Disable Order notification emails

Hi there,

Can anyone advise if it's possible to selectively disable certain emails?

I want to disable any emails which relate to orders (ie. order notification, dispatch, update, cancellation etc), while leaving new account, password and everything else switched on.

Is this something that can be done without a hack?

If not can anyone advise the cleanest way to do it, without overwriting core files if possible! Or even just point me in the direction of which files to look at.

Cheers,
Dave

Depends on the "why" behind your question.

Re: Disable Order notification emails

Thanks for the reply DrByte.

We currently use an inventory management system that also handles all the emails, and for various reasons we'd like to continue using it for order related emails.

It won't deal with account related stuff though, it will only handle order notification, dispatch, refund and so on.

Thanks,
Dave

Re: Disable Order notification emails

Find all references to zen_mail( in the code, and comment-out those sections where you don't want it to send those particular emails.

You'll need to repeat this step whenever you do an upgrade.
