Affiliate fee not registered

I created an affiliate account a1 and set a custom fee and then created another account a2 and bought a product form a2 with the first account a1 as the partner. I then manually changed the order to confirmed. The order shows that a1 is the partner however the partner fee is 0. what am I doing wrong and how to fix it?

Here are the screenshots

ok thanks. while we are on the topic I have a question. if I create a hook for the before order create event and change the partner fees in the order object that is passed a s the parameter it would automatically change the partner fees or do I have to do something extra. also will that work for any of the other 3 hooks that accept an order reference as a parameter?

I diffed the new and old plugin and noticed "<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?>" is missing and a few other things. so is this normal or was it forgotten in the haste


Also how exactly do you change the partner fees in the order?

apparently the problem still persists. I wrote:

$order->order_partner_price = SomeMethodWhichReturnsANumber();

I checked and the method does return the correct number and that this line is in fact executed.

My plugin has ordering 1 and your default plugin has ordering 0 which I assume means that my plugin works after yours so it should be ok.

Should I use the order class to save the order or what exactly

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

//some checks here

$userClass = hikashop_get('class.user');
$user = $userClass->get($order->order_partner_id);

if(!empty($user->user_partner_activated)) {
$this->report(print_r($this->get_partner_fee($order->order_partner_id, $group, $order->order_id),true)); //this method runs and gives me visible output
$order->order_partner_price = $this->get_partner_fee($order->order_partner_id, $group, $order->order_id);

}
return true;
}

I noticed that you are not saving the order after dispatching the onAfterOrderUpdate or the onAfterOrderCreate in the order.php file. The only call to $orderclass->save() is after the onBefore... methods. I do the actual changes in the onAfter order methods so as to be the final changer. is that what I do wrong. should I do the change in partner fees in the onBefore methods

I fixed it now and it works. I just wanted to be the last person to edit the fee so I thought if it I put the code in the onBefore something could override it in the onAfter giving me the idea to put the code in the onAfter methods.

Thanks for your help
