When a user logs in using facebook connect they create an account then an email is sent to users saying "A new user 'Andrew Wright', username 'Lefty-5', has registered at" Would be okay if it came to me but it seems to be going to many users

Mrfisho,
JFBConnect will send the 'new user' notification email to all users that are marked as "Receive System Emails". That's the standard way that Joomla recommends sending those types of emails and we use the same process.

I would check if the user's that have reported receiving the email have the "Receive System Emails" setting enabled in the administrator area, and if so, investigate why. That setting can only be set in the admin area, and should only be set for admin-type users or IT people so that they get notifications from your Joomla site about specific events they may need/want to know about.

If necessary, we can tell you how to disable the new user notification email entirely as well.

Hope that helps,
Alex

We can give you some code to disable the emails in JFBConnect if you'd like. To disable the system notifications for each user, you'd need to either edit them in the User Manager in the admin area and set "Receive System Emails" to "No" for any users that you don't want to receive them or run a SQL query on your server to set all users to 'No'... then, you can use the User Manager to re-enable it for the admin(s) you really want to receive those mails.

Hope that helps, but if you need more instructions on the code changes or other assistance, just let us know. We wouldn't recommend the code change as you'll have to do it after every upgrade and it will also disable the email going to you (the admin). We'd highly recommend disabling the "Receive System Emails" for the user's that shouldn't be getting them.

Do you know why that setting is enabled for users? I'm still assuming that it is the problem, but if it's not enabled for users, let us know as it may be some other issue.

Thanks,
Alex
