[SOLVED] VM2 interface shows inhumane order numbers instead of readable order ID

(1/4) > >>

e-trader:
VM1.1 had readable order ID like 4653 where VM2 shows unreadable long order numbers like 132_fe92006126bd3dd3d8b025a78932.

From the perspective of business administration, having a number which is readable, something you an sort on as well is.. a big advantage, hence I don't understand the change, it seems like going backwards. If a customer would be phoning or mailing about a order number.. imagine having to state the new number! <impossible>.

VM1 order id format



Don't get me wrong, VM2 is such a great improvement in many ways... am I the only one who has a problem with this?

i agree - anyone??

Milbo:
There will be a plugin soon, so that you can define your own settings for customer, order and, invoice number.

Is there any news about this plugin?
I would like to change the order numbers so they make more sense.

Milbo:
the 2.0.2 has a serial id in the last chars. So it is already better now. example Orders 60-64
2c48064
efec063
497e062
13fe061
d73c060

corresponding invoice numbers are something like 1202285da062 for the ordernumber 2c48064

first is the date in the format yymmdd then some random chars after that the serial number. This system is atm built in. Plugin will follow within the next month.
