How not to receive an email from webshop

[AndersHelbo]

Hi

 

Can someone tell me, how I disable the function, so when a customer chooses to sent a message from the contactform in Prestashop, then it does not appear in my mailbox but only in Prestashop backend?

 

The prestashop version is 1.5.6.2.

Try to go to Customers > Contacts and delete email for every contact.

You cannot get rid of all of them, or people won't be able to contact you, because of this error

1. Please select a subject from the list provided.

Okay, so it is not possible to make a contact form which will only sent the messages to the backend?

Else I have to make another e-mail address and use this, only on the webshop for the contact form and not in Outlook or on any computers that I use? Right!

[NemoPS]

well no, unless you manually edit the ContactCOntroller.php file, you can try using a fake address that nobody uses

If you don't want to receive emails at all, alternatively, you may override Mail::Send() method such as

 

public static function Send($id_lang, $template, $subject, $template_vars, $to,
$to_name = null, $from = null, $from_name = null, $file_attachment = null, $mode_smtp = null,
$template_path = _PS_MAIL_DIR_, $die = false, $id_shop = null, $bcc = null)
{
    return true;
}

Thanks. But where exactly do I insert this code?

[El Patron]

would it not be simpler, rather than making core changes, to simply set up mail rule in say outlook, to put those messages into a folder?

 

this is because you are not 1)  experienced enough to implement an 'untested' solution 2) you would lose change on upgrade 3) there may be repercussions that you will not immediately see.

 

moving topic to development.

 

tip: you may want to consider posting in job offers to implement this.
