wp_mail('john-henry@dieselbrook.co.za', 'test object', $payment_object); //this doesn't work, meaning that it can't find the data

You’re passing the payment_object to wp_mail, not the event_id.

So:

wp_mail('john-henry@dieselbrook.co.za', 'test object', $event_id);

Would be an email containing the event id.

Also:

$payment_object = $payment instanceof EE_Payment ? $payment : null;

If for some reason $payment wasn’t an instance of EE_Payment, your going to get fatal errors as your function then runs methods on null below…

$event = $payment_object->get_first_event();

If $payment_object is null, fatal error.

So rather than setting the var as null, return instead:

if( ! $payment_object instanceof EE_Payment ) {
    //get out, you don't have an EE_Payment object to work with.
    return;
}

Thanks, but I only added that so that I can debug as I can’t use logs or the console to generate output.

Sure you can, you can use a little function like this: http://www.stumiller.me/sending-output-to-the-wordpress-debug-log/

Add this snippet to your wp-config.php file:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-checklist/#wpdebug

The write_log function then writes whatever you pass it to /wp-content/debug.log

I opened a ticket earlier, in which someone told me that the format of the object data has changed from an example that I was working from (custom shortcode in the messages).

That’s was me and it only applied to the messages system and my example code, to provide more context, the $extra_data var was just a single object, and it was usually the EE_Attendee object, now $extra_data is an array in which one of the elements will usually be an EE_Attendee object, but there could be more elements in the array to be used as… well, extra data 🙂

I’m using your code in WP console and replicating it by pulling in an EE Transaction, then pulling a payment from that transaction so I have the same objects you should have – http://take.ms/ljJNB

That works and emails me the object and event_id – http://take.ms/ZXTzV

I then hooked into AHEE__EE_Payment_Processor__update_txn_based_on_payment__successful with your function and ran a registration using Stripe, the result was another set of emails containing the data – http://take.ms/T6dWO (Note the ID’s are different as it’s a new transaction/payment)

So the code you are using above seems to be working fine?

Which payment method are you using to complete the payment?

When you say it doesn’t work, what is happening? What emails do you receive?

But this still isn’t working, even though it is a public method.

What isn’t working? Are you getting a blank email or nothing at all?

Are you applying a payment from within the admin now or using an online payment method?

So I wouldn’t necessarily know the ID of the transaction.

I’m not sure why you would need to know the transaction ID, but if you have the transaction object you have the transaction ID.

I saw in your code that you called the transaction via its ID in line 6.

I’m pulling a Transaction by ID so that I have a Transaction in the console, I’m replicating the object you have available on that hook, this was my previous reply:

You don’t need to know the ID, you already have the transaction object passed to the hook.

I am currently using a payment gateway, not from the admin itself (but the hook still gets called, as tested from my previous code).

Which payment gateway?

Add the write_log function I gave you above to either, enable WP_Debug using the snippet I gave you and then add:

write_log($payment); (just above your EE_Payment conditional)

write_log($event); (just after you’ve create $event)

write_log($event_id); (just after you’ve created $event_id)

before the email is sent, retest and check the debug.log file to see if you have the objects written to the log.

There are too many unknowns in your code right now, you don’t know if if ($payment instanceof EE_Payment) is failing, if the wp_mail() call is failing or even if if ($payment instanceof EE_Payment) is passing and then there’s a fatal after that.

In short, break down your code and check each variable as you run through to find what is actually being run and what they contain before you use them, right now you don’t know if the email is sent or not and just that it doesn’t work, you need to narrow that down to the specific area that fails because the above is working for me.

Great! I’m glad it’s working for you 🙂

I’d recommend always using the latest version of EE, we update with new features and bug fixes etc little and often.
