Magento – Can’t Get Order Object in sales_order_place_after Observer Method

event-observermagento-1.8

I'm trying to hook into the sales_order_place_after method in my observer and save information about the just placed order into a new database table. I'm able to hook into the event successfully, but when I try to access the order object, I keep getting the error User Error: Some transactions have not been committed or rolled back.

This is my config.xml:

  <sales_order_place_after>
    <observers>
      <myaction_save_order>
        <type>singleton</type>
        <class>mymodule/observer</class>
        <method>saveOrderIdToAttendees</method>
      </myaction_save_order>
    </observers>
  </sales_order_place_after>

This works fine. The problem I'm getting is in my observer:

public function saveOrderIdToAttendees($observer) {
    $this->getHelper()->log('Helloooo');

    $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();

    $this->getHelper()->log($order);
}

For some reason I don't even have access to the getEvent() method. I've tried logging just the $observer->getEvent() object and that gives me the same error.

I suggest the event checkout_submit_all_after in this case. As far as a I know sales_order_place_after is triggered when you have placed an order using Multishipping but checkout_submit_all_after will always get triggered.

<global>
<events>
        <checkout_submit_all_after>
            <observers>
                <myaction_save_order>
                    <class>mymodule/observer</class>
                    <method>saveOrderIdToAttendees</method>
                </myaction_save_order>
            </observers>
        </checkout_submit_all_after>
    </events>
</global>

and use

 $order = $observer->getEvent()->getData('order');

There are small issue ,in closing backet of class Npm_Commission_Model_Observer and method name is wrong, should calculate_commission from saveorder as xml define

<?php
class Npm_Commission_Model_Observer extends Varien_Event_Observer
{
    public function saveorder($observer)
    {
        die('sales_order_place_after');
        $params = Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()->getParams();
        echo "<pre>";print_r($params);die();
