How can we change the Order numbering/naming to add 2 or 3 letter prefix to the number generated? thanks.

You can register your own method for formatting the order numbers like described here:

I've seen that before, but I would like to know where would one put that code, which files and how would you use it.
What is the syntax of the parameters it accepts and are there any restrictions.

Add them to the AppServiceProvider::boot() method of your Laravel application like you would do for Laravel macros.

Hi,

The sample code in above link works for me when changing syntax 'method' for 'macro'.

Code: Select all

use \Aimeos\MShop\Order\Item\Standard as Order;
//below method results in error (method not defined):
Order::method( 'ordernumber', function( \Aimeos\MShop\Order\Item\Iface $order ) {
    return 'RE-' . date( 'Y' ) . '-' . $order->getId();
} );
//however when changing as macro it works fine:
Order::macro( 'ordernumber', function( \Aimeos\MShop\Order\Item\Iface $order ) {
    return 'RE-' . date( 'Y' ) . '-' . $order->getId();
} );

Although this changes the ordernumber, it does not change the invoicenumber. I wanted to also format the invoicenumber. At least I was able to change the startnumber in table mshop_local_site, but I am still interested to know if it is also possible to format it like the ordernumber.

thanks in advance

"method()" changed to "macro()" in 2022.x+

There's no method for customizing the invoice number in the same way yet but we will add it for the next release. Currently, the only way is to add the code to format the number in all templates where the invoice number is used.
