Magento – Difference between base_price and base_original_price

This post helped me when I add to do something similar.

First I had to create a module Rewrites_Sales overriding Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Api_V2 with this config.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Rewrites_Sales>
            <version>0.2.0</version>
        </Rewrites_Sales>
    </modules>
    <global>    
        <models>
            <sales>
                <rewrite>
                    <order_api_v2>Rewrites_Sales_Model_Order_Api_V2</order_api_v2>
                </rewrite>
            </sales>
        </models>
    </global>    
</config>

Next I created Rewrites/Sales/Model/Order/Api/V2.php like this :

<?php

class Rewrites_Sales_Model_Order_Api_V2 extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Api_V2
{

    /**
     * Prepare data to insert/update.
     * Creating array for stdClass Object
     *
     * @param stdClass $data
     * @return array
     */
    protected function _prepareData(&$data)
    {
        if (null === ($data = get_object_vars($data))) {
            $data = array();
        }
        return $data;
    }

    /**
     * Update customer data
     *
     * @param int $orderIncrementId
     * @param array $data
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function update($orderIncrementId, $data)
    {
        $order = $this->_initOrder($orderIncrementId);

        $this->_prepareData($data);

        $order->addData($data)
            ->save();

        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Create order
     *
     * @param int $orderIncrementId
     * @param array $data
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function create($data)
    {
        $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order');

        $this->_prepareData($data);

        $order->setData($data)
            ->save();

        return true;
    }

}

I declared my acl and resources in api.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <api>
        <resources>
            <sales_order>
                <methods>
                    <update translate="title" module="sales">
                        <title>Update Order Attribute</title>
                        <acl>sales/order/update</acl>
                    </update>
                </methods>
            </sales_order>
        </resources>
        <acl>
            <resources>
                <sales>
                    <order>
                        <update translate="title" module="sales">
                            <title>Update order attributes</title>
                        </update>
                    </order>
                </sales>
            </resources>
        </acl>
        <!-- Same nodes for create resources & acl -->
    </api>
</config>

And finaly API calls were set in wsdl.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions xmlns:typens="urn:{{var wsdl.name}}" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"

    name="{{var wsdl.name}}" targetNamespace="urn:{{var wsdl.name}}">
    <message name="salesOrderUpdateRequest">

    </message>
    <message name="salesOrderUpdateResponse">

            <input message="typens:salesOrderUpdateRequest" />
            <output message="typens:salesOrderUpdateResponse" />

    </portType>

            <input>
                <soap:body namespace="urn:{{var wsdl.name}}" use="encoded" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
            </input>
            <output>
                <soap:body namespace="urn:{{var wsdl.name}}" use="encoded" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
            </output>
        </operation>
    </binding>
    <!-- Reproduce same nodes for create method -->
</definitions>

Magento is known to deliver surprising and unexpected implementations in almost every aspect of the application.

But, no, not this. It is too much.

The actual code is

if($this->_getResource()->isOrderIncrementIdUsed($this->getReservedOrderId())) {
    $this->setReservedOrderId($this->_getResource()->getReservedOrderId($this));
}

Please check across versions:

https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-mirror/blob/1.9.3.9/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote.php

It would be great if you have this file under version control so you can track back who added the extra random integer code, and, my oh my, why? :)
