I have an observer (checkout_cart_product_add_after) and would like to get the selected custom options array.
I have found the two elements I require in:
app/design/frontend/MY-THEME/default/template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml
Which are:
1. $_item = $this->getItem(); 2. $_options = $this->getOptionList();
I just don't know how to get them in an observer i.e. what else I have to call.
Thanks in advance!!
please go to the following url

Observers always start returning data from their respective "events".
So in your case you have to first get checkout-quote object in your observer's function code using below line:
$quote = $observer->getEvent()->getQuote();
Then you can get custom options for each item in items collection from the quote like below:
$quoteItems = $quote->getAllItems();
$helper = Mage::helper('catalog/product_configuration');
foreach ($quoteItems as $item) {
$product = $item->getProduct();
$options = $helper->getCustomOptions($item);
//do anything with $options.
}
Try this. hope it helps.
