My client wasn't happy with the length of the auto-generated gift certificate codes (16 characters long). Here's the tweak I made to cause the system to generate shorter codes:

In /admin/giftcerts.php look for

	$gcid = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(rand())));

and change this to

	$gcid = substr(strtoupper(md5(uniqid(rand()))),0,6);

This simply trims the original gcid down to the last 6 characters. It should be noted that this statistically reduces the uniqueness of the the Gift Certificate code.

This was done in x-cart gold 4.0.13

That works great, thanks. But it only works if you enter a GC in the admin area. If a customer buys a GC it is still the long code...hmmm

I tried looking at /giftcert.php, not /admin/giftcerts.php but nothing with MD5 there.

hmmm, wonder how to fix this?

Thanks again.
