[Free Module] Order Reference | Change order reference to a custom number with variables

[muynck 11]

Hi PrestaShop-merchants,

I have created a module for solving a age old problem: changing the order reference into something meaning full. The random string of characters is not a preferred order reference for most merchants.

You can use variables to fill the order reference with, like $cart->id, $order->id, $shop->name, or a combination of those. You can use any variable from several PrestaShop Objects (main classes). For a more detailed explanation checkout: https://github.com/blauwfruit/orderreference

See the latest releases: https://github.com/blauwfruit/orderreference/releases

Give me your opinion! Thanks!

Thanks

Works great but what if I want permanent string or digit in the begining and order nummer with 4 preceding zeroes? For example 2020  or  ABC. This doesnt work:

2020{order->id:%04d} - 20200001,20200002,20200003,..

ABC{order->id:%04d}  - ABC0001,ABC0002,ABC0003,..

 

Thanks for answer.

{2020}{order->id:%04d} 

{ABC}{order->id:%04d}

@nekromantik that is a good solution! I added it to the documentation: https://github.com/blauwfruit/PrestaShop-Order-Reference

Hello! Could you advice, how get this kind of format?

[order date}_[random unique number of 3 digits]

for example:

2020-07-10_678

for example:

2020-07-10_678

{order->date_add:%10.10s}{_}{cart->id:%03d} = 2020-07-10_678

{order->date_add:%7.7s}{_}{cart->id:%03d} = 2020-07_678

{order->date_add:%4.4s}{_}{cart->id:%03d} = 2020_678

If your PS create more than 999 carts, then the 3 last numbers would be increase to 4 in order to fit 1000 and so on.

At the moment a random number is not really possible. Can you create an issue to do this feature request? You can do this here: https://github.com/blauwfruit/PrestaShop-Order-Reference/issues

Great modul and thanks for it.

Questions:

1. Can I add a new starting number
e.x I want that my id start at 200
How can I do it?

2. e.x XYZ202100200 - starting at 200

This string:  {XYZ}{order->date_add:%4.4s}{order->id:%05d}
Right??

What would be the string for the year 21 instead of 2021

Thanks for some help and feedback!

[muynck 11]

Good one. That is not yet possible. I created an issue here: https://github.com/blauwfruit/PrestaShop-Order-Reference/issues/1

 

We don't have time to solve it. If you have a solution, you can create a pull request.

Ok.

But sorry I am not a coder, so I also don´t know.

Maybe someone will do it in the future.

In any case, great work from you and thanks for the modul!!!
