Enable Numeric order reference

[White Lion]

Hello all members.

I'd like to use "Numeric Order Reference" with my prestashop store.

Alphabetical order id, like "ZXCRGDSNK" is like a word. Most of my customer think that shoud be a number.

I used below method to change "Alphabetical Order Reference" to "Numeric Order Reference" with my prestashop store runs on v 1.5.3.1

Fdit the file " /classes/order/Order.php ", and edit the line like below.

return strtoupper (Tools :: passwdGen (9 'NO_NUMERIC'));
to:
return strtoupper (Tools :: passwdGen (9 'NUMERIC'));

Few days ago I've upgraded my store to PS v1.6 and used same method.
It is working correctly.

But most of Prestashop experts told me, "Do not edit CORE FILES". Use "override".

I tried to do "override".

I've edited " /classes/order/Order.php " line 1522 and move that file to " /override/classes/order/Order.php".

But it is not working correctly.

Please tell me the correct "override" method to change "Alphabetical Order Reference" to "Numeric Order Reference"

You can do it yourself, but this module I made does exactly what you said: Download Link

 

You can look at the code itself on how to perform an override via module. In case you don't want to do it via module (even though it's more easily managed via module since you can uninstall) you just place the file in the override folder, make sure you use the right class name and extend the …Core class with the same name.
