Joomla version: 3.2.0 Hikashop version: last free edition")* Hi, You don't mention anywhere in your message that you edited the xml file in order to adapt it to its new name. That's probably why it doesn't work in fact. Joomla looks into the xml to know which php file to launch. If you don't give him the correct, one, he will just ignore it.

Joomla version: 3.2.0 Hikashop version: last free edition")* Hi again nicolas, I found the problem, it was a stupid syntax php mistake inside my plugin. Now the plugin works, but I'm not able to catch a particoular event, I need my custom code to be executed when the order has been payed using paypal. My paypal mayment method is set to change the status to 'confirmed' when the order is verified and to 'created' when the status of the order is pending. I tried both: Code: function onAfterOrderCreate(&$order,&$send_email) { if(!empty($order->order_id) && ($order->order_status == "confirmed")) { --custom code--- }} and Code: function onAfterOrderUpdate(&$order,&$send_email) { if(!empty($order->order_id) && ($order->order_status == "confirmed")) { --custom code--- }} But my custom code is executed only when manually updating order status in administration panel of hikashop, even if the status was already on 'confirmed'.

Joomla version: 3.2.0 Hikashop version: last free edition")* Hi, The onAfterOrderCreate trigger is not useful in your case. The onAfterOrderUpdate trigger should be triggered when PayPal confirms the order too. The code you gave is correct. How do you know that your custom code is not working ? Because since it's PayPal server's which are confirming the order, it's normal that you don't see any message displayed on the website, and that you can't access the customer's session data in your custom code. I'm guessing that the issue is more something on that end because the trigger is always done and definitely done when PayPal confirms the order, otherwise, HikaSerial and HikaMarket wouldn't work properly.

Code: if(!@include_once(rtrim(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR,DS).DS.'components'.DS.'com_hikashop'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'helper.php')){ return false; } $orderClass = hikashop_get('class.order'); $order = $orderClass->loadFullOrder($order->order_id); I really need the full $order object because my custom code needs to be executed for each product in the cart and the cart array is only present inside the full $order object, I hope there is a workaround.

Joomla version: 3.2.0 Hikashop version: last free edition")* That's normal. Look at the definition of loadFullOrder. You need to give the function a false on the third parameter if you want to skip the check on the current user or otherwise it will return null if the current user is not the owner of the order.

I made a clone folder of /plugins/hikashop/history 2. I renamed this clone folder in /plugins/hikashop/credits 3. I renamed the xml file in /plugins/hikashop/credits/credits.xml 4. I renamed the php file in /plugins/hikashop/credits/credits.php 5. I opened credits.xml changing name tag, description and author tag, and the following tag: 6. I went in Joomla extension manager -> discover -> I discovered my credits plugin -> I installed id and activated it 7. I edited /plugins/hikashop/credits/credits.php like this: The plugin does not work, the function is not triggered when updating an order satus. My code DOES WORK if I paste it directly inside Hikashop History plugin inside its onAfterOrderUpdate function. So the problem is not my code, what am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot in advance.
