Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers M")* Hi, The best place is a plugin with the trigger "onAfterOrderUpdate". By creating a plugin you could be able to update HikaShop without loosing your modifications (and so, your feature). [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...l#onAfterOrderUpdate](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#onAfterOrderUpdate) The $order object contains "$order->old", so you can check for order status modification thanks to "$order->order_status" and "$order->old->order_status". If "$order->order_status" is empty or not set it means that the order has been modified by the status is not modified.

Yes, I was pointing there but I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't break any of the functionalities of the payment system. I just need to add a flag to a db table so it's fairly simple and easy. Once again, thanks!!

Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers M")* Hi Jerome, Has there been any changes in the changestatus() in 2.1? I'm asking this because the plugin I've made now only works if I change the order status manually, which means that when the order status changes automatically, for instance when the payment is confirmed, the plugin no longer triggers. Possibly any changes in this changestatus system on 2.1 that I'm not aware.

The $order variable should roughly be the same than on 2.0 with only a few more attributes.

Have to check it because I've not made any changes and in fact it no longer triggers unless, as I mentioned, I change the order status in the administration.
