order shipment observer not fired

[agiorgini]

Hi,

I have my own module working correctly: /app/code/Hoop/Contact, now I need to fire sales_order_shipment_save_after event, so in my etc/config.xml I've put:

<sales_order_shipment_save_after>
            <observers>
                <hoop_contact_sales_order_shipment_save_before>
                    <type>singleton</type>
                    <class>hoop_contact/observer</class>
                    <method>filterpaymentmethod</method>
                </hoop_contact_sales_order_shipment_save_before>
            </observers>
        </sales_order_shipment_save_after>

and inside Model/Observer.php I have:

<?php

class Hoop_Contact_Model_Observer {
   public function filterpaymentmethod(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {
        die('test');
   }
}

but it's not fired. I have the feeling the config.xml is somehow wrong, but cannot see the error.

Any hint?

Thanks

That looks about correct. Is sales_order_shipment_save_after within a <global><events> within the config.xml?

Have you flushed configuration cache after adding this to config.xml. This change wouldn't be picked up until cache flush and XML files are then re-read. 

Do you have a generic model class definition further up the file as well? i.e. something like:

    <global>
        <models>
            <hoop_contact>
                <class>Hoop_Contact_Model</class>
            </hoop_contact>

Just a note, you've hooked onto the "after" event but have named your observer "after". That might get confusing at some point so worth updating.

Try the below code: 

<sales_order_shipment_save_after>
    <observers>
        <hoop_contact_sales_order_shipment_save_after>
            <type>singleton</type>
            <class>hoop_contact/observer</class>
            <method>filterpaymentmethod</method>
        </hoop_contact_sales_order_shipment_save_after>
    </observers>
</sales_order_shipment_save_after>
