  Hi,

  Great blog !!! I tried to contact you about magento and possible partnershp, but your sendmail.php is missing 404, so the contact form does not work at all. Please drop me an email,

  thanks,

  Replace
  $shipment = $observer->getEvent()->getShipment();

  with
  $shipment = $observer->getShipment();

  I trying the same code:

  public function salesOrderShipmentSaveBefore($observer)
  {
  $shipment = $observer->getEvent()->getShipment();
  $track = Mage::getModel(‘sales/order_shipment_track’)
  ->setNumber(‘824343454454’) //tracking number / awb number
  ->setCarrierCode(‘aramex’) //carrier code
  ->setTitle(‘Aramex’); //carrier title
  $shipment->addTrack($track);
  }

  But Carrier Code is changing to aramex it is always “custom value” …
