Hello Susanne,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Unfortunately there is not possible setting to disabled the subscription confirmation email to the subscriber. You can however go to your /components/com_easyblog/models/subscription.php and remove the code below:

if( $state )

			{

				// lets send confirmation email to subscriber.

				$helper 	= EasyBlogHelper::getHelper( 'Subscription' );

				$template 	= $helper->getTemplate();



				$template->uid 			= $subscription->id;

				$template->utype 		= 'sitesubscription';

				$template->user_id 		= $subscription->user_id;

				$template->uemail 		= $email;

				$template->ufullname 	= $fullname;

				$template->ucreated 	= $subscription->created;

				$template->targetname 	= $config->get('main_title');

				$template->targetlink	= EasyBlogRouter::getRoutedURL('index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=latest', false, true );	



				$helper->addMailQueue( $template );

			}

Hope these help

Thank you very much, that worked!

Another question; if the receiver of the emails want to unsubscribe, is there a way to get an Unsubscribe link at the bottom of each "There is a new blog post"-email? Or where can they find the option to unsubscribe?

Hello Susanne,

There is a link to unsubscribe the blog from the subscription email at the bottom of the email itself. If you want to change the position of the link, you can modify it manually from your /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/email.template.html.php . Hope these help

In the initial email saying they have subscribed to the blog, or in each blog update email? I don't have it in the latter (see attached). How do I get the unsub-link to appear in this email?

Hello Susanne,

Can you provide us with your joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on the issue directly?

Sure! Here they are

Hi Susanne,

I am sorry for the late reply.
Can I have your permission to create a blogpost to test the subscriber notification on your site? We need this permission in order to replicate this issue on your site.

Please advise.

You mean a test blog post that sends out an email to our subscribers? No, that would not look good for us. We cannot have an email go out to our subbers that just says 'test'.

Maybe you can make a copy of the site, wipe the emails and just add one new email, your own?

I see now that in 2013 there used to be an unsubscribe link, see attached. A bit invisible and to the right, but it was there.

Hello Susanne,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

I've checked your email template and easyblog components file and it seems like everything is in correct order and nothing unusual that I can see. I also checked your email activities from your easyblog backend and the email did have the unsubscribe link at the bottom, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-22_1736.png .

Perhaps I'm missing something here? Also may I know is the email that you are using is actually subscribe to your blog or that email is used as Admin email?

Please advise.

Hello Ezrul,

The email that didn't get the unsub-link is just a test user, ie not an admin. It is a gmail-address, could that have something to do with it? I know gmail is not good with some newsletters for example.

Hello Susanne,

I've disabled all the notification from the backend > easysblog > settings > notification > blog, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-22_1920.png except the category subscription category and then I created a new category "subscriber test" and then use my gmail to subscribe to that category. After that I created a new blog post in that category so that only me will get the notification email. From the email, the unsubscribe link is actually appear at the bottom of my mail. Check my screenshot below.

You can test it by yourself by subscribing to the category "subscriber test" and post a new blog post. You can access the category page by going to http://yoursite.com/index.php/hem/categories . Remember to disabled the notification settings as I mentioned above in order to test it.

Hello Ezrul,

That is strange that that worked.. Today we published another blog post, and once again there was no unsubscribe link. Perhaps it would it be needed to make a new category and move our users into that?

Hello Susanne,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

I've checked all of the easyblog email activity from your site and it seems like some of it contains the unsubscribe link while some does not. I've checked from the code that the unsubscribe link will only appear on the email that already subscribe to your site. However it seems like you also enabling email notification for all user that registered on your site, regardless whether they subscribe or not. http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-28_1028.png . Hence they will received the email notification but without the unsubscribe link since most of them are not subscribed to your site.

Hope these can clear the confusion that you are facing right now

Ok thanks! So if I turn off the 'notification to all members', members in this case being 'registered users', then the notifications sent should have the Unsubscribe-link? Great, I'll try that then!
