Create a new order status

[AdamalX2]

Sorry if this has been asked before.  I couldn't find it by searching google or the forums.

 

Is there a way to install an order status on install of a payment module?  Where can I find documentation or example code.

 

Also when creating a custom order status can you specify a custom email template within the module?

 

Thanks In advance.

You can add a custom function in your module to add the order state and call it with the install function.

 

public function install() { ......... $this->addOrderState($this->l('Name of new state')) && ..........}

 

public function addOrderState($name)

    {

        $state_exist = false;

        $states = OrderState::getOrderStates((int)$this->context->language->id);

 

        // check if order state exist

        foreach ($states as $state) {

            if (in_array($name, $state)) {

                $state_exist = true;

                break;

            }

        }

 

        // If the state does not exist, we create it.

        if (!$state_exist) {

            // create new order state

            $order_state = new OrderState();

            $order_state->color = '#00ffff';

            $order_state->send_email = true;

            $order_state->module_name = 'name if your module';

            $order_state->template = 'name of your email template';

            $order_state->name = array();

            $languages = Language::getLanguages(false);

            foreach ($languages as $language)

                $order_state->name[ $language['id_lang'] ] = $name;

 

            // Update object

            $order_state->add();

        }

 

        return true;

    }

 

I think it should work.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot tonight.
