Send Confirmation Number

Hiya,
I'm building a new web site for a Taxi Company
Just I need the customer to have confirmation number send it by email
please show me the way to do it.

I am wanting to do this also but failing to populate a field with the Entry ID?

What is the short code / how is it done?

Thanks,

Paul

I want to use the entry Id to identify unique applicants to our art show.
I understand how to use it in the notification to the artist. A second form is for submitting the booth fee by an accepted artist. Can this id number be used to cross-reference the forms? How are these ids integrated to the paypay add-on?

don't know how to give you a link to the forms since neither are live? Don't think you can see it with this link to the preview?

sorry if this is not the right place to post. can you help?

1. artists use an application form to enter the selection process and pay an application fee via paypal addon for the show (form 1)
2. the accepted artists can then use the booth selection form to book a space in the show (form2) and pay the booth fee via paypal addon.

i can set-up notifications for both and understand that i can use the merged field to indicate an "application ID" that is the entry ID for the application form. It would be nice to be able to cross-reference the the databases / use one code for all the transactions/communications for each artist who applies.

Hi Chris, I also wanted to show you the code that messed up the wordpress for me and forced me to do a restore:

<?php

add_filter("gform_field_value_uuid", "get_unique");

function get_unique(){

    $prefix = "BDWA"; // 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->prefix . 'rg_lead_detail';
    $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->get_var("SELECT value FROM $table WHERE form_id = '$form_id' AND field_number = '$field_id' AND value = '$unique'");

    if(empty($result))
        return true;

    return false;
}

?>

I go this code from this link: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id 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. Thanks again.

Oh yes, most definitely, I dont mind it being called uuid. 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:

add_filter("gform_field_value_uuid", "uuid");
function uuid($prefix = '')
 {
    $chars = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true));
    $uuid  = substr($chars,0,8) . '-';
    $uuid .= substr($chars,8,4) . '-';
    $uuid .= substr($chars,12,4) . '-';
    $uuid .= substr($chars,16,4) . '-';
    $uuid .= substr($chars,20,12);
    return $prefix . $uuid;
  }

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.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!

OK HERE GOES :D I'll be back to tell you how it went!
