actionCustomerAccountUpdate on update done by admin

[GetSchwifty]

Hi,

 

I specifically set my shop to create all new users deactivated. Now, I'd like to send custom e-mail to the user, when an admin manualy activates him/her in the backoffice. I know, that there's an actionCustomerAccountUpdate hook, however this hooks is only called when user updates his own information, not when admin does this.

How to do this?

 

Thank you.

You can use the hook actionObjectCustomerUpdateAfter

public function hookactionObjectCustomerUpdateAfter($params)
{
	$id_customer = (int)$params['object']->id;
    // ...
}

Thank you! However it seems like this hook fires too late. When I get the Customer object from actionObjectCustomerUpdateAfter or actionObjectCustomerUpdateBefore, it's already changed. In other words - if I want to activate deactivated user, the actionObjectCustomerUpdateBefore hook returns user that is already active. How come?

I guess you're right, the value of active is modified before calling the update() function.

You can use actionObjectCustomerUpdateBefore and reload Customer from database

public function hookactionObjectCustomerUpdateBefore($params)
{
	$id_customer = (int)$params['object']->id;
	$customerInDb = new Customer($id_customer);
	if ($params['object']->active != $customerInDb->active) {
		// Active change...
	}    
}
