Orders – buyer and seller.

Hi there,
I am using marketpress 2.9.5.3 on a multisite set up.

I need to do a couple of things each time an order is processed.

When a new user is created:
1) I need to insert into their meta data a value (let us call it X).

At the time every order is completed:
1) For the buyer, I need to update X in their meta data.
2) For the seller I need to update X in their meta data.

I am happy to use the following method:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_user_meta
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_user_meta

What I would like to know is where can I pick up the user id for the seller and for the buyer from?

Thanks
Sausage.

I am trying to find my way through this, for example, I have looked at: Themeing_MarketPress.txt and also template-functions.php to see if I can get any clues.

It suggests to me that the page I want could be mp_cart.php however, I cannot find that in my 2.9.5.3.

– I have been through each directory, and searched for that file mp_cart.php. I did check that Windows searches for php files (file contents and filename) and that the parent directory was included in the search index. I was unable to find my_cart.pho.

Hi there @sausagecreature,

Thanks for posting here, really appreciate your patience too as we’ve had quite a busy spell recently!

I think what you’re looking to achieve may be possible by simply tying into the cart processed like noted here:

Does that sound about right?

If I’ve misunderstood or you have questions, just let me know. I’ll be happy to see how I can help. 🙂

Cheers,
David

Thanks, it certainly helps a bit with getting this started :)and I have hooked into that function and can make the db updates I need to.

I still need to figure out how to differentiate between the buyer and the seller within the code. I have the
“Force login – Whether or not customers must be registered and logged in to checkout”
set to yes. So this means that there should presumably be two user IDs I can access in the code, one is the buyer, and looking at the code I imagine this is the $user_id.

Any ideas how I get the user_id of the store owner/seller?

many thanks
Mark
