Hi  dflasse,
For disabling confirmation email  you just need to change the configuration of  the event.
Go to Manage Event->Online Registration & disable the send confirmation email .

Hi,

On the back office, you can disable on a registration per registration basis, but that's on by default.


in CRM/Event/Form/EventFees.

replace 1 by 0    $defaults[$form->_pId]['send_receipt'] = 1; 


Might be good to have an config variable "CIVIEVENT_SENDCONFIRMATION_DEFAULT (0 or 1)".


@civicore, what do you think? As an option in the civicrm.settings?

I disabled the "send email" behaviour for backend entries, using a hook in a custom module:

function my_module_civicrm_buildForm( $formName, &$form ) {
  if ( $formName == 'CRM_Event_Form_Participant' ) {
     // don't ever, ever, ever send out confirmation emails when administering events.
    $form->assign('email', '');
    $form->assign('batchEmail', '');
  }
}

This does not prevent sending emails when using the bulk "update registration status" operation.  Here, if canceling registrations, CiviCRM still sends out emails automatically with no way to stop it.

I strongly support the suggestion to turn off participant emails altogether.  In many cases I can imagine, organizations I work with don't want backend operations to notify constituents in any way.
