Removing Email from Vanilla

wodon

Hi,
I have set up Vanilla on an internal network in my office.
Our development network does not have a mail server so I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the email function?
When users sign up they are asked for an email address which they currently have to put in yet it is never used. And whenever Admin is carried out there are mail errors.
Just being able to hide the email address box and make the forum stop trying to send emails to users would be great.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Mark

Removing the input is difficult, but removing the email send functionality is pretty easy. Just comment out lines 154 and 164 of library/Framework/Framework.Class.Email.php:

Change them from this:

$this->SMTPSend($To, $this->Subject, $Message, $Header);

and this:

if (!@mail($To, $this->Subject, $Message, $Header) && $this->FatalError) $this->Context->ErrorManager->AddError($this->Context, $this->Name, "Send", "An error occurred while sending the email.", $php_errormsg);

To this:

// $this->SMTPSend($To, $this->Subject, $Message, $Header);

and this:

// if (!@mail($To, $this->Subject, $Message, $Header) && $this->FatalError) $this->Context->ErrorManager->AddError($this->Context, $this->Name, "Send", "An error occurred while sending the email.", $php_errormsg);
