adding current year to prefix

Hi @dumbo16556,

Currently, the plugin does not support shortcode based inputs. We have added it to backlogs for future enhancements.

is there anything I can add in the meanwhile to your php? Or do you have an idea when this will be added i.e. next update in 6 weeks??

Thank you very much for your fast supply

Hi @dumbo16556,

We have developed a custom snippet for you. Copy below code to your theme’s functions.php. Make sure to update the plugin settings once the code is added and saved.

add_filter('wt_order_number_sequence_prefix', 'webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix', 10, 1);

function webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix($perfix){
   return date('Y_m_d')."_";
}

If you like the plugin, please leave us a review.

Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately it adds the date from today to all orders instead of the order date…

besides I was incapable of adding a prefix to the year but that’y a minor problem ??

Hi @dumbo16556,

In that case, please try using below code snippet.

add_filter('wt_order_number_sequence_data', 'webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix', 10, 3);

function webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix($order_number, $prefix, $order_id) {

   $order = wc_get_order($order_id);
   if (is_object($order)) {
       return date('Y_m_d', strtotime($order->get_date_created())) . "_";
   } else {
       return $order_number;
   }
}

NEARLY THERE.. (sorry) you are going into the right direction ??

The year works now but instead of adding the sequential number it ads the buyer name.. strange

Hi @dumbo16556,

Can you please share a screenshot so that we can understand the issue better.

OK i solved the problem for past orders but NOT FOR NEW ORDERS… ??

add_filter(‘wt_order_number_sequence_data’, ‘webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix’, 10, 3);

function webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix($order_number, $prefix, $order_id) {

$order = wc_get_order($order_id);
if (is_object($order)) {
return “Yourprefix_” .date(‘Y’, strtotime($order->get_date_created())) . “_01_” . $order_number;
} else {
return $order_number;
}
}

this finally returns: Yourprefix_2020_01_0001 (0001 = ordernumber)
but new orders do only show the ordernumber

somehow I cant add screenshots here.. sorry

imported orders are now: #prefix_2020_01_0001
new order: #0002

Hi @dumbo16556,

Please add this code snippet too to the site then. DO NOT SAVE SETTINGS after adding this.

add_filter('wt_order_number_sequence_prefix', 'webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix_only', 10, 1);

function webtoffee_order_number_sequence_prefix_only($perfix){
   
   return "Yourprefix_" .date('Y_m_d');

}

G R E A T you are my H E R O!!!

So once you update I simply take this snippet out, right?

Hi @dumbo16556,

We will let you know when we include this feature in the plugin. Till then, please keep the code snippet active.

Please leave us a review here, if you like the plugin and support.
