How to disable notifications globally/by default

I would like to set all (or most) notifications by email to off by default and for exisiting members (imported data from Dolphin so I need to disable it for everyone already registered). Also if new members sign up the notifications should be turned off by default.

It's not just personal preferences in my case but as well data privacy settings at least in Europe (aka GDPR).

    • Hello trunky !

      It might be done via settings the default value of 'active' column in `bx_notifications_settings2users` table from 1 to 0. Also, you may apply the following query in your UNA DB:

      UPDATE `bx_notifications_settings2users` SET `active`=0;

      But as usual - backup the whole table before any changes there.

      • Mh, but in the bx_notifications_settings2user are set like 4 users which partly 0 and 1 active columns.  I don't see a scheme in that.

        Tried to change my notifications for user id 4, it seems to work well in the front end but in the bx_notifications_settings2user is no change, no entry for user id 4.

        I am not understanding something?

        • This way is only for already registered profiles who visited their notification settings. For all future users, it will require many changes in the code.
