[davee]

Hi !

I Looking solution for this problem.:
The order ID look like this:
First order : order Nr.1
2nd order : order Nr.2
Third order : Order Nr.3
ect....ect...
I need this ID randomly ( for example 15424265 next 13752452 ...next 142652875 ect..ect..),because the concurrency can test and see the business traffic of our shop.

Thank You!

Best Regards.

Hi there
Random numbers will not work since the database uses auto increment. That is that the next number will always be incremented by one. What you could do is to change the order number to a number you prefer eg 1,000 or even set a higher number every month or something. To change the number manually change it via phpmyadmin in zen_orders to the number you want eg 1000 and the next order would be 1001 then delete the number you inserted.

Thank You!

I think better if i changed the php templates and email forms do not send and see the order ID.

Thanks.

So you're not going to let your customers know their order id? How are they supposed to communicate with you about their order? And will real customers be happy with this? Will your competitors be making fake orders to check on your traffic? Who's more important, your customers or your competitors?

Another thing IF your compitetion is looking at your sales,
they will have to spend their own money to do so, also if they are looking then you are doing enough business to make em nervous.


Who cares what your comp thinks,

I need to do what WolfSZ suggested and change my order count to 5 or 6 digits instead of one, but I'm not sure which piece of code to change. I see some zeros but I am not sure which exact code to alter, I don't want to mess it up.

No need to mess with code.

ok, but it is confusing that business about a test order, i'm trying to figure that part out. it says use the test order to complete the information below but then I am lost.


Create a test order first. Then, using this Test Order ID complete the information below.
The New Order ID for the next Real Order should be entered as 1 less than the Order ID you wish to use.
Example: If you want your next Real Order ID to be 1225, enter the number 1224

WARNING: You can only reset the Order ID forward, and not backwards.
So if you set the Orders ID to 25, then change it again to 20, the next Orders ID will still be 26.

To make a test order - BUY something from the shop - Hint - set up a test product with the price of .01 -
