Magento 1.8 – Why Magento Observer is Not Firing

event-observermagento-1.8model

I have truble with observer, don't know how to solve it!

Here is part of the config.xml and Observer.php files

Mycompany/Mymodule/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>    
<global>
        <models>
            <mymodule>
                <class>Mycompany_Mymodule_Model</class>
                <resourceModel>mymodule_mysql4</resourceModel>
            </mymodule>
            <mymodule_mysql4>
                <class>Mycompany_Mymodule_Model_Mysql4</class>
                <entities>
                    <mymodule>
                        <table>mymodule</table>
                    </mymodule>
                </entities>
            </mymodule_mysql4>
        </models>
        <events>
            <checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after>
                <observers>
                    <mycompany_mymodule_order_complete>
                        <class>mymodule/observer</class>
                        <method>mymoduleCompleteOrder</method>
                    </mycompany_mymodule_order_complete>
                </observers>
            </checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after>
       </events>
 </global>

Mycompany/Mymodule/Model/Observer.php

class Mycompany_Mymodule_Model_Observer 
{
    protected $_config;

    protected function _construct()
    {
        $this->_config = Mage::getModel('mymodule/config');
    }

    public function mymoduleCompleteOrder($observer)
    {...
      ....
    }

I do not know what exactly problem you have, but I see one problem in your code.

In your observer you have _construct() method.

It is not the php constructor (php constructor has two underscores).

Also your observer does not extend Mage_Core_Model_Abstract which runs _construct()` method during object initialization.

So as a result _construct() will not be executed and protected $_config; will always be null.

If you use $this->_config in mymoduleCompleteOrder(), it can generate error, and your code is not executed correctly.

Magento 1 – Observer Not Firing in Cart Event

A few things:

The model is defined as:

<class>Caitlinhavener_Dynamicprice_Model_Observer</class>

Which is looking for the class file in the folder structure Caitlinhavener/Dynamicprice/Model/Observer/Observer.php.

Change this line to:

<class>Caitlinhavener_Dynamicprice_Model</class>

Likewise, you have an issue in the model/method in your event listener - change to:

<class>chdispatcher/observer</class>

Edit:

Frontend should not be nested inside of <global>:

<global>
    <models>
        <chdispatcher>
            <class>Caitlinhavener_Dynamicprice_Model</class>
        </chdispatcher>
    </models>
</global>


<frontend>
    <events>
        <checkout_cart_product_add_after>
            <observers>
                <modify_to_custom_price>
                    <class>chdispatcher/observer</class>
                    <method>modifyPrice</method>
                </modify_to_custom_price>
            </observers>
        </checkout_cart_product_add_after>
    </events>
</frontend>

Magento 1.9 – Customer Save After Observer Not Firing Issue

Issue1: you have not create config.xml code and you have put config code at api.xml that is wrong; code is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Ghs_Ghsapi>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Ghs_Ghsapi>
  </modules>
  <global>
    <helpers>
      <ghs_ghsapi>
        <class>Ghs_Ghsapi_Helper</class>
      </ghs_ghsapi>
    </helpers>
    <models>
      <ghs_ghsapi>
        <class>Ghs_Ghsapi_Model</class>
      </ghs_ghsapi>
    </models>
    <events>
      <adminhtml_customer_save_after> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
        <observers>
          <adminhtml_customer_save_after_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
            <type>model</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
            <class>ghs_ghsapi/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
            <method>observeOrders</method>  <!-- observer's method to be called -->
          </adminhtml_customer_save_after_handler>
        </observers>
      </adminhtml_customer_save_after>
    </events>
  </global>

Issue2: folder Name is wrong should be

Extension name Space: Ghs

and Module is : Ghsapi

That means folder stucure should be

Ghs/Ghsapi/etc/api.xml

Ghs/Ghsapi/etc/config.xml

Ghs/Ghsapi/Model/Observer.php

Issue3:api.xml code:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <api>
        <resources>
            <ghs translate="title" module="customer">
                <model>ghs_ghsapi>/api</model>
                <title>Customer Resource</title>
                <acl>ghs</acl>
                <methods>
                    <orderlist translate="title" module="customer">
                        <title>Retrieve customer data</title>
                        <acl>ghs/orderlist</acl>
                        <method>orderlist</method>
                    </orderlist>

                    <ordertotal translate="title" module="customer">
                        <title>Retrieve customer data</title>
                        <acl>ghs/ordertotal</acl>
                        <method>ordertotal</method>
                    </ordertotal>

                </methods>
                <faults module="xyz">                   
                </faults>
            </ghs>
        </resources>
    </api>
