Simple question

Hi,
We need to add a small code (for the admin) after an order status has been changed to "confirmed" (meaning payment was ok after order created) so that we can insert/update a custom db table with some data.

The question is - which is the best file to place our code? administrator/com_hikashop/controllers/user.php or there's another place where the system performs this task of changing the order status?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
M

Hi,

The best place is a plugin with the trigger "onAfterOrderUpdate".
By creating a plugin you could be able to update HikaShop without loosing your modifications (and so, your feature).

www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...l#onAfterOrderUpdate

The $order object contains "$order->old", so you can check for order status modification thanks to "$order->order_status" and "$order->old->order_status".
If "$order->order_status" is empty or not set it means that the order has been modified by the status is not modified.

Hi Jerome,

Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, I was pointing there but I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't break any of the functionalities of the payment system. I just need to add a flag to a db table so it's fairly simple and easy.

Once again, thanks!!

Cheers

Hi Jerome,
Has there been any changes in the changestatus() in 2.1? I'm asking this because the plugin I've made now only works if I change the order status manually, which means that when the order status changes automatically, for instance when the payment is confirmed, the plugin no longer triggers. Possibly any changes in this changestatus system on 2.1 that I'm not aware.
Thanks

Hi,

That trigger is still called when orders are confirmed automatically in the 2.1. The $order variable should roughly be the same than on 2.0 with only a few more attributes.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the reply. Have to check it because I've not made any changes and in fact it no longer triggers unless, as I mentioned, I change the order status in the administration.
Thanks
