Assigning User Group on order creation

Hi,

I want to assign a user group when a customer orders a certain product.

This is possible by setting "User group after purchase" for the product in question.

However, the user group is only assigned once the order is set to confirmed.

I am aware of the possible implications, but still want to assign user groups immediately after the order is created.

How would I go about doing this?

Hi,

works fine, thanks a lot!

But this change will get overridden with the next update to group.php - correct?
If so, is there a way to make an override like with Views?

Hi,

I think that could be in the realm of my capabilities. Would I need to rename or copy the original Hika Plugin?

If I rename it, would the original not be added again with the new update?

And if I copy it, how would I stop the original from running as well?

Hi,
digging this up again, because we tried to delegate the assigning of user groups to HikaSerial and discovered that HikaSerial is not an option for us (yet).

However, I had another idea:
Could I create an onAfterOrderCreate() function in a custom plugin, check if there are user groups associated with the product and then set it myself, leaving the original HikaShop code untouched?

Sound counter-intuitive, but for me it would be less overhead and also future proof (since we already have a custom plugin).

Something like this:

        foreach ($order->cart->full_products as $product) {
	    $group = $product->product_group_after_purchase;
            if ($group != '') {
		$user = $userClass->get($order->order_user_id);
                $email = $user->user_email;
                
                // Find Joomla user via email
                $db = JFactory::getDbo();
                $query = $db->getQuery(true)
                    ->select($db->quoteName('id'))
                    ->from($db->quoteName('#__users'))
                    ->where($db->quoteName('email') . ' = ' . $db->quote($email));
                $db->setQuery($query);

                if ($id = $db->loadResult()) $user = JFactory::getUser($id);
                else return;
                UserHelper::addUserToGroup($user->id, $group);
            }
        }
