Magento – PHP – How to get custom customer attribute in order

event-observerPHP

i am using Magento 1.9.0.1 and i am developing a custom extension.

Right now i am stuck at the following thing.

Like this i use to get the customers name from an order:

$CustomerName = $observer->getOrder()->getBillingAddress()->getName();

I have custom customer attribute called sms_on_order_change and i am trying to get the value of it like that:

$SMSOnStatusChange = $observer->getResource()->getAttribute('sms_on_order_change')->getFrontend()->getValue();

But it is not working.

Here is my config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

    <VivasIndustries_SmsNotification>
      <version>1.0.0</version>

Here is the extension that i am using for the creation of custom customer attributes: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/manage-customer-attributes.html

So guys, can you help me out so i can get the value of this custom attribute ?

It's very easy but not simple to understand.

First at all you should create the attribute for a customer. After it check with this code 

$customer   = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($customerId);
$customerAttr = $customer->getSmsOnOrderChange();

Then you should update tables sales_flat_quote and sales_flat_order, please add a new column to the tables 'sms_on_order_change'.

Now some magic in your module!

In config.xml you should add this code:

<global>
    <fieldsets>

        <customer_account>
            <sms_on_order_change>
                <to_quote>*</to_quote>
            </sms_on_order_change>
        </customer_account>

        <sales_convert_quote>
            <sms_on_order_change>
                <to_order>*</to_order>
            </sms_on_order_change>
        </sales_convert_quote>

        <sales_convert_order>
            <sms_on_order_change>
                <to_quote>*</to_quote>
            </sms_on_order_change>
        </sales_convert_order>

    </fieldsets>
</global>

No events, no observer. It doesn't require.
