hookActionCartSave not working properly.

[M Iqbal]

Hello support,
I am trying to use  hookActionCartSave hook in my custom module but that hooks fire when i go to checkout and add customer information or login customer in Prestashop 1.6 and 1.7.

I want the event when user add product to cart.
As per Prestashop documentation i try to use actionCartUpdateQuantityBefore but no luck.

Can anyone please help.

Thank you.

hookActionCartSave is called each time a data of Cart has change.

So it happens many times on same request.

• 1.6 you can use actionBeforeCartUpdateQty https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop-1.6/blob/1.6.1.24/classes/Cart.php#L959
• 1.7 you can use actionCartUpdateQuantityBefore https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/1.7.8.5/classes/Cart.php#L1558

That hook works when you add something to the cart. Is the hook registered? If so, what exactly do you do that doesn't work?

Basically, I am currently using hook hookActionCartSave , but this hooks fire when i go to checkout page and enter customer address / login customer after adding product to cart.

I need an event when a product will be add / remove / qty update in cart.

That hook is executed when you add / delete a product, I tell you for sure.
Do a simple test, type "exit;" in the hook, and check in the console, on the network, if the execution stops (you can also give a var_dump with a text, to see if it returns that text to you).

I have the same problem with version 8.

i added a echo with script-tag and then called console.log('hook called'), but nothing happend.

but there won't be a console.log, using var_dump creates an error

In PrestaShop, you cannot directly use console.log inside an action hook because action hooks are executed on the server side in PHP, while console.log is a JavaScript function that runs on the client side (browser). You can use PHP debugging methods inside your action hook function, such as:

error_log(print_r($params, true));  // to log data to the PHP error log.

 

print_r($params); die();  // to output data directly (useful for quick debugging but will stop execution).

You can use PrestashopLogger for action hooks and then check Logs page in prestashop.

that was a good hint. logs are written, i guess i need to study the docs further, in order to implement a correct functionality. however, the logs has shown, that the hooks are called. thanks !

 

        PrestaShopLogger::addLog('hookActionValidateOrder', 3);

 

was a call -> i saw that log
