random passwords that are emailed to the users

Hi,
Under
www.joomdle.com/wiki/Migrating_existing_...Joomla_installations
I have read the following
- Add users to Joomla: create user accounts in Joomla for selected Moodle accounts.
- This creates accounts in Joomla for selected users, setting random passwords that are emailed to the users.

Is there a way to avoid this e-mail to be send out automatically?

Thanks for you help...
Robert

No. You can comment out the call to send the email in the code, but then how will users know their password?

Hi Antonio,
Yes, that would be great, where exactly (what file) can I do that ?
The reason why I want to do that is, I like to keep their old password, by using another component named J-import.
Soon after migration, I will re-import their old password.
Thanks for telling me the file and code part I need to comment out!
Muchas gracias,
Robert

I think I found it... it actually is a Joomla issue:
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=280282

In the new Joomla 2.5.1 there is a solution to this:

- Go to Extensions/Plugins and edit User-Joomla.
- Change the Notification Email to User to No.
- Save Create a new user in the backend.
- That user should not get an email

Ah, it's true, you are right: as we create the user in Joomla, it's Joomla itself sending the email.

Thanks for providing steps to disable it.

Also, can you explain how are you going to recover old Moodle passwords? I could not find the component j-import.

in my case I will recover passwords from a different database, but it should work for Moodle also. I am using the following tool:
mycircletree.com/client-area/cart.php?gid=7

Thanks for the info.

I don't know how your passwords are stored in that database, but Moodle stores salted MD5 hashs, so I don't think it can get them from there.
