Hook pre/post in pledge changed status

Question

On 5.6.0

• After create a pledge.
• If is created a new contribution that change the status of the pledge from "Pending" to "Completed" is not incoming in any hook_civicrm_post or hook_civicrm_pre with objectName equal to "Pledge" or "PledgePayment"

Which is the correct way to update the pledge programmatically?

Answer 1

I see this line in CRM_Contribute_BAO_Contribution:

//update pledge and pledge payment, CRM-3961
CRM_Pledge_BAO_PledgePayment::resetPledgePayment($id);

Looking at CRM_Pledge_BAO_PledgePayment::resetPledgePayment(), I see it calls the DAO method, not the BAO - which is why the hooks (which ARE present) are bypassed.

I think this would be a good enhancement for core CiviCRM. CRM_Pledge_BAO_PledgePayment::resetPledgePayment() is a very short function, which could be easily refactored to instantiate the PledgePayment BAO instead of DAO, and call the add() or create() method instead of commit(). This would cause your hooks to fire.
