I'm trying to hook into the sales_order_place_after method in my observer and save information about the just placed order into a new database table. I'm able to hook into the event successfully, but when I try to access the order object, I keep getting the error User Error: Some transactions have not been committed or rolled back.

This is my config.xml:

 <sales_order_place_after> <observers> <myaction_save_order> <type>singleton</type> <class>mymodule/observer</class> <method>saveOrderIdToAttendees</method> </myaction_save_order> </observers> </sales_order_place_after>

This works fine. The problem I'm getting is in my observer:

public function saveOrderIdToAttendees($observer) { $this->getHelper()->log('Helloooo'); $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder(); $this->getHelper()->log($order); }

For some reason I don't even have access to the getEvent() method. I've tried logging just the $observer->getEvent() object and that gives me the same error.

I suggest the event checkout_submit_all_after in this case. As far as a I know sales_order_place_after is triggered when you have placed an order using Multishipping but checkout_submit_all_after will always get triggered.

<global> <events> <checkout_submit_all_after> <observers> <myaction_save_order> <class>mymodule/observer</class> <method>saveOrderIdToAttendees</method> </myaction_save_order> </observers> </checkout_submit_all_after> </events> </global>

and use 

 $order = $observer->getEvent()->getData('order');

  • Thank you! This worked for me. Just curious, is there any particular reason to take out the <type>singleton</type>? Commented Oct 8, 2014 at 16:58

  • @AmitBera will this event only trigger after payment process? Commented Jul 30, 2015 at 6:38

Sounds like the observer is called before the order is actually saved to the database. Try sales_order_save_commit_after for an event which is called after the MySQL transaction has been completed.
