Executing custom Web service after completion

Hi. I hope this is in the right forum. I have purchased the document seller along with the Auth Net SIM payment plugin. I am selling a software component that is licensed. The licensing product I purchased allows for license files to be generated by calling a web service. I would like to execute the web service after a successful checkout by passing in some customer information that was entered during the checkout process.

It doesn't look like it is possible with a configuration change. My question is where in the code should I place a call to my web service? Or if there are any other options, I'm open.

Thanks,
Craig

Hi

The simplest way is modifing the file authorize.net SIM plugin directly to call the web service. The step is:

1. Open the file components/com_dms/payments/os_authnetsim.php, looks at the code at verifyPayment() function, and add the code to call webservice after the line of code :

You can access to any customer information via $row object. For example :

$row->first_name => Customer First Name

$row->last_name => Customer Last Name


The second solution is writing a plugin for DMS processing onAfterPaymentSuccess but it is difficult. So I think you should go with the solution I suggested above !

Hi. Thanks for the info. I have found the place in the code to call the web service. Me being a .NET guy will have to learn a little PHP, so I'll report back my results.

Thanks again.

OK Craig

If you need more help, please don't hesitate to ask !

Hi Tuan,

I finally got it going. I ended up using the nusoap client to make the call to my web service.

Pretty simple in the end, but took me a while to get the call just right.

Thanks for your help.
