call a function when an order is completed

[Oplus99]

Hi,

 

I want to know where to put my function and where I can call it back.

 

basically, when I user pays for an item and it is approved. I want to call a function with parameters.

the parameters will be:

order number

internal account number (id of the customer)

customer name

address

city

state

zip code

country code

phone number

email

shipment method

carrier code

shipper account number

item#

quantity ordered

 

so I need access of all of these info.

 

In brief, When someone clicks on I confirm my order and the ordered was successfully paid and approved. I want to call a function and pass the parameters above to that function so it can do its work.

 

1. where do I put my function?

2. where do I call my function?

3. How do I access those info?

 

Much appreciate it.

The best way is to create a module that hooks on the hook NewOrder.

You may find info on : http://doc.prestashop.com/

But I dont want it to be controlled on the back office... is there any other way to do that? like just call a function when an ordered has been placed?

 

Thanks,

I didn't mean you will control it from the back office

 

Prestashop calls hooks in many places during execution.

In particular, the NewOrder hook is called when a new order is confirmed.

So, you can write a module that will be called by this hook and exécute the code you want.

You can take the MailAlerts or Loyalties modules as examples.

 

You will see how to create the module, how to hook to hooks (they use the hookNewOrder)

In the hook parameter (the $param), you should retrieve this info.

How can I turn id to string ?

 

example: $params["cart"]->id_address_delivery is an id.. I want the text of that address and not the id..

 

Please help me with that

 

thanks,

[Oplus99]

I got a turn around to this. I am using the database to get strings

 

$customer_full_address = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->ExecuteS('SELECT a.address1, a.address2, a.postcode, a.city, a.phone, st.name AS state, cl.name AS country FROM ps_address a, ps_state st, ps_country_lang cl WHERE a.id_address = '.$cart->id_address_delivery.' AND a.id_state = st.id_state AND a.id_country = cl.id_country AND cl.id_lang = 1');

 

 

then I can have

 

$customer_city = $customer_full_address[0]["city"];

 

Thanks,

Sorry, does anyone know how to have a var_dump of $ params

[Alex Simonchik BelVG]

Hi,

 

Oplus99, in your example (post #11) using getRow instead of executeS allows the use $customer_full_address["city"]

Matteo ulivi, just use var_dump($params) or print_r($params)
