It worked wonderfully!! Thank you!!!!! Now, I just have to get the total to double on those dates and we are set! LOVING Gravity forms! THANK YOU AGAIN! you guys here are so awesome!! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145509 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 09:43:33 +0000 Chris Hajer 145509@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry, I changed my example before I posted it and posted the wrong version. Replace that code with this code:</p> <pre><code>[php] add_filter(&#39;gform_field_value_uuid&#39;, &#39;customer_reference&#39;); function customer_reference(){ $number = mt_rand(10000000000, 99999999999); return &#39;PLT&#39; . substr($number,0,11); }</code></pre> <p>I just changed it to add 3 more digits as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145406 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 02:27:59 +0000 Prestotaxilimo 145406@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The great news is the code worked, so when I submitted a form, I got this 72200747 , would there be a way to add the PTL to the beginning of that # and maybe adding another 3 numbers to that just to be sure we dont get a repeat? THANK YOU!

The code I am currently using is the first one that generates a serial number but of course, I would prefer more of a reference number that starts with PTL (Presto Taxi Limo) and then a mix of 11 numbers together with letters or just numbers is fine too. So it would look something like this PTL87X98CB987F, It should be guaranteed unique only because we will need to reference this number back to the client when they call in and it would suck if we had a duplicate happen but I think because the number is so complex, it probably is unlikely that it will happen, I dont think that will be an issue. So currently i'm using this code:<br /> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_uuid&quot;, &quot;uuid&quot;); function uuid($prefix = &#39;&#39;) { $chars = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true)); $uuid = substr($chars,0,8) . &#39;-&#39;; $uuid .= substr($chars,8,4) . &#39;-&#39;; $uuid .= substr($chars,12,4) . &#39;-&#39;; $uuid .= substr($chars,16,4) . &#39;-&#39;; $uuid .= substr($chars,20,12); return $prefix . $uuid; }</code></pre> <p>and its working great, could you guide me on how I can add your code so that my site doesn't crash? lol THANK YOU AGAIN, I feel we are so close to getting this right!</p> <p>P.S. If I add your code, should I remove the above code I have been using or do they go together? You have been most helpful, as you can probably tell, I have no experience with this stuff but im very intrigued! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145386 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 01:41:25 +0000 Chris Hajer 145386@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would forget about your second example. We can make the first example more useful. Does the number need to be guaranteed unique, and what does this number mean to you: PTL38700987 (other than the PLT part)? Can we just generate a random 8 digit number, and add PLT to the front of it? You can use this if that works for you:</p> <p>NOTE: see revised code here:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145509" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145509</a></p> <p>Did you already add a uuid field to your form which will hold this value? Are you OK with it being called uuid? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145376 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 01:00:36 +0000 Prestotaxilimo 145376@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris, I also wanted to show you the code that messed up the wordpress for me and forced me to do a restore:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php add_filter(&quot;gform_field_value_uuid&quot;, &quot;get_unique&quot;); function get_unique(){ $prefix = &quot;BDWA&quot;; // update the prefix here do { $unique = mt_rand(); $unique = substr($unique, 0, 8); $unique = $prefix . $unique; } while (!check_unique($unique)); return $unique; } function check_unique($unique) { global $wpdb; $table = $wpdb-&gt;prefix . &#39;rg_lead_detail&#39;; $form_id = 7; // update to the form ID your unique id field belongs to $field_id = 1; // update to the field ID your unique id is being prepopulated in $result = $wpdb-&gt;get_var(&quot;SELECT value FROM $table WHERE form_id = &#39;$form_id&#39; AND field_number = &#39;$field_id&#39; AND value = &#39;$unique&#39;&quot;); if(empty($result)) return true; return false; } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>I go this code from this link: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id</a> it was posted by David smith, I did as he suggested, changed the prefix, form ID and field ID and then it completely crashed my site, I had to call support to do a restore :( not sure what I did wrong but im terrified to touch the code lol, I did try the first code that generates that long serial number and that word wonderfully, its just that the number is way tooooo long.

Any advice is really appreciated! Thanks again for your help! </p>
