These need to be 10 digit including 3 digit prefix. I found <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id</a> and <a href="http://pastie.org/1398955" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1398955</a> which works perfect apart from generating random numbers. We want numbers to be generated in incremental order rather than random numbers. I am not familiar with php, so can you please help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/entry-ids-dynamically-populated-with-a-prefix-as-a-po-number#post-145671 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:36:23 +0000 Gil Namur 145671@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>Please don't shoot me if this has been covered but I searched and searched and can not find this.</p> <p>To generate a PO Number, I have been using the code that David Smith provided here which works great!: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id</a></p> <p>Now I have a client that needs multiple forms.

A PO Number Field ... would REALLY be a great feature to add.

Setting up the form is easy enough, creating the post from the form is easy enough but I wanted to know if there is a way to add some kind of Unique Auto Incrementing ID number into each post. In theory, the voting form would say "Please enter the name of the mom you are voting for" but to avoid any duplicates or user errors, I'd rather just say "Please enter the unique # of the mom you are voting for".</p> <p>So instead of Jane Smith, they would have to enter #20120328 into the 2nd voting form.</p> <p>Is there a way to automatically create and display these unique IDs on the post page (after they've submitted the first form)? </p>
