Tempoarily stop notification emails

I am switching to Membership Pro and have imported a user list from my previous program.

When I try to update various fields in the user database, Membership Pro is sending change notifications to the users -- which is confusing the heck out of them and creating unnecessary email traffic that I have to respond to.

How can I temporarily turn these notifications off until I have finished all of my edits, etc.?

Hi
You can try this:
In backend, go to System -> Global Configuration, then go to tab "Server" and under the emailsettings set "Send emails" to No.
When your done with your work, set the email setting back to "Yes"

Hopfully this will stop all those emails temporarily.

Note: I'm just a ordinary user and not involved in any way with the OSsolution staff.

The solution suggested by Stephen should work. There is another way, go to Membership Pro -> Emails & Messages, find the subject of the email message which will be sent (I think it is Subscription approved subject), empty it, then that email won't be sent anymore

Basically, in Membership Pro, you can disable any email from being sent by empty the email subject

One it is done, you can restore that subject which you removed

This would be great in a future version, if at the side of each subject type in the raft of email & messages, if rather than removing the actual message(s), toggle button(s) can be introduced and whilst the msgs actually stay in situ, they are simply disabled by the toggle and thus don't get sent, until such a time you want to toggle back to said message being re-enabled.

By not actually manually removing them and especially when you may have many plans etc, it would mean not having to cut/copy & paste the email & messages back and forth... there would be nothing worse, than crafting especially awesome looking html style messages, then lose the code during the process.

Just a thought for the future.

Thanks for suggestion @PhoenixUK. That is easy to implement and I can consider adding support for it in next release

Is it possible to turn off notifications for specific events? I have had to manually add registrants to an event who were collected outside the component but when I added them to the event they got notified and confused.

Hi Christina

Unfortunately, we don't support this option. You can edit code to disable send email when adding new registrants from administrator area of your site

1. Open the file administrator/components/com_eventbooking/model/common/registrant.php

2. Find these lines of code and remove it (line 376 to 380 in latest version)

if ($row->number_registrants == 1)
{
EventbookingHelper::loadLanguage();
EventbookingHelper::sendEmails($row, $config);
}
