[FREE MODULE] Numeric order reference

[Daresh]

Changes the order reference from a random string to a random number or order ID.

This module was used by many shops, but deleted some time ago from this forum by one nasty user.

People keep asking me for it, so here it is reuploaded.

Still works for Prestashop 1.6, 1.7 and 8.0.

gmnumeric_v_1_2_0.zip

New version - to make sure the new override is applied, I recommend to reinstall and reconfigure the module.

Hello, thank you for the module, it works great, but it messes up my Email order confirmation template.
it looks kind a messy in sent e-mail.

What is the name of the template so I could change it. I looked all available templates but couldn't find this one.
 

Any ideas?

Thank you very much

That's not possible, the module has nothing to do with email templates, it must be a coincidence.

[Roych]

Ok, I guess you are right. I'll look into it.

Thank you

I had a problem with this module. It happened after I had moved my shop to another server (both PHP 8.1).

On the new server you could pay for an order. But the cart was never converted into an order. Instead the software hang and got a timeout after you paid.

On analysis it turned out that the problem was in the function validateOrder() in /classes/module/PaymentModule.php.

It turned out that the following code had become an eternal loop:

            do {
                $reference = Order::generateReference();
            } while (Order::getByReference($reference)->count());

Order::generateReference(); always returned the number of the last order.

This was with Thirty Bees 1.4.

Check out version 1.2.1, it should have it covered.

[musicmaster]

It works. Thanks!

Why is the module is not available anymore?

 

[Daresh]

It is available, but probably to download files from the forum you need to have some minimum post count.

[koedben]

Thanks...I didn't know....so of writing some posts;-)

For 8.1.6 @Daresh your module totallly blocking checkout, not possible to order.

[Daresh]

Works completely fine on my 8.1.7, must be something specific to your shop.

Hello @Daresh, its possible to make it start in a specific order number ?

Thanks

[Daresh]

The simplest solution is to set the AUTO_INCREMENT value in the database for the ps_orders table to one that you like, and then set the module to make the order reference the same as order ID.

Hi ,

Is it possible to determine the number of random numbers in this module? 

Thank you

[Daresh]

Hi,

yes, it is 1000000000.

[hadi1404]

My mean is instead of 10 characters, we can use a smaller number. For example, 5 characters

Great module but it will better if order dates comes before order ID as reference id.

Hello Daresh,

thank you for your module. Is there any update? I would by happy if there will be function like (y) for current year in prefix field...etc. thank you

[Daresh]

In this module I stick to the safe number of characters for order reference, which is 9. So adding dates and other long prefixes may not leave anough room for the reference to be unique.
