Hikashop developing a payment plugin gateway

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.43
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : MOZILLA FF 33.0.3

Developed a payment plugin based on ok payment plugin that came with the system.
It's for Tranzila gateway.
The thing is when a payment is successful order status doesn't get updated ,to confirmed.
When payment is bad the order does get cancelled ,only when good it's not confirmed.
The payment gateway send notify on both success and failure and I've built pages for both.
and on both pages I give order ID.(I give to gateway and gateway gives it back)
So I think if you explain to me the procedure how the order gets confirmed I would know where to try and debug.

Hi,

Did you read the HikaShop sample payment plugin code ?
github.com/HikaShop/sample-payment-plugi...b/master/example.php

The confirmation of the order is made line 217 in that sample plugin It change the order status with the "verified status" from the plugin configuration.

Regards,

Yes I have seen that ,I already tried this:

$this->modifyOrder($order_id,$this->payment_params->verified_status,true,true);

didn't work ,so tried this

$this->modifyOrder($order_id,'confirmed',true,true);
also didn't work ,the order is still on status "created"

If you don't mind me asking ,where is it declared? Where do I see the possible values of payment_params->verified_status
and cancelled status and so on!
I looked here:
hikashopPaymentPlugin

Hi,

$this->payment_params->verified_status comes from your own payment plugin.
Normally, you have such attribute at the beginning of your payment plugin class: where you define the options of the configuration of the payment method and there you can see the line:
'verified_status' => array('VERIFIED_STATUS', 'orderstatus')
which add the dropdown to select the status the merchant wants when a successful payment notification comes in.
The values of the options are then loaded by yourself in $this->payment_params at the beginning of the onPaymentNotification by calling the function $this->loadPaymentParams($dbOrder); as in the example payment plugin.

You have been very helpful ,thank you.

What triggers function onPaymentNotification(&$statuses){..
I think it is not being triggered at all !
It should be triggered both on payment success and failure ,right?!
I put this line of code inside it for debugging:
if($verified){ $this->modifyOrder($order_id,$this->payment_params->verified_status,true,true);mail("mymail@myurl.net", "verified", "ok");}
else mail("mymail@myurl.net", "verified", "bad");
I receive no mails at all ,although in other functions I do get mail.

this function
function onAfterOrderConfirm(&$order,&$methods,$method_id){
is being called when user has pressed the finish button to move to payment gateway page(embedded iframe)
while this function
function onBeforeOrderConfirm(&$order)
is not being called at all ,which is kind of weird!
what's the usual scenario here ,if I may ask?

Hi,

onPaymentNotification is called automatically when the payment gateway calls the notification URL of your payment plugin.
As you can see in the example plugin, the notification URL is: And you need to pass that URL to the payment gateway so that it can notify your plugin of the payment. In most cases, that is done in the onAfterOrderConfirm function at the end of the checkout, but it can also be done in the merchant account of the payment gateway based on how the payment gateway is done.

The trigger onBeforeOrderConfirm doesn't exist so it's normal that the function is not called in your plugin.

Thanks ,that makes sense.
What does this
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&task=after_end&order_id=12&Itemid=12
trigger?
and what does this
index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=order&task=cancel_order&order_id='.$order_id.$this->url_itemid;
trigger?

which functions are called?

Hi,

The first one triggers nothing, it's just calling a view. The trigger called just before this is "onAfterOrderCreate(&$order,&$do)"

For the second one, the called trigger is "onBeforeOrderUpdate(&$order,&$do)"

Thank you so very much nicolas and Xavier.
I am a first timer with the whole Hikashop thing so I ask you to bear with me for I have a lot to ask about.
What is the function responsible for calculating final price and displaying it in checkout?
I need to make 25% off shipping price on second product for customers who order more than one product.
Where the highest shipping rate product will be the first.
So if a customer buys product A which ships for 40 and product B which ships for 80 ,then I will charge 80 for product B and only 30 for product A.which is 25% off. and so on if he orders 5 products he pays 100% for shipping only for the expensive one the rest he gets 75% price.

So to do this I need to know where the calculation is done and how!

Hi,

The best would be to create a copy of the manual shipping plugin (so that you don't loose the modifications each time you update hikashop) and in that shipping, you can implement the onShippingDisplay function (see administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php for info on what this function contains).
In it, you can change the shipping price of the shipping methods on the fly and you also get in its parameters the content of the cart for your checks.

That sounds like fun ,I have some questions though:
- A copy of manual shippment plugin you mean copy the files folder rename the folder and modify xml file and install with different name right?
- onShippingDisplay should be implemented inside manual class and parent::onShippingDisplay should be called from there as well?
- How do I get shipping cost for the product? both in onShippingDisplay and in my payment plugin?
I tried something like this:
foreach($order->cart->products as $product)
$ship_cost=$product->order_product_shipping_price;
it was a no go!

Hi,

1. Yes, that's the idea of the copy.

2. Calling the parent::onShippingDisplay is interesting so you will have all features of the shipping interface. After the call, you can put some custom PHP code in order to add more filters (or new features) for the shipping methods.

3. The function onShippingDisplay gives you the cart with his products.
The product in the cart is not a "product", it's an "item". So you can access to the item custom field.
Bu you can read the product_id values of the products in the cart and load the products ; so you can access to the product custom field.

Regards,

Hi,
Sorry for not being around so much.

I have tried the method you suggested ,I have the following in my manual.php file ,which I made sure is the one loaded by the system: now the problem is whatever code I do here does not effect the price calculated for shipment it still is the same price I defined for the product shipment.
For example if a product costs 40 to ship ,and in my manual shipment I add this: this should turn all costs to 15 ,but it doesn't !

Hi,

Your code doesn't makes sense.
In the function onShippingDisplay, you have these variables: &$order, &$dbrates, &$usable_rates, &$messages
There is no $ret, so I don't know what you're trying to do but either you have some other code you didn't provide or something else.

The goal of onShippingDisplay is to check all the shipping methods pertaining to the plugin in $dbrates and then to copy them in $usbale_rates. In the process of doing the copy, you can modify the price of the rate to whatever you want, but it's not in the $order that you should do that. It's in the rates that you copy from $dbrates to $usable_rates.

Thank you for your reply,

If I want to set the overall shipping price to 15, always simply 15 ,how do I do it!? would this work?
I tried it, and it had no effect on the shipping price.
and when I try this: I get an error that stdClass can't be converted to string!
This is how I see $usable_rates:

I used this: and it worked just fine.
I also need to display shipping price together with product price on price display .(list display)
how to do this?

You'll have to edit the file "listing_img_title" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views and add custom code there to display the price you want.
