magento custom order attribute value not saving

I created an attribute for order and quote using installer script. Those can be seen in the entity_attribute table. In the checkout i want to set value and save it with the order. I created an event and observer function. But value wont saving. Any help please.

config.xml

<sales_order_save_after>
                <observers>
                    <clickandcollect_save_location_orderattributes>
                        <type>model</type>
                        <class>Balance_Clickandcollect_Model_Observer</class>
                        <method>saveLocationOrderattributes</method>
                    </clickandcollect_save_location_orderattributes>
                </observers>
</sales_order_save_after>

Observer.php

public function saveLocationOrderattributes($observer){
        $event = $observer->getEvent();
        $order = $event->getOrder();
        //$quote = $event->getQuote();
        $order->setLocation('1');
}

Can anyone please help me to solve this. I cannot understand where did i make mistake.

Thank you

Your order->save() goes back to sales_order_save_after and makes an infinite loop. Try this, I added a registry key so it won't save the attribute and order after your order->save() call

public function saveLocationOrderattributes($observer){
        if(!Mage::registry('afterOrderSave'))
        {
            Mage::register('afterOrderSave');
            $event = $observer->getEvent();
            $order = $event->getOrder();
            $order->setLocation('1');
            $order->save();
        }
    }

i think you are missing save method

you must have to change your observer code as below

public function saveLocationOrderattributes($observer){
        $event = $observer->getEvent();
        $order = $event->getOrder();
        //$quote = $event->getQuote();

       //or load the order
        $order_id = $order->getId();
        $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($order_id);
        $order->setLocation('1');
        $order->save();

}

so it will save your order updated value.

hope this will help you
