How to get user name/id in order history

Hello,

I just bought business version and found a lot of interesting features in this version. What i can't find is how and where to get the user id or name of user who modified the status of an order. In my case, i'm just the administrator of website but orders are processed by other peoples (editors). Would be great to see this info (editors names) in orders history area instead of (or near) IP column for example.

Here is what i tried so far: in administrator/com_hikashop/plg_hikashop_history/history.php i added in

function onAfterOrderUpdate(&$order,&$send_email){

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->get('id') > 0) {
$utilizator = $user->get('id');
}
$history->history_user = $utilizator;

i created a field history_user in table but i dont' get the value in..

Thank you

There is no $history variable. It should be:
$order->history->history_user = $utilizator;

i don't know what i'm doing wrong:

function onAfterOrderUpdate(&$order,&$send_email){
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->get('id') > 0) {
$utilizator = $user->get('id');
}
$order->history->history_user = $utilizator;
if(!empty($order->order_id)){
....

You need to implement the function onBeforeOrderUpdate and not onAfterOrderUpdate so that the information is saved along the order. Also, you should have the history plugin published with an ordering greater than your plugin so that the information is already there when the history plugin saves the information.

Nicolas, can you please take a look at attached plugin? It's my first plugin, so please be gentle

You will need to modify the history plugin and change the code:

$history->history_reason = @$order->history->history_reason;
$history->history_notified = @$order->history->history_notified;
$history->history_amount = @$order->history->history_amount;
$history->history_package_id = @$order->history->history_package_id;
$history->history_payment_id = @$order->history->history_payment_id;
$history->history_payment_method = @$order->history->history_payment_method;
$history->history_data = @$order->history->history_data;
$history->history_type = @$order->history->history_type;

to:

foreach(get_object_vars($order->history) as $k => $v){
$history->$k = $v;
}

so that the new columns are taken into account by the history plugin. We'll do the modification on our end too so that you won't have problems next time you update.

I will wait for next update because i can't make it work, i modified the original history plugin but still don't get any value in history_user column. Please note that i created this column using phpmyadmin, not using custom fields option.

It will be faster for us to directly integrate that function without any plugin. It will be in next version.

May i ask when you will release a new update? We would like to start using hikashop but we can't without this option( i don't want to rush you, just asking for a time frame)

We don't have a defined date yet. We however do a release every two weeks approximately and we did last release on sunday.

Hello Nicholas,

Any chance to get this update? We can't start our shop without this option available...

We are still in the middle of the modifications to get next version out. In the mean time, we can propose you a pre version if you contact us via our contact form: www.hikashop.com/en/support/contact-us.html

Nicholas, thank yout for sending me this pre version..unfortunately, i can't find this option available..where should i look? I don't see any new column in order history..

In the order history, instead of the column IP, you should now have a column user/IP with both information.

Nope, is not there; not even "reason" field is not recorded

Since we didn't change the version number in the package, the query to modify the history table wasn't run during the update process. Please runt he query below in your phpmyadmin and then try a new order:
ALTER TABLE `jos_hikashop_history` ADD `history_user_id` INT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0

still not visibile in site, but is recorded in database..

If you customized the order view, you need to remove the customization since Hikashop does not remove your views customizations when you update it.

thank you, was a template problem
