Actually, computers can't generate a true random number as any deterministic method would necessitate that it is not 'random' by definition. But for most intensive purposes, you can create a 'psuedo random' number.

Someone mentioned Amazon order numbers and I thought I would have a go at recreating their randomness and pattern of 3-7-7 digits.
Code:
<?php // Range of numbers // Minimum number $min = "1000000"; // Maximum number $max = "9999999"; echo "105-". mt_rand($min, $max); echo "-". mt_rand($min, $max); ?>
That will spit out an Amazon-esque Order ID. Note, I said 'Order ID' which is what Amazon refers to an order as. Most certainly they would have a unique internal ordering system.

As for testing a used number, well this code snippet uses 14 unique numbers. The possibility for creating a duplicate number with this spread is like 22,876,792,454,961:1 and I don't think it would warrant any test to see if the number was previously generated. You have better odds winning multiple powerball lottos...

Does anyone know if this works in v4.2.0?

I'm trying it, but it's not working for me.

If anyone is still interested in this thread...

This mod does work on v4.2.0

For some reason, it took a few orders for it to start working. I'm not sure why. Perhaps a cache thing.

FYI: I noted the same issue when I recently upgrade to v4.1.12 (the first 5 or so orders incremented by exacly 1, then it started working). Seems like a caching issue could make testing a little frustrating at first.

I've just installed this mod in 4.2.1 and it started working on the next order.

Default Re: Order ID Random Incrementation...

I just wanted to report that this mod works in 4.3.0 too.

cart.php is a bit different, but the line of code that needs to be added can be inserted at line 950.

Default Re: Order ID Random Incrementation... 4.3.1

In 4.3.1 it seems to be the same as the instructions for 4.1.x:

Find:

$smarty->assign("orderids", $orderids); $smarty->assign("main","order_message"); $location[] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_order_processe d"), "");

Replace with:

$smarty->assign("orderids", $orderids); $smarty->assign("main","order_message"); include $xcart_dir."/include/increment.php"; $location[] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_order_processe d"), "");

That is working for us.

Any chance this could be upgraded for v4.4.1?

I had trouble finding the code.

Thanks.
