We decided today it would be beneficial to track when orders have had a packing slip printed by automatically moving them to a different status. I couldn't find an existing hook so I added one to the shop_orders controller. Please either add this event hook to the core, or point me to the proper place to hook this event, Thanks!

Added to modules/shop/controllers/shop_orders.php Line:953, within the packing_slip function, just before setting viewData.

Backend::$events->fireEvent('shop:onPrintPackingSlip', $orders);

My module code:

    public function subscribeEvents() {
		Backend::$events->addEvent('shop:onPrintPackingSlip', $this, 'print_packing_slip');
    }
    public function print_packing_slip($orders) {

		$printed_status = Shop_OrderStatus::create()->find_by_code('printed');

		foreach ($orders as $order) {
			if ($order->status->code == 'paid') {
				Shop_OrderStatusLog::create_record($printed_status->id, $order);
			}
		}
	}

Bump. Currently adding this hook in by hand every time I do a core update.

Thanks!

Hey,

You may consider posting this on the tracker. I have had better luck getting core modifications and bug fixes completed by posting there. I would argue that it is easier for them to find and prioritize than coming through the forum as it is easy to miss something.
