Magento 1.9 Event Observer – Fixing sales_order_place_after Event

customerevent-observermagento-1.9sales-order

I have created a custom module to catch the sales_order_place_after event, but when i finish a order nothing happen.
My module it's active.

My module looks like this:

config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <In2itive_OrderComment>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </In2itive_OrderComment>
  </modules>
  <global>
    <models>
      <ordercomment>
        <class>In2itive_OrderComment_Model</class>
        <resourceModel>in2itiveordercomment_mysql4</resourceModel>
      </ordercomment>
    </models>
    <events>
      <sales_order_place_after>
        <observers>
          <checkout_submit_all_after_handler>
            <type>model</type>
            <class>in2itive_ordercomment/observer</class>
            <method>logShipping</method>
          </checkout_submit_all_after_handler>
        </observers>
      </sales_order_place_after>
    </events>
  </global>
</config>

and Observer.php located in In2itive/OrderComment/Model/Observer.php :

<?php
class In2itive_OrderComment_Model_Observer
{

    public function logShipping($observer)
    {   Mage::log('your debug', null, 'yourlog.log');
        $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
        $history = $order->addStatusHistoryComment($order->getShippingMethod(), false);
        $history->setIsCustomerNotified(false);
        $order->save();
    }

}

Even a put a print_R i don't receive nothing.
My module it's not catching the event or I don't use the corect log method for this situation?

Try this XML code:

    <adminhtml>
          <events>
                <sales_order_place_after>
                    <observers>
                        <mynamespace_mymodule_sales_order_place_after>
                            <type>singleton</type>
                            <class>Mynamespace_Mymodule_Model_Observers_Log</class>
                            <method>logShipping</method>
                        </mynamespace_mymodule_sales_order_place_after>
                    </observers>
                </sales_order_place_after
          </events>
    </adminhtml>

and in the Log observer class:

class Mynamespace_Mymodule_Model_Observers_Log
{
   public function logShipping() 
   {
        // Do logic here
   }
}

Magento – Save admin name to order_status change using an Observer

EDIT:

You can also do the following, which I would recommend over the previous solution I posted. Mostly because it doesn't use setPost, which I would consider scary.

config.xml:

<adminhtml>
  <events>
    <sales_order_status_history_save_before>
      <observers>
        <module_status_history_save_before>
          <class>module/observer</class>
          <method>commentSaveBefore</method>
        </module_status_history_save_before>
      </observers>
    </sales_order_status_history_save_before>
  </events>
</adminhtml>

Observer.php:

public function commentSaveBefore($obs) {
    $event = $obs->getEvent();
    $status = $event->getDataObject();
    $status->setComment($status->getComment().$this->_getAppend());
}

protected function _getAppend()
{
    $admin = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->getUser();
    $username = $admin->getUsername();
    return " : " . $username;
}

This would accomplish the same thing, except you're intercepting the model before it gets saved, allowing you to alter the comment without having to use setPost().

Original Post: You could do the following:

config.xml:

<adminhtml>
    <events>
        <controller_action_predispatch_adminhtml_sales_order_addComment>
            <observers>
                <module_order_save_comment>
                    <class>module/observer</class>
                    <method>adminhtmlSavingOrderComment</method>
                </module_order_save_comment>
            </observers>
        </controller_action_predispatch_adminhtml_sales_order_addComment>
    </events>
</adminhtml>

Observer.php:

public function adminhtmlSavingOrderComment($obs) {
    $event = $obs->getEvent();
    $order = $event->getOrder();
    $data = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost('history');
    if ($data && isset($data['comment'])) {
        $data['comment'] .= $this->_getAppend();
        Mage::app()->getRequest()->setPost('history', $data);
    }
}

protected function _getAppend()
{
    $admin = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->getUser();
    $username = $admin->getUsername();
    return " : " . $username;
}

This should work for you.

Magento – sales_order_place_after event not working

It happens in an ajax request, so you don't see the "echo" output in the frontend. If you inspect the response in the browser console you should see it.

I recommend to set up xdebug for step by step debugging. Then you can use a breakpoint instead of echo and exit. You also get information at runtime about variables and the call stack. It's really worth the initial effort.
