Product reference code

[nothing.to.see]

Hi,

 

Is there any way to generate product reference code automatically on adding product page? I need to create reference code with prefix and it should be auto-incremented.

example: 

 

Shoes: SHO-0001, SHO-0002

Gloves: GLO-0001. GLO-0002

 

Or something like that. We can do that manually but it is not healthy way. I think there should be another "better" solution.

Any idea would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I can imagine to create a very simple module which listens to the actionProductAdd hook and fills non-empty reference.

Thank you tuk66,

 

I found a little script like that: 

<script>
function gerar(){
if(document.getElementById('reference').value == '') {
hoje = new Date()
dia = hoje.getDate()
mes = hoje.getMonth()
ano = hoje.getFullYear()
hora = hoje.getHours();
minutos = hoje.getMinutes();
segundos =  hoje.getSeconds();
if (dia < 10)
dia = "0" + dia;
mes++;
if (hora < 10)
hora = "0" + hora;
if (minutos < 10)
minutos = "0" + minutos;
if (segundos < 10)
segundos = "0" + segundos;
document.getElementById('reference').value = ano+''+dia+''+mes+''+segundos+''+hora+''+minutos;
}
}
window.onload = gerar();
</script>

But i don't know how to create new module and how to integrate :/

There are many free modules, even built-in ones. It is not so tough to adapt a module.

in fact its a .js script only so you dont have to use module

you can use it in some .js script that is loaded on product edit page :-)

We need also that Prestashop are able to auto generate a reference number when you create a new product. Of course the system should not create any duplicate.
