Messaging or Sending Email
We are currently implementing aTutor in one of our programs. Can we disable or limit sending messages to one another? Can we stop this feature altogether?

Re: Messaging or Sending Email
There isn't a switch to turn off email. It probably would not be difficult to create one though if you have a php programmer handy.
Add a field to a system preferences screen, which saves a value to the config table, which gets copied into the $_config array when aATutor is running. The check for the value of the variable you set somewhere near the top of the top of the mail program
/include/classes/phpmailer/atutormailer.class.php
(or just hack the mail program to disable it) -

Re: Messaging or Sending Email
Did you mean sending the messages using the Inbox? If so, you could try to comment out or delete lines containing word "inbox" in include/lib/menu_pages.php . It's a rough approach but will do what's needed: disable the feature altogether, system-wide.
Or, you could fine-tune the inbox system with a bit of additional programming, as Greg suggests.

Re: Messaging or Sending Email
You can do a little hack in the atutor mailer, and disable the sendmail function by commenting it out.

Re: Messaging or Sending Email
OK - thank you - where do I find that? To clarify, I'm talking about the outbound SMTP email on registration and enrollment and not the user-user messaging/Inbox.

Re: Messaging or Sending Email
The file you are looking for is include/classes/phpmailer/atutormailer.class.php
This atutormailer class is being used in our modules, admins notifications, contact instructors, password reminders, registrations, contact support, send inbox messages, new enrollment, forum threads, etc etc.
There are several ways to disable it, the easiest would be to comment out the "parent::Send();" within this file, so then it will never send out the email request.
Hope this helps.
