
				'method'	=> 'notification.method.email',
			);
			$notifications_data[] = array(
				'item_type'	=> 'notification.type.topic',
				'method'	=> 'notification.method.email',
			);
		}

		if (isset($cp_data['pf_pm_notify'])  && $cp_data['pf_pm_notify'] == 1)
		{
			$notifications_data[] = array(
				'item_type'	=> 'notification.type.pm',
				'method'	=> 'notification.method.email',
			);
		}
	}

The profile fields do not do anything past registration and can be safely deleted at any time in the future if you no longer need them for registration,
