Email notification

[anmldr]

I would like to turn off all automatic email notifications to customers but continue to receive them myself. If I set configuration/email options/Send e-mails to false, does this turn of emails to admin as well? If it does, is there a way to turn on emails to myself and not to customers?

TIA,
Linda

Is there a business reason why?

[anmldr]

Yes. This is a tiny store. I don't want a canned response to all customers. Instead, I communicate with them myself without giving them a "one response for all" email.

Okay. Try this trick:

Create a new file on your server: /includes/extra_configures/emails_to_skip.php
Put only the following code in it:

<?php define('EMAIL_MODULES_TO_SKIP', 'welcome','checkout','order_status');

And if you can't remember to check the box in the admin to skip sending order-status-update emails when updating the order's status, then copy the same file to your /admin/includes/extra_configures/ folder as well.

I have never written a php statement myself but this appears to be incomplete.

<?php define('EMAIL_MODULES_TO_SKIP', 'welcome','checkout','order_status');

Does it need anything to close the statement like a ">"?

Thanks,

Thanks for your follow-up.

Just trying to learn and I appreciate your help very much.

I added the file with this content (only)

<?php define('EMAIL_MODULES_TO_SKIP', 'welcome','checkout','order_status');

with the name of emails_to_skip.php to the 2 directories:
/includes/extra_configures/
/admin/includes/extra_configures/

I am still getting welcome emails when I sign up as a new customer.

Did I not follow your instructions correctly?

Hmmm ... puzzling ...

[anmldr]

Both the welcome and the order_status emails are still being sent to the customer. The checkout email is not being sent to the customer. So, 2 of the 3 emails are being sent.
