you should to set order status "canceled" from hook. But you should to define in which place. i guess on checkout/success page...is it?

add function in your hook class something like this

Code Select Expand


public function onControllerPagesCheckoutSuccess_InitData() {

//ask remote server about payer
$result = .....

//update order status based on outcome
                $that->loadModel('checkout/order');
                if (!$result)) {
                        $message = 'Attention! Order #'.$order_id.' was flagged as fraudulent' . "\n\n" . $message;
                        $that->model_checkout_order->update($order_id, $order_status, $message, FALSE);
                        //send email to store owner
                        $mail = new AMail();
                        $mail->setSubject($message);
                        $mail->setTo($this->config->get('store_main_email'));
                        $mail->setText($message);
                        $mail->send();
                }
}

Hi abolabo, thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I can't get it working. Can you point out what I done it wrongly?

I got my extension at /extensions/antifraudster/storefront/controller/responses/extension/antifraudster.php"

<?php
if (!defined('DIR_CORE')) {
   header('Location: static_pages/');
}

class ControllerResponsesExtensionAntiFraudster extends AController {

   public function main() {}

   public function onControllerPagesCheckoutSuccess_InitData() {
      $that->loadModel('checkout/order');

      $order_info = $this->model_checkout_order->getOrder($this->session->data['order_id']);

      if($order_info['payment_country'] == 'NG') {
         die('Fraud detected!');
      }
   }
}
?>

[abolabo]

you should to add

Code Select Expand

$that = $this->baseObject;

and replace

Code Select Expand

$this->model_checkout_order->

to

Code Select Expand

$that->model_checkout_order->

That's weird. I still cannot trigger the checking. Am I missing something? 

[abolabo]

Am I missing something? 

yes. you missed $that = $this->baseObject;

$this->baseObject is instance of controller class that you tried to hook. use it for calls of model etc
