Delete order status, unistalling a module

[Rain_xx]

Hello,

I developed a payment module that create a new order status during its installation.

 

I would like to know how to make automatically delete that order status when the user unistall the module.

 

 

Thanks a lot.

Have you considered what should happen if there are orders using this order status?

I would like to delete the order status that the module created (recognizable by "module_name" value on the "ps_order_state" table), not just "an order status" or the last created.

But now I see that the module works properly even if unistalled and re-installed. I had some problem before reinstalling, and I thougth it may depends on the alreay existing "order status".. I'll never know what happened

In your install function, you should check to confirm that the order status you are trying to create already exists, then skip creating it.

 

There is no reason to delete the order status, in fact you shouldn't, because there are likely orders using that status (current or history).

That's correct, thanks for your advise.
