All help and advice greatly appreciated. TIA DM/")* Hi, You should have done a var_dump on $element not $object if you defined the first variable of the function as $element. The product id is available with $element->vote_ref_id You can then load the product name like that: $class = hikashop_get('class.product'); $product = $class->get($element->vote_ref_id); echo $product->product_name; Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg2MzUxNy1vbmJlZm9yZXZvdGVjcmVhdGUtb2JqZWN0P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[DeeEmm](/forum/user/26410-deeemm "View DeeEmm's Profile")** - [![DeeEmm's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar26410.jpg)](/forum/user/26410-deeemm "View DeeEmm's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/26410-deeemm) Less More - Posts: 114 - Thank you received: 14 - - [](http://deeemm.com) - 13 years 1 day ago [\#131982](#131982) by [DeeEmm](/forum/user/26410-deeemm "View DeeEmm's Profile") Replied by *[DeeEmm](/forum/user/26410-deeemm "View DeeEmm's Profile")* on topic *[onBeforeVoteCreate object](/forum/31-development/863517-onbeforevotecreate-object#131982 "Hi.

TIA DM/")* Thanks Nicolas, Quick and accurate advice as usual. ![:D](/media/kunena/emoticons/1.png ":D") I incorrectly stated that I could not see the contents of *$object,* it was in fact *$element* as you suggested. My issue turned out to be that I could not see the results of the var_dump in the browser. I changed to use error_log(var_export($element, true)) and viewed the contents within the error.log instead and managed to get the full structure. For anyone else looking for the structure of the $element object it is as follows: Code: stdClass::__set_state(array( 'hikashop_vote_type' => 'comment', 'vote_ref_id' => 2, 'user_id' => 2, 'pseudo_comment' => '0', 'email_comment' => '0', 'vote_type' => 'product', 'vote' => 0, 'comment' => 'hhhmmmnnn', )) DM/ --- [ deeemm.com](http://deeemm.com) The following user(s) said Thank You: [Xavier](/forum/user/4105-xavier "View Xavier's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg2MzUxNy1vbmJlZm9yZXZvdGVjcmVhdGUtb2JqZWN0P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
