Question

I’m working on an observer that needs to add (a) serial key(s) to each item in the cart once an order is placed.

I’m listening to the event sales_model_service_quote_submit_success right now.

I’ve been able to access the order, get a list of the items, iterate through them, and get the product options. My code fails either when I try to setProductOptions or save–I’m not sure which, maybe it’s both.

Here is the relevant code:

// Get access to order information
$lastOrderId = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastOrderId();
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($lastOrderId);

// Get the items from the order
$items = $order->getAllItems();

foreach ($items as $item)
{
    // Pretend here is the call that fetches the serial keys for this item and stores them in $keyString

    // If we actually received the keys in a string, store them with the item
    if (!empty($keyString))
    {
        $productOptions = array();
        if (count($item->getProductOptions()))
        {
            $productOptions = $item->getProductOptions();
        }
        $productOptions['keys'] = $keyString;

        $item->setProductOptions($productOptions);
        $item->save();
    }
}

Any ideas what I have forgotten or done wrong? Thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

no such observer , at least i didn’t find it from codebase, here’s what you can use

Mage::dispatchEvent('sales_model_service_quote_submit_before', array('order'=>$order, 'quote'=>$quote));
Mage::dispatchEvent('sales_model_service_quote_submit_after', array('order'=>$order, 'quote'=>$quote));

and in your observer method

/**
 * 
 * @param Varien_Event_Observer $observer
 * 
 */
public function setShippingDefaults(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {
    $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
}

the idea is that if you do it in before-action then you won’t need to call save and if you do it in after-action then you do and if you do it in before action you might just end in endless loop if you are not careful.
