This was very useful, but I just need one more small bit of information. I want to add status comment too while checkout process. The Status comment history is managed in Magento. I want to add a comment while I do $checkout->saveOrder();

is it possible ?

The error says: “Fatal error: Cannot use object of type Mage_Checkout_Model_Type_Onepage as array in /home/leesavo/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php on line 338″

login(‘*****’, ‘*****’);
require_once (“../app/Mage.php”);
$model = Mage::app(‘default’);

$email = ‘*******’;
$customer = Mage::getModel(‘customer/customer’);
$customer->setWebsiteId($model->getWebsite()->getId());
$customer->loadByEmail($email);
Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->loginById($customer->getId());

$cart = Mage::getModel(‘checkout/cart’);
//$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();

$checkout = Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/type_onepage’);
//$checkout->initCheckout();
//$checkout->saveCheckoutMethod(‘register’);
//$checkout->saveShippingMethod(‘flatrate_flatrate’);
//$checkout->savePayment(array(‘method’=>’checkmo’));
//try {
// $checkout->saveOrder();
//}
//catch (Exception $ex) {
// echo $ex->getMessage();
//}

/* Clear the cart */
//$cart->truncate();
//$cart->save();
//$cart->getItems()->clear()->save();

/* Logout the customer you created */
//Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->logout();
?>

There is some stuff commented out, but it errors out at the same line regardless. I am extraordinarily new at this and would appreciate any help.

error log says that “gender” column is not to be found.
It’s disabled in the backend so it makes no sense

$checkout->getQuote()->getPayment()->importData($payment);

Where $payment is the payment POST data.

thanks in advance

thanks for the fast reply! to check the order-id is a good idea … it came up to my mind also, after writing the comment. it will catch the second case. in the first one there was a proper id … don’t know how this could happen and i cannot reproduce it. maybe just a strange coincidence that won’t happen again.

barring a more elegant solution, perhaps an if( ) statement to check for a null order id?

I roughly used the lines from kris’ comment to realize my checkout. This worked fine for three month since yesterday. Since then I got two double-orders. The first time with two following order-ids, the same products in each and confirmation emails sent out in the same second. The second time only the first confirmation had an order-id, the second had none, no products and was sent one second later.

I could reproduce the second case by opening two carts and starting two parallel checkouts.

Anyone to whom this sounds familiar? Any suggestions?

Thankyou very much for these guides and sample code, they are priceless!

I know this is also a little off topic but fits in with the general theme of this post…

I need to add an extra stage to the magento onepage checkout module. How would I go about adding an additional stage on the end of the onecheckout feature in the local repos rather than modifying the core section?

That page i want to change. if u have any idea then tell me please it is very important for me.

Thanks,
Kartik
