Looooooads of emails for approval

Looooooads of emails for approval was created by hamishrp
Hey guys,

I recently updated my site after coming back from holiday to find i had been "hacked" the same day.

My site is quite big and about 200 people update their picture every day. So for us it is simply not an option (and not worth while) having emails sent out every time a pic is added for us to moderate. So i switched emails to NO via CP config.

However, since the new version, all my moderators (that's 50ppl) get emails to their inbox. For now we have got 'round the prob with filters etc. However I was hoping you could help.

I checked the configuration file itself and it seems to be correct (='0').

How can i stop these emails?

THANKS!

Hamish

Its working ok on my sites (and on this one).

Perhaps you have installed the CB Gallery and the messages are related with gallery items?

Hey,

I have CB gallery installed, but it is not available to any of my users. The tabs are not visible. I am waiting on being able to approve images on-mass (rather than having to visit each users profile to approve their pics).

Would that affect the way emails are sent?

It would only affect the gallery items needing approval.

What ar the settings in your CB Configuration:

Specifically:

CB Configuration->Moderation Tab

Also since you claim that your site was hacked - perhaps some of the CB or Joomla files were damaged - maybe an overwrite would help.

I did a complete reinstallation of all things cb after the hack to bring all the security changes up to speed. So i'm pretty sure the files are ok.

The settings are as follows:

Send moderators email: NO

Require Upload Image Approval: Yes

Ta,

really wierd...

and the messaged your moderators get state that an image needs moderation?

Also when viewing one of the moderators that is getting these emails from the CB User management section is the Receive Moderator Email flag set to Yes or No?
