@robin

This worked for me

Mage::app()->getStore()->setConfig(Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, "0");
				Mage::app()->getStore()->setConfig(Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_IDENTITY, "0");

in a custom customer.php file we have. Worked for my english store, but not in my french store. ;P

@robin

sure you can…
try to trace the code in the class:

Mage_Customer_Model_Customer

and trace which XML_PATH you need

Can I disable the welcome e-mail?
I have a silent account creation so customers don’t need to register explicitly, but an account is made so they can check their order status.
They receive 3 e-mails when placing an order: welcome email, separate password email and confirmation email

Can I disable the Order Confirmation email only ?

Customers receive 3 auto emails.

Order confirmation, order complete & Order shipped.

latter are processed at the same time and are redundant.

Thanks -

Hi,

thanks for sharing this tip, but I havea slightly different problem and maybe you can help.

When I’m enabling the ordermail system-> configuration -> Sales Email -> Order
both the customer and the admin get the same email.

But I just want the admin to get the email because theres another backend sending the emails to the customer.

Do you have an idea?

Interestingly this doesn’t seem to work with the newsletter subscription. The email is still sent.

Mage::app()->getStore()->setConfig(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::XML_PATH_EMAIL_ENABLED, "0");
Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe('example@example.com');

This is on CE 1.4.

@Jonathan
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.

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