Adding special function when order is placed

[mc12345678]

Are you in the order class or in your observer when trying to use that product data?
There's a lot of other information that would help at least someone else... I mean, you may need to recreate the $order or use/deal with the stored order_id to pull the data again.
But basically posting your current code and/or a thorough explanation of what you're wanting to do makes it easier to provide additional guidance.

In my earlier post I updated the processProducts() function to loop through $order->products. That is an array of all the products in the current order. The comments I posted in the code in an even earlier post contain links to github where the Order class prepares the array, so you can understand what elements are available inside each product when iterating through the $order->products array.

As mc12345678 said, it would be easier if you would write out in english all of what you want the code to do.

We have a restaurant that sells food and we need to handle his food order that comes in, we need to put a time frame on those items so those items can only be ordered at certain times. Then we need to email the owner of those items that end up in the cart. Do you know anyone who could help us even if they charge for it?

I have gotten everything else I need to work work. But I can't get the attributes to pull I have tried the following.

$product->attributes['option']
$product->attribute['option']

$order->products->attributes['option']
$order->products->attribute['option']

$product['attributes']['option']

$product['option']

$order->product['option']
$order->products['option']

$product->products['option']
$product->product['option']

foreach ($order->products as $product) {

// Option:       $product['attributes']['option']
// Option Value: $product['attributes']['value']
// Option ID:    $product['attributes']['option_id']
// Value ID:     $product['attributes']['value_id']
// Price:        $product['attributes']['price']
// Is Free:      $product['attributes']['product_attribute_is_free']

}

If you need to look up more information about the attribute, you may have to query the db using the option/value id and the product id.

I have tried these but they do not pull the attributes.

I'm having trouble visualizing what actually "is" happening. Care to enlighten?

I am trying to email the attributes when a product is bought.

            // Attributes
            $product['attributes']['option'] . 
            "\n" . 
            $product['attributes']['value'] . 

But this does not show the attributes in the email, and yes I have double-checked I have added an attribute to the product.

There's actually another loop that is missing unfortunately:

foreach ($order->products as $product) {

// Option:       $product['attributes'][$attr_index]['option']
// Option Value: $product['attributes'][$attr_index]['value']
// Option ID:    $product['attributes'][$attr_index]['option_id']
// Value ID:     $product['attributes'][$attr_index]['value_id']
// Price:        $product['attributes'][$attr_index]['price']
// Is Free:      $product['attributes'][$attr_index]['product_attribute_is_free']

}

So:

foreach ($order->products as $product) {
    if (!empty($product['attributes'])) {
        foreach ($product['attributes'] as $attribute) {
            // Option:       $attribute['option']
            // Option Value: $attribute['value']
            // Option ID:    $attribute['option_id']
            // Value ID:     $attribute['value_id']
            // Price:        $attribute['price']
            // Is Free:      $attribute['product_attribute_is_free']
        }
    }
}

I would like to note that determining what the data layout is can be accomplished a number of ways. I prefer to send the results of print_r($arrayVariable, true) to whatever is to be used for reviewing the results... I often will write a debug log to contain the data (assuming that I don't expect a significant number of logs or entries to be made.

So I might do something like:

foreach ($order->products as $product) {

trigger_error('product data: ' . print_r($product, true), E_USER_WARNING);

    if (!empty($product['attributes'])) {
        foreach ($product['attributes'] as $attribute) {
            // Option:       $attribute['option']
            // Option Value: $attribute['value']
            // Option ID:    $attribute['option_id']
            // Value ID:     $attribute['value_id']
            // Price:        $attribute['price']
            // Is Free:      $attribute['product_attribute_is_free']
        }
    }
}

That is if I didn't find more within the associated class. In this case it would be related to the code at and around: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/b...order.php#L216

In this line the array data is captured/assigned by: $this->products[$index]['attributes'][$subindex] = array(

This indicates that there is another array key between ['attributes'] and the desired key(s).
