checkout_cart_add_product_complete not working for programmatically added product

Question

In my magento store, I have a script to add product programmatically in cart using below code :

$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
$cart->init();
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$params = array(    
        'product' => $_product->getId(),
        'qty' => $qty,
        'options' =>'',
        'form_key' => Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey()              
    );

$cart->addProduct($_product, $params);
$cart->save();

For this item checkout_cart_add_product_complete event not fired.

However the checkout_cart_add_product_complete event is working nice while adding a product to cart from a catalog.

Is there any other event in magento which fire on programmatically add product (similar to checkout_cart_add_product_complete)?

Answer 1

You can dispatch your custom event after you code.

$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
$cart->init();
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$params = array(    
    'product' => $_product->getId(),
    'qty' => $qty,
    'options' =>'',
    'form_key' => Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey()              
);

$cart->addProduct($_product, $params);
$cart->save();
/***My Custom Event***/    
    Mage::dispatchEvent('custom_cart_add_product_event',array('product' => $_product));
/***My Custom Event***/ 

Now just like magento event you can use that.

Answer 2

If you check app\code\core\Mage\Checkout\controllers\CartController.php::addAction, you will see that the event is fired using below code,

Mage::dispatchEvent('checkout_cart_add_product_complete',
                array('product' => $product, 'request' => $this->getRequest(), 'response' => $this->getResponse())
);

So, to call the event, you have to use the same code in your function after you save cart.

Answer 3

Replace your code with this :

$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
$cart->init();
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$params = array(    
        'product' => $_product->getId(),
        'qty' => $qty,
        'options' =>'',
        'form_key' => Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey()              
    );

$cart->addProduct($_product, $params);
$cart->save();
