Addin prefix to order reference (question)

[LauraPresta]

Hello guyz,

Just a little question, and i make some description because i know it will intrest some other people

 

I need to add a prefix to order reference for exemple : PREKLKLKLKLK instead of original KLKLKLKLK reference

 

i changed generateReference (in class order/order.php) to :

    public static function generateReference()
    {
        $temp = strtoupper(Tools::passwdGen(9, 'NO_NUMERIC'));
        return ('PRE'.$temp);
    }

 

and in DB table order i had to change 'reference' structure from 

varchar(9)

 to 

varchar(12)

 

At first look everything work nice, but do you think i may have some trouble in the future ? (for any reason i could'nt discover right now ?)

damn i was so sure

 

Property OrderPayment->order_reference length (11) must be between 0 and 9
