How to pass a variable from PaymentModule->validateOrder() to a module's hookPaymentReturn

[defuzed]

Hello,

 

i'm trying to pass a variable defined in the validateOrder() function of the PaymentModule class into a custom payment module's hookPaymentReturn function. I thought i could achieve this through the $params array, unfortunately if i try to add a variable to the 

Hook::exec('actionValidateOrder', array();

it doesn't seem to get passed into the hookPaymentReturn. (if i d($params) in that function my variable doesnt appear).

 

I'm obviously not good at php, help appreciated!

can you show the code you tried to use?  Both in the PaymentModule and your modules hookPaymentReturn

Hey Bellini,

 

in PaymentModule->validateOrder() i used:

// Hook validate order
Hook::exec('actionValidateOrder', array(
  'cart' => $this->context->cart,
  'order' => $order,
  'customer' => $this->context->customer,
  'currency' => $this->context->currency,
  'orderStatus' => $order_status,
  'postUpload' => $post_upload //added by me $post_upload is a boolean
));

which, as i gathered from other topics was where the hook got its $params from.

 

and then in my modules hookPaymentReturn() i used:

$has_post_upload = $params['postUpload'];

to access the variable...

what am i doing wrong?

looks accurate, but where do you set $post_upload to true in the PaymentModule class? 

 

Also did you make the edit directly to PaymentModule, or did you do this via an override?
