Hi jx,

do you still want it to be a random letter combination??

The creation of a reference is done in Function generateReference(), which is located in classes/Order/Order.php:

 

public static function generateReference()

{

return strtoupper(Tools::passwdGen(9, 'NO_NUMERIC'));  // Change to 15

}

 

Which uses the function passwdGen from file classes/tools.php:

 

public static function passwdGen($length = 8, $flag = 'ALPHANUMERIC')

{

switch ($flag)

{

case 'NUMERIC':

 $str = '0123456789';

 break;

case 'NO_NUMERIC':

 $str = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';

 break;

default:

 $str = 'abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';

 break;

}

 

for ($i = 0, $passwd = ''; $i < $length; $i++)

 $passwd .= Tools::substr($str, mt_rand(0, Tools::strlen($str) - 1), 1);

 return $passwd;

}

 

You're lucky, the reference field is a varchar(32), so making it longer to 15 is no problem in the database. Only check the screens/PDF's etc if it still fits on the lines..
