Switching off auto-confirmation emails in CiviEvent

[ruchik]

Hi,

When you add a new Event Registration, under Registration Confirmation and Receipt, the check box to 'Automatically email a confirmation and receipt' is checked by default (please see attached screenshot). Is there a way to have default as unchecked as the end users prefer to send out personal receipts and have to remember to uncheck this box every time you add a new attendee.

Thank you!

You can write a buildForm hook to unset the default value of the 'Send Receipt' checkbox.

Please refer http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Hook+Reference for more details.
