User creation with PHP : disable sending email

Question

I'm using the User Class to create new users. Here are my fields :

$udata = array(
                "name"=>$data['name'],
                "username"=>$data['user'],
                "password"=>$data['pass'],
                "email"=>$data['email'],
                "block"=>0,
                "groups"=>array("1","2"),
                "params"=>array(
                    "admin_style" => "",
                    "admin_language" => "",
                    "language" => 'fr-FR',
                    "editor" => "",
                    "helpsite" => "",
                    "timezone" => ""

                ),
                "requireReset"=>1,
                "sendEmail"=>0,
            );

I put sendEmail to 0 but the email is still sent. Is there an other way to disable this function?

Thanks for your anwser !

Answer 1

The sendEmail property relates to whether or not the user should receive system emails, rather than whether or not a confirmation email should be sent upon user creation.

I had a quick look through the code and the confirmation email seems to be sent from the User - Joomla! plugin, in the onUserAfterSave function. There it checks the param mail_to_user before deciding whether to send or not.

This parameter is set within the options for the User - Joomla! plugin. Click on Plugins, and then on the User - Joomla! plugin and set Notification Mail to User to No
