How to convert quote attribute to order in Magento?

Question

I've spent two days on this, I feel like I've tried everything,still I keep hitting the wall. I've got two attributes (module_job_id, module_channel_id) that I'd love to add to quote and order. Where I managed to get is that the quote attributes work fine, I can see them stored in database and they can be retrieved fine. The only thing left is moving the values across from quote to order. What am I doing wrong? Here's my module config file: ``` 0.1.9 * * Company_Module Mage_Sales_Model_Mysql4_Setup core_setup …

On Magento 1.6.2.0, Orders are saved on sales_flat_order & Quotes are saved on sales_flat_quote. They don't use the eav structure anymore AFAIK so I would say it's OK. You should take a look at class Mage_Sales_Model_Convert_Quote and add a debug code :

```
public function toOrder(Mage_Sales_Model_Quote $quote, $order=null)
{
    if (!($order instanceof Mage_Sales_Model_Order)) {
        $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order');
    }
    /* @var $order Mage_Sales_Model_Order */

$order->setIncrementId($quote->getReservedOrderId())
        ->setStoreId($quote->getStoreId())
        ->setQuoteId($quote->getId())
        ->setQuote($quote)
        ->setCustomer($quote->getCustomer());

Mage::helper('core')->copyFieldset('sales_convert_quote', 'to_order', $quote, $order);

Mage::dispatchEvent('sales_convert_quote_to_order', array('order'=>$order, 'quote'=>$quote));

//I add my debug code here using Mage::log, you can debug using your own method
    Mage::log($order->getData());

return $order;
}
```

To see whether the module_job_id and module_channel_id were set there.
