Question Does anyone have an idea on how to use the PHP callback function?

[randydrew6]

I want to update an external database when a certain item is purchased with points, I know I can probably achieve this with the item's callback function but how exactly does one go about using that? Xenforo 1.5.4 btw

I just need an idea where to put the class code and method mainly, like what php file does it go into?

The location is determined by what you enter there. In XF1, entering f.ex. DBTech_Shop_Something_Else would mean /library/DBTech/Shop/Something/Else.php with the class name Else.

Sorry I am still kind of confused, would you give me an example of what it would look like? Would your example have this inputted?

 

[Fillip H.]

No. The first of the two fields is the class name, the second field is the method name.

DBTech_Shop_Something_Else :: someMethod

Would mean a method named someMethod in the aforementioned class file, and it must be static.

Im sorry I been trying for hours to figure this out, maybe I'm missing something. I set the callback as "DBTech_Shop_Memberships_monthly::OneMonthSupporter" and I created a file under the location "/library/DBTech/Shop/Memberships/monthly.php" in that file I have this:

<?php
class monthly
{
    static function OneMonthSupporter(array &$buyer, $purchaseId, array $purchaseInfo)
    {
        $userUpgradeModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_UserUpgrade');
        $userUpgradeModel->upgradeUser(4, getUserUpgradeById(8), true, null);
    }
}
?>

But it seems like it never actually runs through it, I notice if I put an error in it then it won't load but if I just put that it doesn't upgrade user 4 to upgrade 8. I've tried manually setting up the array and still nothing

Do you have any idea as to why it isn't upgrading the user with id 4?

My guess would be that getUserUpgradeById is not a global function and it's not being called correctly.
