    I have been fighting with this for a while due to the fact that I suck with code.. I am looking for a way to create a field that increases by 1 number every time an order comes in. ie: IPP00001 then IPP00002 and so on. I would like to have "IPP" Always there at the beginning. I was directed to this discussion a while back but I simply confused myself: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/send-confirmation-number#post-145386

    Also, I don't know where I am suppose to input a completed code that would do the trick.. Sorry, I'm a super noob with code.

    If you don't feel comfortable with it, then your best option is to hire a developer. We have a job board on this forum, and recommend sites like jobs.wordpress.net to find able developers. It shouldn't take too long for an intermediate PHP developer to implement for you.

    If you are really keen on doing this yourself, you'll have to digest our documentation, and the learning curve is a bit steep.

    The steps are as follows:
    Create a field to store the value. It should be hidden on your form.
    On gform_after_submission - grab the Entry ID number and combine it with your prefix.
    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission
    Update the field to store the combined value of the prefix and the Entry ID.

    This is a much more secure and easy way to do what you want. I hope it helps. All my best!

    Oh and all customizations go in your theme's functions.php file.
