I’ve RTFM’ed so many times and can’t figure out what’s wrong.

[root@VO12044 etc]# cat config.xml

0.1.0

MyCompany_MyModule_Helper

<!– –>

model
MyCompany_MyModule_Helper_MyFunction
setMyFuction

in app/code/local/MyCompany/MyModule/Helper

[root@VO12044 Helper]# cat MyFunction.php
getEvent()->getOrder();
foreach ($order->getAllItems() as $item) {
$fname = ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].’orders.txt’);
$fhandle = fopen($fname,”a”);
fwrite($fhandle,$item);
fwrite($fhandle,”BLAH”);
fclose($fhandle);
//echo $order->getStatus();
//echo $content;

}

//$event = $observer->getEvent();
//$order = $event->getOrder();
//$customer = $event->getCustomer();

//file_put_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].’/_db_backups/array.txt’, serialize(base64_encode($order)));
//return;
}
}
//

I can’t figure out what im doing wrong. HALP!

For example, the code looks for a qty in the itemInfo, $itemInfo['qty'] in your observer you could check if the requested new qty is allowable, and if it is not, set it to the old value, which you could get the same way the cart object does; $item = $this->getQuote()->getItemById($itemId); except $this would be your observer, so you’d want to call that function on the cart parameter to the observer. Does that make sense?

You could even set a session message in your observer like “Sorry the requested quantity of that product is not available” to be friendly to your users.

Is it possible to stop the parent method from running from within an event method? or to pass data to the parent event?

Ie. I want to use checkout_cart_update_items_before to check a reserved quantity db field (changing the update quantity if not available) – is that possible or should I just override the core class instead?

Your help would be much appreciated!
