Hi,
I'm trying to build a simple plugin that should perform an action each time 'next' button is clicked during checkout, so tried to capture onAfterCheckoutStep :

public function onAfterCheckoutStep($controllerName, &$go_back, $original_go_back, &$controller){
        var_dump("step:".$controllerName);
         }

Tried to create it either as a hikashop plugin and a system plugin with the same result:

Once enabled there was no output added, so in order to check if the trigger was being fired I tried to enable other plugin listening to the same event (userpoints). When this other plugin was added to the checkout, then I do receive output from my plugin, but only regarding userpoints controller, this is the var dump shown:

step:plg.shop.userpoints

I couldn't find any information about extra steps needed to capture this type of action, is there any configuration missing?

Thanks

Hi,

The trigger is only called when a step has at least one view added by a plugin.
So you would have to implement onCheckoutStepList(&$list) to add a view to the list of available views in the checkout workflow editor, and then add that view to the checkout workflow.
