I'm trying to modify the payment block on the order detail page in backend. Therefore I've created an observer which is listening to following event:
payment_info_block_prepare_specific_information
Now, when I'm trying to get the payment code with
$payment = $observer->getEvent()->getPayment();
$paymentmethod = $payment->getMethodInstance()->getCode();
I do get following error for credit card payments (Authorize.net) only:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getCode()
Orders placed by using PayPal Express Checkout work though. Do I miss something? I appreciate any help.
Magento ver. 1.14.2.4

There's a shorter and more direct way to the data you want. The method code is stored on the payment info instance (
sales_flat_order_payment
) as columnmethod
.That means:
That should give you the payment method code (as a string) in
$paymentmethod
.
