[Solved]Call a custom script / function on purchase and product add

[klmiop]

Hi, and thanks for taking time to read my post.

 

Actually, i would like to be able to call something like a .php script, or even a function (php / ajax) when a product is purchased. The reason is that i want to update a custom database (not the one the shop will be using, but a complety unrelated one that i'm creating myself)

 

But i really don't have any idea where i should call my script / function to trigger it when a product is purchased, and i would also like to do the same when a product is added via prestashop's administration.

 

Also if what i'm asking is possible, am i going to be able to get something like the id of the purchased / added product ?

 

If you have any idea that could help me, it would be really appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

 

Nicolas.

I think you can use 'best practice' hooks in PrestaShop.

 

Here is a link to get your familiar with hooks

Well i'm feeling a bit dumb, that's exactly what i was looking for.

 

I guess i used the wrong keywords while searching, i went for "callback events" but it didn't helped me.

 

Thank you very much, you saved me

 

Have a great day !

 

(I clicked on "Mark Solved" on your post, i hope that's how i show that my problem is solved)

 

Best regards
