How to disable email sending when programatically creating an order in Magento
2 Comments 23rd JUL 2010 | Posted by Vedran Subotic in Magento
Here is a little snippet of code that can come in handy if you are like me handling a task of programatically creating an order in Magento. My issue was that I had to disable emails beeing sent out to the customers, while at the same time leave the normal frontend process. Thus I could not just go under Magento admin System > Congifuration and disable email sending from there.
Here is the sample line code you just need to place above final $order->save() or possibly $checkout->saveOrder():
Mage::app()->getStore()->setConfig(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::XML_PATH_EMAIL_ENABLED, "0");

nice. I assume it needs to be turned back on again after saving the order?

Config is not saved so you don’t need to turn anything back. This code is merely used to overide saved config value at the moment you need it.
