Executing a hook from external PHP script

[Nabbolo]

Hello community!

I have a quite simple question. I update quantities in the database using a PHP script (in ps_stock_available).

 

I would like that after every updated quantity, the script calls one of the hooks that Prestashop uses, for example when I go into a product from back office and click "Save" button.

This is needed to propagate correctly this change to other modules working with quantities.

 

This is a pseudocode of what is done in my script:

<?php

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/config.inc.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../init.php');

acquire_products();

foreach(product) {

update_quantitiy_DB($id_product);

Hook::exec('UpdateProduct', array('product' => $id_product));

}

?>

So each iteration I update the quantity in MySQL for the product ID contained in $product_id, then I would like to execute the hook for that product ID. I have tried many configurations for the argument of Hook::exec() but none of them worked. I get no errors, but I don't get the results that I have when I press the "Save" button in back office. How should it be written?

I have tried with "actionProductUpdate" "actionProductSave" hook as well, but with no success. Any idea?

Have you tried actionUpdateQuantity?

This is needed to propagate correctly this change to other modules working with quantities.

 

How you looked at the modules in question, and actually determine what hooks they are using?

@rocky: yes, I have read all the PS classes in search or hook names to try, and I have tried that too.

 

@bellini13: I looked into the code of my module and looked for the hooks that were handled (registered and handled by a hookNameOfTheHook() function)

 

In the end I managed to get it work. The problem was about the parameter assignment: the ID product must be passed as 'id_product', and not as 'product', so the code to be used it the following:

Hook::exec('updateProduct', array('id_product' => $product_id));
